The University of Findlay is a great school for academics. Professors and everyone else who works on campus are always willing to help with anything. The only problem I have with the university is the tuition cost. Except for tuition, everything else is great!
I have been a student at the University for just one year right now. There are some professors that are very passionate about what they are teaching and are always willing to help students with any sort of academic questions they have. I have also had a very good experience with my advisor. She has done a very good job at helping me schedule classes around my practice schedule and understands that being a student-athlete takes up a lot of time. However, I wish the university did hire some more passionate instructors for basic 100/101 classes that everyone has to take. I found myself very disengaged taking digital literacy and would have paid attention more if my professor wasn't so boring.
