Freshman: UMKC has an amazing campus for students. They offer various academic , health and food resources for those who are in need of help. They prioritize working with students and are constantly asking for feedback. They want to hear what you think, in order to make improvements. I love the environment and community at UMKC. Everyone is welcoming and want to help. I highly recommend checking out UMKC and exploring what they have to offer!... Read 1,411 reviews

Junior: I love Park University! The campus is in the best location in all of Arizona (in my opinion) and I have yet to have a professor who is not invested in the success of their students. I am a student-athlete and Park University has made it possible for me to continue in both my sport and academic careers. I would love to see the school (the Arizona campus) grow a lot more and become more well-known. More accessible student housing would be nice as well, so that I could save money by going that route.... Read 1,300 reviews

Senior: My experience here is second to none. I have gone to quite a few colleges and this is the first one where I felt I was more than a number. There are plenty of resources on campus from mental health, physical health, and academic. There are more than just the professors having a hand in the students’ academic success. There was a time where one of my mind-term grades were low and I received a email from student success wanting to set up a meeting to discuss how we can get the grade up and the tools that I have available to me. Although it was due to a professor forgetting to put in a grade, it meant a lot to know that everyone cares. The reason it did not get 5 starts is because I wish there were updates to the campus overall, specifically the student fitness center.... Read 433 reviews

Freshman: My freshman experience as a civil engineering student at William Jewell College has been transformative, shaping my academic and professional aspirations. The challenging curriculum, supportive faculty, and hands-on learning opportunities have fueled my passion for engineering. While I appreciate the strengths of the program, I also believe that improvements in facilities, internship support, industry connections, and diversity and inclusion efforts would further enhance the educational experience for civil engineering students. As I embark on my journey as an engineer, I am grateful for the foundation I have built at William Jewell College and eagerly anticipate the growth and opportunities that lie ahead....

Alum: Calvary's a great school - I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees here. I first came in 2013, and when I first attended, there were some culturally legalistic issues that affected campus life - things like strict dress codes, poor discipline methods, and a general attitude towards students that treated us like children instead of adults. I stayed for the education, which is really, really excellent - especially the counseling, business, and theology departments. By the time I finished up at Calvary (2021ish), the school had come a dramatically long way in being more grace-filled and discipleship-focused, and much of that old legalism that has characterized so many Christian higher-ed spaces has melted away....
