  1. Kettering University

    Senior: I thoroughly enjoyed the co-op program. It is great to be able to work full time while earning your degree, without work and school overlapping. I wish that tuition was lower, but the co-op program attempts to offset the high cost. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get a straight answer from financial aid or student accounts regarding your awards and payments. The university spends a lot of time, money, and energy on recruiting potential students; however, for currently enrolled students it is difficult to get support from the university in a number of things regarding student life (starting a new club/organization, hosting an event, etc.).

  5. Baker College of Owosso

    • 4 Year
    • Owosso, MI
    • 257

    Sophomore: Baker College of Owosso is an awesome school, in my opinion. The instructors are proficient in what they teach the students, and they are also very fair when grading assignments. The lowest grade I got was a D-, and that was because I failed to keep up with commenting on the discussion board every week for the entire 16 week semester. Obviously there's going to be some challenges you'll face as a student, but you'll have to be able to face them with confidence because failure isn't a great idea, it's an expensive one. However, what I have learned in all of the classes I have taken so far challenged me in a particular way but if you struggle, there's free help in the Math & Writing center within the Academic Resource Center.
    When it comes to campus life, there aren't that many people to befriend unless you go out of your way to stay in contact with them in the following semesters. Also, partying is frowned upon from what I've heard.

  6. Baker College Center for Graduate Studies

    • 4 Year
    • Flint, MI
    • 56

    Junior: Working full-time to support my family, I was left with very few options to obtain my bachelors degree. But, Baker College Center for Graduate Studies allows me to take 100% online classes, which allows me to do homework outside of work. The teachers are fantastic and really care about the students. Even through the classes are 100% online, the engagement between myself and other classmates, isn't lacking.
