It’s a small town college, most accredited for its medical, and business degrees. Short walks to class, with a very friendly environment. Professors care about their students well being(for the most part). And affordable for associates degrees and certificate programs!

At Rio Grande, the majority of professors are very good at their job and are always willing to help when needed. When scheduling classes, student advisors are great with scheduling around your athletic schedule or work schedule. The environment on campus is a very friendly one and easy to make new friends. If you are looking for a good education from a smaller school, take a look at Rio Grande.
The University of Rio Grande is a community college for a student who is attending for an associates degree. It is a community college the first two years, then a private college for someone who is getting a bachelors degree or higher. This school is a small town school surrounded by farms and beautiful nature. It is a very easy-going school that is very laid back. It is know for its wonderful teaching program. Overall, this school is a good school to attend. The downfall is that when you attend the private university the semester rates increase tremendously, however plenty of scholarships will help save you money.
