The professors care about you and want you to succeed. They are willing to help you as long as you let them know what you need or if you’re struggling. There isn’t much to do in Peru, Nebraska but the college plans lots of events in the nearby towns. They do provide transportation so no need to worry about that. The food could be improved but breakfast tends to be pretty good. Student parking is not great in the sense that there isn’t enough parking for the students near the residence hall where they live. There are only some classes that have class on Fridays but if you’re not enrolled in any of them then you will have Fridays off. If a student is looking for jobs, Career Services sends out emails with job opportunities. There is also the chance for students to get an on campus job.
If you like the feeling of a small town or a small college then Peru State College is the place to be. There are 2 towns about 15- 30 min away for easy grocery access, and two larger cities about an 1hr drive for fun and entertainment. I find Peru State College to be a pretty good size college. There is about 25-30 students per class period so it is easy to catch the professor after class or during their office times. For Athletic events that are non-competitive (for Peru students) they have Intramural Sports and for more competitive they have club sports. They also have organizations and other clubs for students to join.
The small campus allowed for easy access to all buildings, instructors were able to get to know students and assist them in their learning progress at a higher level, and students seemed more like “family” and were willing to support each other as such.
