Adrian College is balance of peace and excitement; privacy and community; and academics and athletics. A gorgeous campus houses an intelligent group of both students and faculty that go the extra distnce in everything they do. Becoming an AC Bulldog means being open and willing to push yourself and others to heights you've never met before, even if you don't realize you're doing it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't over-think! Private colleges seem like they are a lot more complex than other colleges or universities, but they really aren't. Aim to embrace community life and you will thrive. If you are a party-goer, looking for greek life, an art or music major, or striving to become the next biggest face in media, Adrian has it all. Do not apply here if you aren't intending to work for your degree. Adrian only accepts the best!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Adrian accepts only the best work from students, but professors also keep in mind the individual learning pace and style of each student. Each class, no matter how seemingly insignificant, challenges the student to think outside the box and draw on experiences from the world around them.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The Freshmen Quad holds four halls (female, male, or co-ed), upper-classmen have slightly nicer-looking halls (also male, female, or co-ed), and apartments for 1-4 students. Some rooms are on the smaller side, but not too small. The apartments contain kitchen, living room, bathroom(s), and individual bedrooms. (Dormitories have community bathrooms on each floor.)
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Great variety on campus with Quiznos and student grill in the Student Center, or a home-style meal at Ritchie Marketplace. Students use their IDs and meal plans to purchase meals. Dining Dollars/Bulldog Bucks can be bought through the school to use at select restaurants nearby. The number of meals and Dining Dollars you get is dependent on the meal plan you choose at the beginning of the semester, which can range from a set number of meals per semester or a set of meals per week.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Adrian, though it may seem small, has many shops, restaurants, and activities for students and even family to enjoy. On campus, there are many school-wide events and even an ice arena which often hosts public skating every week. MJR Cinemas has a rather large theatre complex that offers students discounts. I'm still discovering more surprises everytime I'm drive through town!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The private campus, food, classes, and overall quality of Adrian College is well worth every cent. The college is constantly trying to better itself internally and externally for the well-being of the students. Sometimes, this school may seem a little pricey, but we all realize how much space, resources, creative freedoms and comforts, and extensively knowledgable teachers we students are given in return.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
It is hard to find a day that there is not SOMETHING going on at Adrian. My favorite activities, however, are during exam weeks where the college hosts Pancakes Under the Stars and other stress-relieving activities open to all students.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Adrian College is perfect for students who enjoy doing a little extra digging in their research. The multitude of accessible databases in the library is impressive and highly useful. Students can easily reference credible and extensive sources in all their work. This college isn't really for the lazy student, though everyone enjoys sprawling about the campus on the sunny Michigan days.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Adrian has clubs for nearly every sport, including equestrian, synchronized figure skating, hockey, broomball, football, and soccer among many others. It also has clubs for art majors, music studies, and other categories.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Adrian hosts a variety of fraternities and sororities, including national fraternities (Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Theta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon), national sororities (Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, and Alpha Sigma Alpha), as well as a local sorority (Delta Nu Kappa). Around 20% of the student body is Greek!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Safety is on constant patrol! Whether it's parking, to campus events, to housing services, Safety can and will take care of it as quickly as possible. From experience, I know that safety will go the extra mile to help sick students as well with check-ups and mobility. They also offer a Campus Caravan service for legal students who plan to drink off campus to prevent drunk driving and a safe return back to their housing.
