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 really like having small classes (<30 people) as there’s more participation and interaction with professors, your fellow students, and the material you are learning. It doesn’t make you feel like you are just one fish in the ocean of students. Teachers know who you are and some will try to even get to know you outside of the classroom. The campus is also small, which can be a pro or a con, but it is definitely a pro when you don’t want to walk far or take a bus to get to classes (especially in the winter)! Everything is <20 minute walk. Almost everywhere you go, you see someone you know. Taking classes outside of your major and minor (as any liberal arts college values) is super beneficial as it opens you up to new perspectives and broadens your understanding of society. However, a few things I would like to see changed is DePauw being more transparent with the students and making a space for students input. As well as creating a better connection the the Greencastle community.... Read 588 reviews

Senior: Hello! I’m Michaela Horvath and I’m in the Mechanical Engineering program at Grace College! I am a part time student as I am continuing my Mechanical Engineering Degree while working a full time job. I came back to finish my degree because it is important to me! While at Grace College I’ve met the best friends and professors there! I was a bit of a loner during high school but at Grace I was able to do some many activities and receiver opportunities that it was hard not to make friends! The professors are really nice as well, they will take time outside the typical 9-5 job to help you understand the problem or lesson you are struggling with! This place also made me closer to my faith when I was questioning it mostly during high school. To listen to how other interpret the Bible and what God is thinking while listening to other peoples stories was inspiring! I know that Grace college isn’t for everybody, but it’s the place for me.... Read 580 reviews

Freshman: Franklin has a beautiful small campus. I love to see the wild life running between the trees on Dame Mall every day. the buildings are not too far apart allowing for short walk times between classes, and lowering the risk of being late to class. I like the small school atmosphere allowing for a more personal relationship with professors and a more hands on approach to learning. The only thing I would like to see change is the dorms. Some of the buildings have only one washer and dryer and the rooms are too small and unaccommodating.... Read 489 reviews
