Alum: Best decision I ever made. Extraordinary undergraduate engagement through inspired teaching and mentoring. Lifelong friendships with faculty and peers. A commitment to reasoned discourse. Study abroad encouraged and facilitated even if pre med. Gorgeous campus. Inclusive residential life. Brilliant yet helpful classmates from every state and over 100 countries. I still regularly talk to my roommates 34 years later. Unparalleled sports with far reaching esprit de corps. As an undergraduate English Philosophy Pre Med Major whose now a Pediatric Psychiatrist, I would love to do it all again. When I occasionally go back to campus I love perusing the bookstore stacks to see what kids are reading these days in the disciplines. I remain grateful they have not abandoned their mission to form young people to be a force for good in the world. When I talk to current students, they give me hope.... Read 1,416 reviews

Senior: Fantastic experience thus far. I have transferred from a lackluster institution and Purdue blows it out of the water. Academics within the Polytechnic Institute have been both challenging but rewarding to pursue by yourself--or better yet with others! Campus is beautiful and is rapidly expanding upon but more housing is needed on campus and by West Lafayette (thankfully downtown Lafayette is a great off campus place to be). Opportunities no joke pop up everyday due to the connections and reputation has for its students. And nearly everyone is both kind and helpful in every aspect of your academic career. Give it a consideration, you wont regret it if you love a bigger, but personable college experience!... Read 5,058 reviews

Sophomore: I completed my first year at Rose-Hulman during the 2022-2023 academic year. Overall, it was a great experience. Rose is a smaller college with a tight-knit community. The academics are engineering-focused and challenging. There are three 10-week quarters each year with an additional 11th week of final exams at the end of each one, as well as an online-only summer quarter. This means the classes are fast-paced, but resources like professor office hours and the Learning Center tutoring program make it doable. If you are interested in getting a degree in a STEM field and are up for the challenge, Rose is the place for you and will be very rewarding.... Read 422 reviews

Freshman: The University of Evansville has fantastic faculty members committed to ensuring your success at UE and after. Each person I have talked to is willing to help find important information, has made sure I am excited for the transition from high school to college, and any questions I have are answered or directed to someone capable of answering. The only thing I would like to see change is the tuition rate. UE is a private school, which is an advantage to me personally. However, it also makes it extremely difficult to cover costs without completing school with a significant amount of debt. They do their best to award all financial aid they can to their students though!... Read 743 reviews

Junior: Valparaiso University is a small school in Valparaiso, Indiana who's boasts are its rich history with the Lutheran church, its nationally ranked college of engineering, college of nursing, and meteorology program. When it comes to academics, Valpo has tried its best to support me in both my successes and struggles. While the structural portion of the civil engineering courses seems to be subpar currently, all other classes have been advantageous for my degree. The College of engineering has helpful professors and helping hands offered by other students because of its small size. Socially, Valpo may be a little more difficult to navigate because there is a low student population. But, Valpo does try to offer everything it can to suit your wants and needs. As a christian, I was struggling to find a group. But I found the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and a worship service called Celebrate! in which I now participate weekly in both. Valpo has served me well.... Read 1,133 reviews

Sophomore: Even though I am currently a sophomore transitioning into a junior student at Purdue University Northwest this upcoming school year, I can already confidently say that my time at Purdue University Northwest has been one of the most delightful educational experiences I've ever had since elementary school. The environment created by both the general student body AND the professors allowed me to easily adapt and, therefore, get along with everybody, leading to a very digestible, excellent learning experience as a result! In addition, help and aide is just around the corner whenever I have any questions, concerns, and/or comments. Purdue University Northwest is truly an excellent choice for anyone looking for secondary education in the state of Indiana, especially in the Lake County!... Read 1,514 reviews

Junior: What I liked at the University of Southern Indiana was how all of the staff, faculty, employers, professors, and peers/students all made me feel welcome even after the very first time I stepped onto campus! The professors try to be as helpful as possible to make sure you can do everything in your power to succeed in your future career, and the different organizations/clubs are so inviting and ways to be a member of! Student worker positions are also super flexible and helpful too in ensuring academic success and well-being!... Read 999 reviews

Freshman: I think Purdue University Fort Wayne is great at supporting academic research, connecting with professors, and connecting with other peers. First, Purdue University Fort Wayne support students getting involved with academic research and different labs across campus. As a biology major, this is a very helpful part of my academic career and allows me to get hands on with my work. Also, Purdue University Fort Wayne encourages students to reach out to their professors and nurture a connection. By doing this, it has allowed me to be able to not be afraid to reach out and ask for help when needed. It has also helped me be able to feel less lost as I go through my college career as a first generation student. To continue, Purdue University Fort Wayne encourages students to connect with other peers through various campus events and clubs. This has allowed me to make friends even as an out-of-state student. It has also helped me able to feel more involved.... Read 1,302 reviews

Junior: When I first transferred to Trine University, I was not sure of what I would expect. After spending a few weeks at Trine, I felt at home. The professors here don't just care about academic success, they also care about your wellbeing outside of the classroom. I constantly have professors check in on me everyday and it truly makes my day. Professors offer to have lunch with students instead of being cooped up in their office during those lunch hours. Students are not rude to each other here. They hold doors for others, offer meal swipes, and offer a lot of tutor help. The buildings are always kept pretty clean. The academic rates of graduation here are very high and about 99-100% of students in my major have graduated and gotten jobs right after school. Trine University not only cares about the academic success of students, but it cares about so much more than that.... Read 660 reviews
