William Jewell College is a fantastic school. The academics are very challenging, even for a former high school valedictorian like me, but they are very rewarding. Jewell doesn't just offer a degree, it offers an education. The student life is also very involved in campus activities and organizations, so many opportunities are present to make friends and get to know more people on campus. The campus is small, but it feels bigger with the amount of people you are able to meet when you become involved. Overall, I am having a fantastic college experience here, and I am glad I chose to come to William Jewell College.
Overall, I think it is an OK college that is probably not worth the high tuition. I've heard it referred to as "The Harvard of the Midwest," but very few people outside of the general area has heard of this school. If you are one the fence of attending Jewell, I'd advise you to look elsewhere. There are plenty of cheaper options, and I'd hate for you to make an expensive mistake to attend for one or two years. If you are interested in jumping headfirst into Greek Life and paying student loans for years to come, then William Jewell is your place.
An education at William Jewell college gave me the ability to obtain a position in my desired field before graduation. The professors were some of the most capable, and intelligent teachers I've had. They always challenged students and never failed to be open to different view points. My education at Jewell gave me an extremely diverse perspective that I hadn't received before.
