1 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
College Senior: This school is great. I applied and was accepted and just completed my orientation with Rochester College. I love the class size, campus, accessibility and great staff. The class sizes are very small in comparison to universities and other colleges. These small class sizes are fantastic in that students have the ability to have more one on one time with professors to go over difficult concepts. This aspect I feel is essential to success in the classroom.

In addition to this, the campus both the main campus and the satellite campuses are stunning. Rochester College's main campus is beautiful. There are brand new dormitories made of beautiful brick, perfectly maintained landscaping, and attractive architectural buildings all over the campus. Not only this but they are expanding and building an athletic center which only add to the many awesome buildings there. The satellite campuses are equally beautiful. The campus I will be attending is located on Macomb Community College's campus (where I graduated Most Distinguished Graduate). The University Center where the satellite campus is located is a beautiful building surrounded in part by the serene nature trail and forest. It is so relaxing after a hard day in the classroom to be able to walk outside take a deep breath and take in the beautiful surroundings.

This last aspect, the satellite campuses, are more reasons why I love Rochester College. These campuses make getting a degree from Rochester College much more accessible and attainable. For example, if I had to travel to Rochester College's main campus for the entirety of my time at this school I would not be able to do it. This is because it is just too far of a drive to commute and paying for room and board is not an option as I could not afford it. With the satellite campus I am able to avoid that huge cost as I am able to commute to school. The satellite campuses make earning this degree much more accessible for students like me.

2 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
College Freshman: It's wonderful at Grace Bible. Everyone here becomes your family and is very caring. For example, I recently lost my Grandfather and by the end of that day numerous people came to my side to check on me and comfort me. Grace gives us multiple opportunities to do different activities such as the Detroit Tigers and Pistons games and many more. I couldn't be more thankful for the experiences and friends Grace has blessed me with. I honestly am not looking forward for school to end because I will miss everyone here!

3 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
College Freshman: Overall, the classes are all great. The professors are all kind and Christ-centered. They all model godly living and push us to do the same through interactions in the classroom setting. They are knowledgeable in both their professional subject areas and knowledge of the bible and Christian faith. It would be nice if more courses were offered during more times. It can be hard to schedule them all at convenient times. Class sizes are great! I love that they are fairly small and allow for more individualized learning and relationship building.

5 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
College Sophomore: I enjoy being apart of the campus life and having a school family. I went through so much during fall 2014 semester. I went to three funerals in three weeks during finals in December. The first funeral was my god-brother, who was shoot and killed at gunpoint in the back of the head. He was only twenty-one years old. Then, my god-uncle past away naturally, but suddenly. He saw his family one last time before passing in the living room of his home. He gave the best advice and had the most in depth conversation a great mind could imagine. Lastly, my fellow classmate that I would see everyday in English class, or during work study in the science department was killed in a car accident. After we had finished finals for that week in December, he was going to a party to celebrate. The car rolled over on his side splitting his skull. The whole English class and Marygrove student body was devastated. Through all the darkness that was surrounding my life, Marygrove was there. They supported me when I thought all was lost and wanted to give up completely. My academic advisor Dr. Page, my success coach Diane Clark, and many more helped me when I thought I was helpless. I was able to pass that semester with all B's. I will never forget that kind of support because it was so personal. They took the time out to go the extra mile, beyond caring. I am proud to be a Marygrove Mustang. Go green and gold!!!!!!!!!

Freshman: I started at HFC for the first time this Fall semester and so far, I love the school! All of my professors are wonderful and I have yet to have any bad expiriences with any students. The only thing that I can say is not that great is the way students drive around and to campus, but that is of no fault of the school itself. It's hard for me to really judge the school since I've only been attending for a few months, but as far as I can see, it is overall a great community college.

7 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Senior: I love this school even though it can kind of be awful. The resources are fantastic, the technology, the wood shop, metal shop, foundry, ceramic studio, glass shop, just so many great things! It is a very challenging institution, particularly during the freshman year. It is a small school, so it is easy to form a bond with a lot of the students, especially since the students tend to be quite like-minded. The school can kind of stink depending on what major the student chooses. It is a great design school, fantastic for product designers, but the majors that are not so design based kind of get the short end of the stick. I have lived in the student housing for 4 years. They are improving it and renovating it, but unfortunately I have had to live in the construction. The campus is safe, the professors are great (usually), and it is a very inspiring place to be.

Freshman: The overall environment of this school is very good. I personally love how small it is, and how you can really get to know your professors, and other faculty on campus. But there are some professors that don't work well with people and their medical problems. Overall though, it is a great university.

9 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Alum: I spent more than 7 years here as an undergraduate and then a graduate student, and badly miss MTU, the area, the people, and the love and attention given to education and research. If you are looking to major in psychology or accounting you are best going elsewhere, but there is nowhere better to become an engineer. You will learn from the best; you will be worked hard; you meet, struggle alongside, and drink beer with great people; and you will become the better technical professional for it. 100% job placement for classmates in my undergraduate degree program speaks for itself, and I signed a letter of employment about 4 months before finishing my PhD. Go Huskies!

10 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: Northwood University is a private, not-for-profit business school. My time here has served me well as I have learned from a multitude of things from not only school, but life itself. I chose this school because of one man by the name of Dr. Preston James IV, former head of the Entertainment, Sports, and Promotions Management program. His view on how the class should be talk was like none other, basically putting aside the textbook and bringing on real experience for us colleagues to obtain knowledge. I envied that. However, it was a sad day for us students when he told us he was transferring to another university down south. Student life is a bit different since our size is relatively small. Sporting events are never sell out crowds or hype games. Student life has many opportunities for students to join clubs and I have been able to do so as well. Things could be better, but I've enjoyed my time here.

