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

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 302 reviews

Freshman: My experience at Southwestern College has been interesting. It is not a very large college, so almost everyone knows everyone. I can say however that there is always something for you to do on campus, like attending a volleyball game or a soccer game or football games in the fall. Southwestern is like one big family and everyone here are good people.... Read 126 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 1,625 reviews

Freshman: I am continuously in awe of my school. Everything about this school is just phenomenal. We have the greatest President, and all the faculty and staff are outstanding. 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

Junior: Overall, The University of Saint Mary is a very good school! The professors are very helpful and eager to see you succeed. 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. It can be a challenge to get ahold of someone, but it is noticeable that they are working on fixing this issue.... Read 134 reviews

The campus is also great and has many resources, fun activities, dining options ranging from pizza hut and even on campus Starbucks, and study areas. There are also a large selection of classes to take as well as clubs and activities. Pittstate offers flat rate tuition for all courses. One of my personal interests are their exchange peograms that assist you every step of the way to make it possible!

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 504 reviews

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 3,485 reviews

Sophomore: So far, this university has brought me joy and new friends. What I like most about Emporia State Univesity is the community and the opportunities given to the alums. Community support both for academics and athletics helps propel Emporia State. After we graduate, we are given excellent opportunities to pursue our careers and start internships, this is because professional worksites acknowledge how well Emporia State teaches their students and sets them up for success. With a student body not too big or too small, there are plenty of opportunities to make new friends. Along with making friends, students at Emporia State also create strong, positive relationships with their professors. The students and faculty at Emporia State University also support the athletic programs, and that results in success in many sports. The buildings are up-to-date, but minor improvements to them can make Emporia State University one of the best!... Read 850 reviews

Junior: I have loved my whole experience at MC! From the new friendships to my academic relationships with my professors and advisors. As an McPherson athlete I feel that I am equally valued in the classroom and on the court. What I would change would be the housing the college provides. Housing is limited for students who are needed to be on campus and the housing that is provided on campus is very dated and clearly not viewed as a priority.... Read 198 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 480 reviews

Sophomore: Ive been a student at Barton County Community College on and off for the past handful of years, and am currently a full time student in the Paramedic Program. BCCC has always being incredibly accommodating to me as a student. Particularly, the financial aid department has gone above and beyond to help me make sure everything financial is in order. Especially notable is one of the financial aid ladies bending over backwards, when I lost track of a particular scholarship, in order to make sure I had the help and coverage I needed. On multiple occasions, my teachers and instructors have helped me through class, especially when dealing with personal issues and complications. All staff encounters have been phenomenal, and they truly embody caring about their students. BCCC offers an extensive variety of classes, both in-class and online. They cater to making a student a success, no matter what their plans and goals.... Read 278 reviews

This college also allowed me to attend classes in the evenings and online. I liked that because I work during the day, and they could adjust my class to my work schedule. I also like the variety of career paths that DC3 offers, and it expands opportunities for each of the students attending here. So far, I have had a good experience with teachers and other staff members from DC3 and I recommend attending DC3!... Read 116 reviews

Freshman: My overall experience with Haskell Indian Nations University has been great. My experiences have been only good with the administration and the people who run the school or buildings that are on campus. The workers here are always nice and very accommodating to every religion, and they understand the struggle that is going on with almost every student coming from the same background or something similar. You can feel do you love and want every student to graduate in almost every single employee here teacher. They know most things if not all of what to do in the specific area that they work in. With the school being a government-assisted reservation, we have many opportunities to thrive and get classes that can help our degree at a lower-than-average cost. Education is very affordable for most people who come here and get accepted. it's very Convenient to earn money so it's easier to merge into adult life.... Read 255 reviews

Freshman: Central is a pretty good college to attend. It’s a smaller college population, but on the upside it allows for a more immersive and hands on learning experience. 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 94 reviews
