    Since coming to Findlay I have met a lot of fantastic people. I've made really good friends, I consider school now more of home than when I go back to my parents. I definitely think if you are interested in pharmacy or animal related fields this is the school for you. Chemistry and Biology classes are hard, but they are mostly taught be phenomenal professors. The only major thing I'd like changed, is the dining hall to expand, but that's what happens when you go to a smaller school, not as many food options! But off-campus food options are abundant and mostly reasonably priced.

    When I went on my tour for Findlay, I was surprised about the tradition that Findlay has. My tour guide told me about the arch, that is in front of the college. The tradition is that incoming-freshmen will walk underneath it, and will be blessed with success as they go through Findlay's course. When you graduate, you will then walk through the arch, that you once walk under in the beginning, and will be blessed with success outside of Findlay. I really love that tradition, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I really love how spaciness the dorms are! It was so comfortable looking and feels like you are already home. The University is small and the walks to each building are incredibly enjoyable. They even have an art museum that children can submit their drawings and have a twirly slide. If you are looking forward to Findlay, I promise you that you would not be disappointed.
    The University of Findlay is an amazing school with a very nice eye-appealing look. The Admissions team is very nice and are there when you need them. UF is defiantly the most beautiful universities I have seen. There band is beyond excellent totally worth going to see! They have a bunch of opportunities and different things to consider. I defiantly fell in love UF and the academics. Their staff is amazing and defiantly helps you consider if the university is for you. I will always love Findlay and how the community supports each other. To say the least, the University of Findlay is a great school and is very safe for college students.
