Sophomore: I love being at MCC. It’s a small enough campus that making friends is easy! It also helps that you only have one building with classes. The teachers are the kindest people ever and they are willing to work with people one on one! One things I would like to see change is how many people are on campus sometimes I wish it was bigger so there were more people to do stuff with.... Read 107 reviews

Senior: My experience at MidAmerica has been rocky. The usual ups and downs as a student, however there are many great things about this university. I enjoy the sense of community at the school, it can be slightly overwhelming due to the school's population. As for things I would love to see change is the finances for future students, for my years the school's price has constantly increased. With no benefits to the student of increasing pricing, they added a new student center but all other buildings are fairly old.... Read 300 reviews

Freshman: I am excited to begin my journey at Benedictine College this Fall. I have seven older siblings who attended this school! The community is warm and close. The professors are personal and available. The classes are challenging!! The town of Atchison welcomes the students of Benedictine College, which brings economic boon to the town. During Covid, this school stood by its students and fought for them to stay on campus when the county wanted to impose severe limitations. In addition to all that, the school is faithfully Catholic and the grounds are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. The president of this college greets each student arriving in the Fall, prays for each student, immerses himself in the student population, and leads with integrity and vision. What a gift to spend 4 years at this college.... Read 557 reviews

Niche User: I am so excited to be attending there next year! They have an endless amount of opportunities for me as a Journalism major. Ranging from amazing equipment to amazing job opportunities within the school, one being KU Athletics. The school is huge which allows for many opportunities to meet all kinds of different people from all over. I get to learn about their cultures and ways of life that I didn't even know about before. The atmosphere not only on campus but Lawrence itself is unreal. The safety I feel within it allows me to be myself. It's my home away from home.... Read 3,407 reviews

Alum: Washburn feels like home to me. It is an amazing place to learn in small class settings and has a lively community of students of all ages and backgrounds. It is extremely affordable compared to other universities in the state and has some beautiful new additions to campus since I graduated. I was able to have a 1-on-1 relationship with all of my professors and that helped me better comprehend the materials I was being taught and made learning fun and easy, especially knowing I always had help if needed. The campus is picturesque and the living spaces are comfortable and inviting. Plus, they just added a new merit scholarship grid that is based solely on your high school GPA, so you can get a big scholarship right off the bat just for applying! I wish they had that when I attended, although I still paid off my education less than a year after graduating! It's a first-class education at an affordable rate and I can't recommend enough....

Sophomore: Kansas State University couldn't be more perfect for me and for what I'm majoring in. They have so many resources for students for all kinds of situations including research opportunities, on-campus jobs, tutoring, financial assistance and so much more. All of the instructors that I've had have been very open about expectations and how to succeed, and there are many advisors, instructors, etc, that you can reach out to when needing assistance or information. Though it is a very large campus it feels like home and it is easy to find your niche!... Read 3,470 reviews

Freshman: Wichita State University is a great start for someone who is looking for a college and lives around the Wichita area. I grew up in Wichita and have always had a hard time fitting in. But at Wichita State University, I feel like there are many places where I could connect with others who share similar interests. I plan to finish my degree with Wichita State University and look for more opportunities that are made easily accessible by the university. However, my problem with WSU is the surrounding area and it does not have many sports. WSU feels limited in the freedom of students because Wichita surrounds it. This makes it harder to experience "college life", especially when I have grown up here. Also, I know there are complications with sports here, but I believe that we can bring back an amazing football and basketball team that can compete in college sports leagues. Still, I love this place, Go Shocks!... Read 1,619 reviews

Sophomore: My first year at Butler was amazing! I met two of my bestest friends on only the first day of school! The teachers are also great. My public speaking class, which I was nervous for, turned out to be my favorite class of my whole first year! My biology professor made everything easy to understand and related the topics to our lives so we would better understand. I was also lucky enough to have the same teacher for two different classes which was really helpful since I already knew how she ran everything. The environment is small yet welcoming which makes it very easy to talk to people even as an introvert. I have also attended multiple sporting events which had high energy throughout the whole game! I recommend Butler to everyone I talk to and I can’t wait to see what the up coming year has in store for me.... Read 475 reviews

Freshman: I transferred to Baker University for the Spring semester (2021) and have absolutely loved it so far! The admissions department was understanding of my situation at my former institution and extremely helpful in getting everything in order for the transition. All of my credits from high school and my previous University transferred over and I was able to get into all the classes that applied with my major. Another thing I have noticed since being at Baker is how involved the student body is in different activities and events the Student Life Office and other school organizations, like Sororities, have throughout the week. On most days there is a new club/group handing out snacks or fun items to students and inviting us to participate in the activity they are hosting. I have only been here a short time but I am so excited for the next four years in Baldwin!... Read 501 reviews

The student community is very lively and supportive of school functions. The main thing the school should work on is the communication between administration and students.

Junior: I really enjoyed the small classrooms size and how much the professors are invested in your all over success, whether school or sports. KWU understands the balance between sports and academics. They value the individual over everything. I do wish that the clubs on campus were more visible to students and the community. Sports definitely takes a forefront at the school but I do wish there were more community opportunities for students even with a busy athletic schedule.... Read 188 reviews

The student life is very involved in Lindsborg and the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. They've always communicated with me throughout my college search, which stood out to me the most. The athletic department also tried their very best to make Bethany affordable to me. The students on campus were also very open to me and made me feel comfortable here in Lindsborg.

The students are also so kind and welcoming, it is refreshing being in a place where I feel so safe. There are countless student-led activities, and this is a great Christian atmosphere with many people showing Jesus' Love. This is also an excellent place for people who aren't religious, and there are other connections to this college besides religion. I would highly recommend Tabor to anyone considering going to college.... Read 171 reviews

They also try to really welcome everyone with a number of activities before the semester starts. These activities include bowling, water park, etc. The staff is really helpful as well, everyone knowing everyone really allows for genuine interactions. The only thing to improve would be to renovate the campus starting with dorms.... Read 93 reviews

Senior: As a transfer student to Bethel College, I was shocked to experience such a culture of support and community that I was greeted with upon my arrival on campus. The positivity and school pride that engulfs the atmosphere at any campus event whether its an athletic event, musical, or even convocation every Monday is unmatched. I made the right decision by going to Bethel College, because it feels great to be surrounded by staff and other students that value you as a person and want to see you succeed. The only thing I would like to see changed is remodeling of the residential facilities and additions to the athletic facilities.... Read 240 reviews

Niche User: Creates a warm welcoming atmosphere for students, and better still, it creates "instant community" for students with each other, and with good 'party' homes and houseparents in the community. No other place I've heard of does this! Students find a place to belong. Surprisingly, tends to draw high school students with strong Christian values who go on to succeed more highly in the world than their high school peers. Maybe because Hesston draws and/or builds entrepreneurial spirit or a sense of calling to the workplace. I highly recommend this college for its Christian values and building sense of community and belonging based on its historical foundation and experiences.... Read 105 reviews
