Rating 3.9 out of 5 935 reviews
I was immediately drawn to Calvin University because of how high Calvin's placement rate is. Most of Calvin's students are assured of employment because they have been well-equipped. Calvin's commitment in ensuring that their students are successful in their future careers is absolutely commendable. Calvin also offers superb academic support. As I browsed through the services offered via Calvin's website, Calvin certainly has
the students best interests at heart. Each service has been carefully designed to assist and equip students with resources and tips to help them excel in their studies as well as a person. As a potential student, I feel very comforted knowing this. Other than the peaceful, lush setting that encircles Calvin, the community at Calvin University seemed to be one that is filled with cheerfulness and warmth. I attended a few of Calvin's online webinars and the professors, along with the student representatives, were extremely
helpful and friendly.

My experience at Calvin as an international student has been good so far.
The classes have been a bit difficult for me, I studied all day, and there was always too much homework; If you are a person who likes to enjoy your free time, get ready! You will not sleep!
I love the campus because it is surrounded by nature and has a native garden! So it's a good place if you don't like the city's noise.
It has been difficult for me to enter the community because practically everyone is white.
Regarding the food, it's just disgusting, no taste, no salt, raw at times.

Overall, there is a really great community around Calvin! Professors care for students and academics are very good. As with any University, there are some things that I would change, but overall I really have enjoyed my time at Calvin so far.
