Alum: To begin, the size of Rhodes College is ideal for getting to know many other students, especially of other graduation years. The campus has beautiful buildings (though some are better on the outside), and the location next to a large forest is especially beautiful in fall. Memphis has a lot of culture and history to provide too. The weather is pretty nice during the school year, and strong greek life means there are a lot of opportunities to go out. An added benefit is that even though greek life is strongly present, it didn't feel weird to not be a part of it and yet still go to the parties because it's about half- half. I'm thankful for my time there, for my small class sizes, and for some of the best educators I've experienced. The science departments offer plenty of research opportunities and study abroad is encouraged! Go Lynx!... Read 669 reviews

Freshman: I love being a Tiger. The community of students, faculty, and alumni is full of spirit! Every professor I've had so far has been amazing. My history professor, for example, sent me a message saying she was proud of me. All of my professors have been really understanding of any mistakes I've made, too. They're also usually willing to admit to their own mistakes. As someone who was homeschooled and had trouble with math, I was so scared. I was terrified that I would do well, and I would end up with a bad GPA. However, I have a 92% in Algebra and an overall 3.7 GPA! This was definitely the best school for me.... Read 2,223 reviews

Sophomore: My experience at Christian Brothers University so far has been meaningful and very memorable. The tight-knit community that surrounds the institution encourages each Indvidual to embrace their identity and be themselves around campus. They are lots of experiences and opportunities for students to express themselves and grow in their image. Faculty and staff take time to know the students which helps the students excel in their college no matter what major they are in. The success network that is provided for each student is a great system for the school. Though the campus is not large even for a private school, everyone around campus makes the most of it with inclusive events and a hard-working community.... Read 441 reviews
