Freshman: I love my experience at Xavier, even as a freshman everyone is so kind and welcoming. It is a tinier undergrad number but the campus is spacious. With there not being that many undergrads it is easier to know so many people on campus and makes it easy to have small class sizes. Many classes are between 20-30 students. They also put on many student activities so students have chances to get out and meet people. Every student has three different advisors to help with academic, life, and jobs. You are set up with a constant support system to make sure you have everything you need to succeed. It is such a positive environment and has been such an easy transition. It is a great school!...

Other: Clermont College is a great option for anyone looking to take basic college classes. The class sizes are small and the professors know their students by name. Because of the small size of the school, most students study and hang out in the same areas and become familiar with each other. All the students and friendly and the professors really care about each of their students. The cafeteria food isn't great, but that's not a big deal since all the students commute. All the classes at Clermont College use the same technology that the rest of the University of Cincinnati uses, so the college's learning management system is high quality and easy to use. The biggest downsides to Clermont College include the lack of extracurricular activities, the lack of specialized classes and degree programs, and the lack of prestige and course rigor....

Sophomore: GBSC is a great college for people who prioritize spiritual growth. The college is centered around Christ and community. Its chapel services and religious education classes are very enriching and worthwhile. It also offers HLC-accredited general education classes, so there are many people (myself included) who come to get their general education credits and soak in the incredible atmosphere before moving on to other academic pursuits. A few of the gen ed classes have not felt worthwhile, but my experiences in classes within the Music and Ministerial divisions in particular have been terrific. GBSC's opportunities for ministry are absolutely phenomenal. GBSC focuses on spiritual development and it accomplishes this purpose. All in all, a great place.... Read 28 reviews
