I just finished my freshmen year at Davenport University, where I'm studying marketing! DU gave me a great freshmen year college experience that prepared me for the next three years of my life. I met so many great people and had special bonds with all the faculty and staff. Being at a small school like DU gave me the opportunities to communicate better to my teachers, and get the extra help I needed to succeed in my classes. Not only am I a full time student but I also work and am apart of the Pompon team at DU. I work under the center of campus life where I help create posters and social media posts, along with help run and set up the school events. I joined the Pom team before my freshman year not knowing much about the sport but its been the best decision I've ever made. For Pom we perform at football and basketball games along with four competitions throughout there year. Overall the school has given me so many resources to succeed along with lifelong friends.
Going into college, I was very nervous, being away from home for the first time. Davenport University was very welcoming and has many resources you can reach out to for help. I love how this is s smaller sized campus, meaning it is easier to get around and make connections. The staff at Davenport always check in and make sure you are doing well! The only complaint I would make about the campus, is with it being small, parking is very limited, and there is not enough spaces for all of the students.
My name is Clint Walker, and this is my third semester at Davenport University. My experience at Davenport during the first year mainly consisted of adapting to a different environment which most college freshmen undergo. Going through changes was good though, the education system at Davenport taught me to be accountable, and responsible and gave me different ways to learn. Besides my hard work, a reason I was able to keep my GPA high during my freshman year was because my teachers made sure I knew what I was doing.
One thing I think Davenport can improve on in the classroom is, incorporating more hands-on work rather than textbook lessons. This is very possible because most classes don't exceed 25 persons per class, unlike larger universities.
