My first semester at Stevenson University has met my expectations. The University is known for its professional, career-oriented majors, academics, and professors. All professors are more than qualified to teach their given subjects and the faculty work tirelessly to ensure that the students are preparing for their career after college - starting in the first semester of the freshman year! I am confident that the education that I will receive at Stevenson University will be the best for me and prepare me greatly for my intended career.
Review Stevenson University
I love the community of Stevenson! You have to get involved to get the full experience. Just sitting in your room and staying to yourself won't get you much of a college experience. The food could be better but it is improving. A lot of good benefits like free student parking, monthly printing money, no community showers, small class sizes, etc. Definitely a place to consider. Professor in my major, psychology, seem like they truly care about your education and success. (Can't speak for other professors though) We are becoming more diverse. Football and basketball games aren't too fun but they give you something to do.
Love Stevenson University! I am a commuter and we are welcome to any events on campus. I live ten minutes from campus in an apartment with my sister. The professors are pretty good, although there are a few tougher ones I have had so far. Campus is wonderful, with three pretty close locations near each other. Lots of various majors to choose from. There are pretty small class sizes, which is beneficial if you want to have a relationship with your professor.
