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 1,109 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 446 reviews

Sophomore: Wayne State College has been successful in teaching me how to become an independent young adult. I enjoy the smaller classrooms and individual conversations we have as a class. Being in a smaller school is comforting and each class keeps each student involved. Wayne State provides access to many support systems. This is helpful as I suffer with more than one mental illness. The only thing I would change is being able to move in earlier as a returning student because I need time to get settled in before beginning classes. Overall, Wayne State College is an amazing college and I have enjoyed my experience so far.... Read 558 reviews

  Rating 3.74 out of 5  673 reviews

Alum: What I liked about the University of Nebraska at Kearney is the small town feel it had in a growing relatively bigger city. Kearney had so much to offer for college students. From the Athletics, to the spacious campus, as well as the endless restaurants and beautiful Nebraska scenery in the surrounding areas. It is conveniently located right off the interstate, so it is easily accessible. As far as the curriculum, it is hands down the best bang for your buck for a University. It is part of the University of Nebraska system, so all of the professors are top tier and extremely knowledgeable. I had the experience of being on campus half of my time at UNK, and then remote for my last year at UNK. The transition to being remote was easier than I could have imagined with how well equipped my professors were. Bleed Blue & Gold, go UNK!... Read 673 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 357 reviews

Freshman: When I took my first visit, I instantly fell in love with the campus. The seasons changing from Summer to Fall, it felt like a movie how perfect it was. Meeting the facility and different professors everyone had the same positive energy, everyone was happy to be working here. My first week of college was full of events had different freshman orientation, but they weren't the stereotypical events. The event put on by Hastings College were fun, interactive, and a great was a great place to meet new people. Every student and staff seem to be very happy here and are enjoying going to class. When my first week of class began, I was at first nervous, but those nerves were quickly dismissed. The small class sizes allowed me to easily form relationships with other students and my professor. Hastings College has been better than I could have asked for, and everyday continues to be great. I feel that I can call this place home in only 2 1/2 months of being here.... Read 571 reviews
