Sophomore: Most of the teachers are awesome! The administration is lacking competency unfortunately, especially when it comes to financial aid/tuition issues or credit transfers. The campus is pretty old, and most of the buildings do not have A/C. Although the campus terrain is beautiful, it is incredibly hilly and a bit treacherous in the winter months with steep inclines and lots of steps. As such, the campus overall is not ADA-compliant unless one drives and parks directly in front of the desired building--not walkable.... Read 376 reviews

Sophomore: I am from San Francisco, and it was a very big change going from California to Iowa but Cornell College really made it feel easy, except for the snow and the cold! I love most of the professors and they are all very dedicated to their subjects and classes. The campus is gorgeous and very nice, if not a bit hilly. The main hub of campus, Thomas Commons, is a nice place to relax every once in a while when I don’t want to go to my dorm room or just want a place to sit for a bit. I like the sense of comfort I have when walking around campus and the student body, a feeling probably started by our incredibly kind President Brand. While the upperclassmen dorms are a bit rough, they’re okay and livable (sometimes, hahaha). Overall there is little I’d change; I really do feel supported here both as a person and as a student....

Freshman: This is the best school I’ve ever attended. Instead of one teacher there are teaching assistants & the class is broken down into groups so it isn’t overwhelming. The lectures are short & tailored to all learning styles (auditorial, visual). The classes are so insightful & you’ll be inspired & intrigued to learn. A specific Meditation technique is a requirement during the enrollment process & it’s life changing. I never knew consciousness based school existed & im grateful to be apart of the community that proves spirituality with science, physiology & practicality. You also don’t have to do everything at once, as the next week of class isn’t unlocked until the day of the prior weeks due date. Lastly, when you reach out to teachers their responses are timely & the feedback on how to improve is realistic & practical.... Read 163 reviews
