#1 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Junior: As a new transfer student, I love it here! I used to attend Henry Ford and I just felt like there was too many students there and none of the faculty members actually focused on me. Here in Baker, its the opposite. I have faculty members who know me personally and who actually enjoy helping me rather than feeling obligated to assisting me. I am glad I transferred over to Baker College of Allen Park. There is plenty of resources and programs waiting for the students to use.

#2 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Freshman: I love Grace Christian University! The professors are determined to help us succeed in our academics and they help us with anything we need, even if it is not homework from their class. Grace does an amazing job for setting a loving and accepting Christian environment. The faculty/ staff is very helpful and willing to help us in every way they can. One of the many things I like about Grace is that everything they teach, even if it is not a theological class, is done through a Christian Worldview.

#4 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: As an upcoming Sophomore, I can say that I am thrilled to be returning to CU! I absolutely loved my first year. From dorm and campus life to sports events and classes to chapel and downtown Grand Rapids, I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of my time there. True, the cafeteria did not always have the best food and most dorms are up there in age, BUT our new science building is incredible and more importantly, our professors are devoted to our success as individuals, professionals, and Christians. I highly encourage anyone seeking a higher education to check out Cornerstone University!

#5 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: Alpena Community College is a great college to start your education. I was able to finish all my prerequisites for a low cost! The professors are amazing and able to work with students one on one. The community surrounding the area is very kind, lots to do and full of life. The class sizes are small and allow for the students and professors to make friendly personal connections. There are a lot of important utilities offered to the students here as well, such as a computer lab, library, dining commons, gym, workout room, and more!

Schoolcraft College
4 Year
Livonia, MI

#6 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: Schoolcraft College is a great community college! It is great for general credit classes and it also has an great nursing and culinary arts school. Most of the professors are very kind and want their students to learn. Occasionally, there are some professors who do not care about the students and make the class very hard and confusing. A student has to really make sure that the professor they are taking the class with is really invested in making the learning environment is fun and inclusive.
I wish that it was easier to get involved in the clubs at Schoolcraft. Most clubs are not advertised which makes it hard to know when they met and what their mission is.
Overall, Schoolcraft is a great school where students go to learn, get a degree, or some general education out of the way.

Baker College of Owosso

#7 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
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.

#8 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: While I think academics are on par with most other universities, there is considerable room for improvement. However, this isn't necessarily a hindrance to students because staff is so willing to drop what they're doing to help and encourage students.

#9 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Junior: Baker College of Muskegon has changed alot over the recent 2 years from 2017-2019. The overall vibe of Baker is average in most areas. Definitly not a party school. There are small events hosted now and then, but nothing crazy. Safety is very good, no crime around the immediate area. You are able to have a car up at campus for free, no parking fees or anything. The professors at Baker are excellent. They have good energy and all have seemed very dedicated to the educational aspects of their role in teaching students. There are also plenty of breaks rooms, a wonderful library with private study rooms and computers to do assignments on. Staff are fairly friendly and most are willing to help if needed.

#11 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
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.

Sophomore: I am in my second year at Henry Ford College with a major in Biology. Henry Ford has a very diverse student body which allows for the opportunity to create new friendships and connections. The classrooms are average with about 25 students per class. Through each of my classes, i have made new friendships and many are within my major and have a similar goal. I have had a pretty good experience with Henry Ford College so far, hopefully my last year continues to stay true!

Northwood University - Midland
4 Year
Midland, MI

#14 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Alum: I am an Alumni of Northwood University and after being out of school for awhile, I look back and realize how great my education and time was there. I have realized that the real world skills that I learned at Northwood have translated into real life. I utilize what I learned in business and finances every day and I'm not sure I would have got that elsewhere. I talk to a lot my friends about things I learned in school and they did not receive some of the same skill sets. I loved the stronger focus on my major from day one. If you are interested in business, Northwood is the place to go. The teachers were former business owners, accountants, etc. so they had real world experiences they could share and not just educators their whole live.

Its a smaller school which I prefer and the classes were not in auditoriums as I have heard from friends who went to bigger schools. You got to know your professors and they got to know you. Overall, i highly recommend Northwood!

