Freshman: I am currently a freshman at Creighton University. From the short time I have been there, I have seen that the community there is kind and caring. I have met many wonderful people that have made the change from home to college easier. People there truly care about you and will help you with any of your concerns. Aside from the people, the campus is small which helps one get to classes quickly from your dorm. It also allows you to get to know campus better and make stronger and lasting relationships. There are several clubs you can join. Currently I am in the EMT club which has allowed me to meet people who are interested in majoring in Paramedicine, but also get to learn some skills that will benefit you once you start EMT classes. I also work at the library which has given me another chance to meet new people and bond with my co-workers. Overall, my experience at Creighton University has been challenging but also exciting. I cannot wait to make more lasting memories!... Read 1,102 reviews

Junior: Union College was my first college where I applied to and got to experienced a new chapter. I got to experienced a friendship where you don’t need to be blood-related in order to be family! Here in Union College, I take Nursing major and so far it is great. I was able to experienced what it is like to be a nurse. Though there were ups and downs, I was proud to say that I am part of the Union College students. On the contrary, I have a disability of hard-of-hearing. In other words, I wear hearing aids on both ears. The disability department was really helpful in being able to make sure that every professor I have is accommodating. The accommodations helped me to move on through life educationally and personally.... Read 365 reviews

Sophomore: I attend Nebraska Wesleyan and I love my experience so far with the Communications department and Women’s Soccer! They do have a lack of diversity, because of the location and the cost of the school. I think besides lack of diversity it is a good school, just pretty expensive, so make sure to get your scholarships. Wesleyan does have great programs in each department and a lot of opportunities for study abroad, hands-on experience, foreign language, and things in the medical field.... Read 444 reviews

Senior: One thing I love about Midland is the small community. I have anxiety and it is often sparked by being in overpopulated communities. Midland has given me the opportunity to feel comfortable in a learning space where I know my classmates and professors on a level I may not have ever gotten at a larger school. I feel like I have a voice on this campus and I matter. Something I would like to see change is the relationship between teams. Some sports are misunderstood and underappreciated. I think if teams paired up and maybe did a switch day where they had to experience another sports practice schedule, the amount of work everyone puts in as a student-athlete would be better admired among each other and crowd support for more games may increase....

The faculty are great to work with and the small class sizes make it easy for professors to help you. Lincoln is also just a great town to live in. It is like living in a small town, but it is actually big.... Read 162 reviews

Freshman: I love the small class sizes. The average size of a class is around 10 students so that really helps the professors do more of a one-on-one with students if they are struggling with anything. All the staff and professors are extremely helpful with any questions you have even if it's not their department they will always go out of their way to find the answer and get back to you promptly. Clarkson also have a mentor program which not a lot of schools have and they have really tailored it to the student because you can talk to your mentor about anything even if its not college related because they understand how stressful college is on students and want them to have a break and a breather sometimes. All in all I absolutely love my experience here at Clarkson and everyone is very friendly,... Read 128 reviews

I like having smaller classes and being able to interact with other classmates. Having different locations to attend class is a convenient thing for me! Professors are very nice, understanding and helpful at the South and Fort campuses!

I loved having a smaller educational community that helped me feel like I wasn't getting lost in the crowd and at the same time having multiple opportunities that a larger school can offer!

Sophomore: I attended Northeast Community College's College Center in my hometown. I absolutely loved every single one of my teachers. They were very personable and helpful. Class sizes were small and I built relationships with all of my classmates. Northeast classes offer a variety of different people from a multitude of backgrounds and ages to contribute to the classroom discussions. This opened my eyes to so many other viewpoints. This being said my admissions counselor was not as helpful as I had hoped for. Although I feel my teachers prepared me for the furthering of my education, my admissions advisor did not prepare me for the continuation of my educational career. Thus, going on to pursue my bachelor's, I am behind in some areas. All in all, I definitely recommend Northeast to everyone looking for a college education. I feel it was the best decision I made coming out of high school. This college offered me an affordable education and good memories in the two years that I attended.... Read 400 reviews

Sophomore: I love my college!! All the professors are super helpful and enthusiastic teachers. They really want you to achieve your goals, and it shows. Plus, if you are still struggling after extra teacher help, the college offers free tutoring services for all students. It is a wonderful environment to be in, and I love participating in various student activities. Just last week, we had a salsa cook-off! So after you finish all your studying there are plenty of opportunities to have fun and make new friends.... Read 217 reviews

Junior: I have loved every second of my time at Doane. I came from out of state purely based on the opportunity to play on the women's soccer team. I was honestly preparing for the worst but was pleasantly surprised when I got to Doane. The campus community is incredibly immersive and inclusive. It feels great to have everyone on campus know you and support you! There are many organizations to get involved with on campus including greek life, which means there really is a place for every kind of student. Academics are great, small class sizes and personable professors really set you up for success. Athletics can be hit or miss depending on the sport, I have really enjoyed the soccer program but have heard negative things about the softball and volleyball teams. The food could be better and there could be more communication between the administration and students. There is also a really high turnover wait for faculty which can be concerning. On another note, campus is BEAUTIFUL!... Read 356 reviews

Graduate Student: Hello, My name is Sergio and I am a recent graduate of Mid-Plains Community college! I graduated with my two tear associates degree in science and have much experience with this school, both online and on campus. Most all the teachers take a particular interest on students and allows for a more familiar and friendly teaching experience. I rarely found it difficult to be able to speak to my professors or any staff as a matter of fact! Staff and facility are great f top tier performance and I have little to complain about. As for the physical school, I have no complaints either. A brand new building that is taken care of frequently and all informed problems are felt with remarkably fast. Many of my friends from other school envied how clean and modern Mid- Plains Community College at North Platte looked. I have much love for this schools and enjoyed every minute of my stay and experience. I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking for a two year degree!... Read 109 reviews
