I loved my experience at Rust so far. Even though the pandemic hampered a few things, the new administration has keep everything running well. I loved my professors. I loved my choir directors. The campus is always livid and filled with activities. The student body is very kind. It’s a small campus but that’s best for me because I get to know everyone by name.
If I could change anything it would be to modernize Rust more. We are heading in that direction but some things on campus still look “prehistoric”. I had the opportunity to interview the President of Rust, Dr. Ivy Taylor. Her new plan for Rust is called “The Rustian Renaissance.” With this plan, Rust is becoming more modernized.

My experience at Rust College has been a rollercoaster like a lot of students college experiences will be. I believe it is what you make it as an individual and not as much on the school especially when the school gives you things to do. Rust College is a very affordable, family-oriented learning institution that does what they can to help the students succeed. Although it is an older college and has a lot of outdated technology and facilities, it isn't the worst choice to make to attend. I definitely recommend doing a college tour to get a feel for the campus and the people on campus as well to see if Rust fits you and is a place that you can call home!
Rust College has its pros and cons. The one thing that I like about Rust is that it isn’t a big college. Students can learn more easily when there is less students in the classroom. However, I don’t like how the professors teach the class. It feels like they’re teaching high school students. Tbh,I feel like they don’t teach on a college level. When I come to college, I expect for the professors to treat me like an adult. If I don’t come to class that particular day,that doesn’t mean that I don’t like the professor (if that’s what they’re thinking),it could be an emergency of some kind. But other than that,it’s a pretty decent school. The students and the staff are very kind and helpful. That’s all I got to say.
