  1. Kettering University

    • 4 Year
    • Flint, MI
    • 562 reviews

    Junior: The reputation of Kettering University precedes it. Whenever my college comes up in conversation, people are impressed with my dedication to an accelerated engineering college. In all honesty, they should be, it is difficult, but worth it. With the high level of academics in the STEM field and the hands-on work experience half of the year, it is a top-of-the-line educational experience!

    • 4 Year
    • Flint, MI
    • 893 reviews

    Senior: Absolutely love it! I hadn't been to school in over 13 years, and this is my first semester back. The faculty, staff and students have made me feel so welcomed and I really appreciate it! Also, I love the class sizes. It's not too many students so that you can get the attention you need during classes.

  3. Baker College

    • 4 Year
    • Flint, MI
    • 534 reviews

    Senior: Mostly great instructors. Little-to-no food choices and rather few student activities on-campus. If you are looking for a school to attend and wish to primarily focus on your degree then Baker College might be the right choice. If you are looking for a school with a lively college atmosphere then Baker College probably is not the right choice, particularly if you are looking for a “party school”. The instructors have been excellent, professional, and helpful, and are very knowledgeable about their subject areas and willing to work with students to help them succeed. The college’s focus on employable degrees means that more content covers realistic situations, rather than theoretical, and as such goes a long way to preparing students for future careers.

  4. Baker College of Owosso

    • 4 Year
    • Owosso, MI
    • 262 reviews

    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.

  5. Baker College Center for Graduate Studies

    • 4 Year
    • Flint, MI
    • 56 reviews

    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.
