Bowling Green State University Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 2,623 reviews
My experience at Bowling Green State University has been nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere on campus is just radiant and I could not see myself at any other campus. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and all the staff just want you to succeed. The right-knit community just makes this university home. Students on campus, like myself, just have the best time! The only complaint I have heard comes from a commuter friend of mine who doesn’t feel that connection as strongly as I do. That is the only thing I would change about this college. Other than that, my time at BGSU has been great!
Bowling Green State University was a wonderful experience for me. I have been on countless college visits, but none of them truly felt like home for me. It is a big university with a small-town feel which was perfect for me. The tour guides are very friendly, personable, and honest. It was nice to hear about everything from the dorm living to the activities around the campus such as their favorite restaurants and what they like to do in their free time. Overall just a great experience, defiantly recommend at the least visiting the beautiful campus. Cannot wait to start next year!
Best bang for your buck University!
I came to BGSU out of state and still was able to complete 4 years for less money than I would at any larger in state school.
BGSU puts the opportunity into the hands of the students and lets them decide how they want their college experience to be. There is lots of ways to get involved with the University, but my favorite part was there was lots of opportunities to get involved with the town and the locals as well.
My best way to explain BGSU: It is a good education, but a great time (night life, extracurriculars, etc.)
