IF YOU ARE NOT AN ATHLETE, ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. As a senior to graduate this upcoming fall, this COVID-19 pandemic has shown me how much the Clarke administration does not care about non-athletic students, or even its students involved in the arts. My professors in the business department care about my education and want me to succeed, but the administration only sees you as dollar signs. If you want an on-campus job, you better be involved in something at Clarke too otherwise you won't be getting the job. Also DO NOT listen to anything the financial aid department has to say about private loans, they will pressure you to get them when they are the worst type of loans that will severely damage your credit. The parking lots are also ridiculous in the winter. The grounds department does not care if there is 5+ inches of snow and ice, they'd rather be threatened to be sued before they do anything.
Clarke University is a small school. Class sizes range from 4-30 people so professors have the ability to be attentive and are extremely helpful when it comes to setting up one on one instruction. Clarke is very academically oriented, but still boasts a school population with the vast majority being student-athletes. This perpetuates a competitive environment in both academics and athletics so that not only professors are supporting you, but teammates and coaches as well. Being a small school, you see a lot of the same people every day so its very easy to get comfortable and get to know people in the community.
A small college with programs that prepare students for their careers, not only within their majors, but in a general sense as well. It has a very friendly community and professors who want to see their students succeed. The college has many resources for students, like help with writing and study sessions for specific classes or subjects. Internships are also available, allowing a student to gain relevant experience, make connections, and often help pay tuition.
