The academics, housing, teachers, students, and diversity is beyond amazing at this school. The food in the cafeteria is okay, but that's what food on West Main and Roadhouse $3 Tender Tuesdays are for! The party scene has also gotten a lot better in the past few years due to more diversity and intercultural individuals coming to campus. People really look out for each other out here, everyone is super nice, but because we really are a community, everyone knows everyone and that can cause drama at times. Otherwise, AMAZING school.
This school is mostly white upper-class Michiganders. Athletics aren't very competitive, and the professors are generally invested in your success. But, the parties aren't safe or very enjoyable, Kalamazoo is too much of a hassle to actually explore, and introverts, don't bother, most social events are in large groups and you'll feel very anxious and uncomfortable. Stacks is good food in a jam, caf is fairly average, food surrounding campus is just okay. A lot of clubs and potential interests, but you won't have time due to a heavy workload. Get a dorm in Harmon, has the most room. Girl and guys, be careful. People here are very sensitive and take a small advance as something much more than what it is. Additionally, people here get offended very easily and any side other than a liberal one isn't respected. People are willfully ignorant and want their worldview reinforced.
Kalamazoo is a small liberal arts college. The capacity of each class can range from a handful of students to approximately 30 students. The size of the class allows students to build a relationship with professors and receive the help that they need.
Kalamazoo also has an amazing study abroad program which allows students to travel and grow as individuals.
Aside from the classes the Kalamazoo community is diverse, you'll meet amazing people from across the country and the world. Kalamazoo is great with providing scholarships and grants for students of color making this private institution affordable.
There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved in social justice work with the college and the surrounding community.