Sophomore: I am a sophomore at Aquinas College and I absolutely love it. The campus is beautiful and feels like home as you wonder through it. The classes are small so can ask many questions and have the opportunity to become close with your teachers and peers. There is also always help for anything you need. From tutoring, to help writing a paper, to career counseling, if you have questions there is always an answer. I could not imagine a better college to call home than Aquinas. Go Saints!

13 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Freshman: I've attended Calvin for a semester now and appreciate the challenge in the classroom and unity across campus. The academic workload is challenging and requires many hours to complete all assignments and study, however, the content we are expected to learn expands our worldview, as it is a Liberal Arts college.
The professors are engaging and show that they want their students to succeed by making themselves available and approachable in and out of the classroom.
Student life is very unity-orientated. In the dorms, at sporting events, and other special events Calvin puts on, I have never felt a great divide between different groups of students. Everyone is accepting, encouraging, and helpful.

The classes I have taken were wonderful because due to the small, private college size you are able to connect with your professors and they assist you in any way you need. I love the small campus because I have not gotten lost once! They have a good tutoring program which has helped me greatly. I love Olivet College, and I am not just saying that. I really do!

17 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Senior: Out of all of the universities I applied to, I'm really glad I picked this one. The diversity of students is by far my favorite about this school. Each semester I met students from Brazil, Germany, China, ect.The class sizes are around 30 students, but that's the max.The professors are great and know the subjects they teach very well.Since the university is so diverse, it lets you grow and understand how well the professors and students collaborate together to make sure the material being taught is understood by all 30 students.Because of my time here, I have also received an internship opportunity at only my 3rd semester! That's huge! Because at other universities, it's harder to find a job due to the larger amount of students. Since the University is top 10 universities of Michigan, there acceptance rate is around 56-58%, so still over half but only by a little. I think that's why so many students are able to land internship opportunities.

Freshman: I have only been to Andrews for a year so far and I absolutely love it here! I have not visited many other colleges before so I am not going to say that this is the best one, however I am going to say that it is a great school. The atmosphere is nice, the campus is beautiful, and there are many things to do on campus. The facilities are all very nice, modern, and clean, and there is almost always something to do on campus. I was actually faced with the opportunity to transfer to another school that would be closer to home, but I just couldn't bring myself to doing it because this school did not compare to Andrews.
Another thing about Andrews is that it is very diverse--that is one of the major things that I enjoy the most. I have many friends from the united states, Brazil, Rwanda, Kenya, China, Russia and many other people. This school is absolutely great!

This allows students to broaden their spectrum and become aware of other surroundings. Community service allows students to better the community and its also a good resume builder. Ferris State University has an amazing Honors Program that focuses on community service and culture. Ferris is an overall good school and I would recommend this school to anyone!

20 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Freshman: Oakland University is a great school! It's accepting of everyone and the teachers care for the education of the students. The campus is beautiful, and it offers many activities/events! Some things that could be better is the food in the Vandenburgh Hall and the cost of tuition (which continues to increase). I hope for the school to advise freshmen to bring their parents/guardians to meetings that are affiliated financial aid since they don't really know how to handle financial aid on their own. I hope for the school to build another parking structure for overnight parkers who live on campus near the dorms/apartment since the majority slots are for commuters. Overall, Oakland is a great school. If you're ever in need of help, it's available to you. From the 'Blue Lights' buttons which can contact OUPD to optional tutoring nights, you are never alone! At Oakland, I've created many memories and friends that I will never ever forget and I'm truly grateful for the experience.

The co-op experience has been by far the greatest thing that I've experienced. It lets me experience what I will do in the future with my degree once I graduate. Also with the co-op experience it allows me to manage my money, gain responsibilities living on my own, and gain responsibilities within the company I work for.

However, diversity seems to be shoved down your throat along with LGBTQ ideas. This is something that is introduced too quickly for students who never were exposed to this in high school. My professors are great and are easy to understand

Alum: My experience with NMU was wonderful overall. Marquette is a beautiful and safe place to live, with a great sense of community. If you love nature and the outdoors (and can handle cold & lots of snow!), this is a great place for you. Their education program is top-notch -- all of my professors were extremely knowledgeable and incredible mentors & teachers.

As far as campus, housing, and dorm life, some facilities are a little outdated. However, many have been updated or are in the works to be updated. The food on campus is alright, but there are quite a few options around so you can usually find something you enjoy! They were also extremely willing to work with food allergies, and now offer gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options.

24 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Senior: I am a non-traditional student and Davenport is perfect for me. The campus is the perfect size, there are two main buildings for classes which makes it easy to get from one class to the next. Most of the professors there are wonderful teachers and people. Davenport offers experiential learning which is one of my favorite things about their programs. The student life center is always offering fun things for the students to do like affordable trips to Tigers and Pistons games and day trips to Chicago. Davenport is private school and is a bit pricey but the school is smaller and the teacher to student ratio is not outrageous. I would change the requirement for rather expensive access to simulations for Word and Excel classes, it seems like that should be included in the tuition. Also, the Lettinga campus no longer offers Coke products. All in all, Davenport is a great school.

25 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
College Sophomore: I wish there was an it's good choice. The professors I've had have mostly been good to great, but some of the visiting and newer profs don't understand K's scheduling or work load. Most people have had good relationships with profs, and enjoy their classes. By sophomore year, when we have to declare majors, most people know what they want to do, and you start seeing them more regularly in your classes. Classes are small, so profs notice when you are missing, and they do try to reach out to you if you miss too many. But it's super easy to talk to professors, and form close relationships, and get invited to TA or do research. Man classes, in the humanities at least, are discussion based, weaved in with some lectures and movies. Service learning is a big thing here, and you may have to do some volunteer service for classes. There are a lot of cool classes, but they fill up fast, because of the small cap size.