Calvin College
4 Year
Grand Rapids, MI

#15 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: I just finished my first year at Calvin College and I love it there! However, it is facing low enrollment rates at the moment, which makes it difficult for the college to be able to grow (especially because they seem to be in a bit of a financial pickle at the moment). I love Calvin, but the administration seldom communicates with the students before they make executive decisions that directly impact the student body (such as cutting the Student Activities Organization that organizes concerts and on-campus movies throughout the semesters).

However, that being said, Calvin offers a wonderful Christ-centered community that makes an effort to discuss topics such as racism and discrimination with a mindset of loving everyone in God's Kingdom. The people and professors at Calvin are also pretty great (for the most part)--the students at Calvin are friendlier than students at any other college that I've visited.

#16 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Senior: I am from San Antonio, Texas, and I have never been to Michigan before. On a very last second decision, I decided to come to Lake Michigan College and start a new journey for my academic career. This is my 3rd year here and I am currently in the Radiologic Technologist program. Thanks to the amazing staff I am here because of them. When I say a last-minute decision, I mean only 2 weeks to apply and prepare to move up here. They were very helpful with the process of everything and rushed to make sure I was able to make it on time and not have to wait another semester to come here. The professors here are so great, I’ve never once had a problem with any of them and have enjoyed my classes very much. It’s beautiful here also and have lots of activities and stuff to do. Also 10 minutes from the lake is great also! Only complaint here is the snow and financial aid advisers, but other than that I love it here!

Baker College of Clinton Township

#17 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Graduate Student: Attending Baker College of Clinton Township was the best decision I have ever made. I graduated as a Certified Medical Assistant though the American Associates of Medical Assistants with a 3.97. This was all possible due to my program director and instructors. All of my instructors are a part of the association and have a background in the healthcare field. Many of them are still working within the hospitals. By having these instructors they were able to help me grow and become the best possible CMA that I could be because they had went through the same program that I had. Not only did they place me for my internship, but because of the extensive training they provided me, I was hired right after my internship ended. I hope to one day rerun and go back for my nursing license.

The SI that comes with certain classes is such a privilege that not most schools offer, especially for free! Madonna University strives to assist its students in being the best student that they can be in order to achieve their goals!

Sophomore: This place is great! At first, I was worried about going here instead of Ann Arbor when I was accepted to both campuses, but after a year, I can say that the University of Michigan - Dearborn has exceeded my expectations by far. The best things about the college are the professors and the social atmosphere, which is surprisingly good for a commuter school.

#20 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Sophomore: I have been at Oakland for a year now and I absolutely loved it. Oakland University’s staff makes our lives as stressed college students as easy as possible. They offer tons of easy access scholarships, an unbelievable amount of undergraduate opportunities for all majors and even free parking! The adjustment was so easy for me my freshman year. I moved into the honors college and almost immediately had friends that I can’t live without now. It has truly been a wonderful experience and I couldn’t have picked a better route for a future physicians assistant.

#21 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Freshman: The professors care about you and help you when you have questions! The campus is located near the city, but you feel like you are in your own village in the woods and don't realize the city is so close. The only downfall at the college is the food and the dorms. The wifi used to be an issue, but it is currently being updated and is a lot better. There are so many different things to do on campus and many things to do off campus. Grand Rapids is only a short walk away. Even though the campus isn't as big as some university's, you are always meeting new people and good friends. The sport teams at Aquinas are very good and a lot of fun to watch. While I have been at school there have been a lot of varsity teams that have made it to nationals. If you are looking to be a well rounded individual aquinas provides that for you because it is a Liberal arts 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!

#25 Safest College Campuses in Michigan
Senior: My experience at Detroit Mercy has been amazing. I got directly admitted to the traditional BSN program my senior year of high school and is on track to graduate next spring! Detroit Mercy helped me find my goals and dreams. Coming to this school, I found my priorities, my mentor and people to support me. I got accepted into a research program which allowed me to get my tuition paid for and a monthly stipend so I wouldn't have to work part-time and I can just focus solely on my school work. Because of the opportunities I have received at Detroit Mercy, I am pursuing a doctoral degree right after my graduation. I never once thought I could become a doctor in high school. I love my school and after my graduate from my doctorates I plan to become a professor to give back to the school and to teach future generations. All the professors are wonderful here. You get to know your professors and they get to know you.

The school often promotes diversity and inclusion, but they could work a little harder on the inclusion portion!
