Review of Alma College

from Laingsburg, MI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Small school with big opportunities, there is many academic and extracurricular activities on campus such as Greek life, Model UN, and over 50 different organizations to chose from. The faculty and staff are more than happy to answer questions and help whenever. Friendly, simple, and joyful are the best words to describe it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The price tag may seem high, but the quality of the education will be far better than a public university in regards to undergraduate programs. The faculty will challenge you and help you to become a better person on top of being a better student.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Challenging to the point where you love and live for it, the faculty want you to get better, but at the same time don't wish to burn you out. It's a happy medium.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Not the best dorms offered, but if you wish to join a fraternity or sorority the housing is very homely. They have re-done part of one of the dorms on campus.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Not the best around, it's what you would expect with a staff of 10 feeding over 1,00 kids. Joe's Place will usually offer a little bit better food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Many organizations such as Model UN, Entrepreneurs in Action, Ultimate Frisbee, etc.. Very good opportunities offered.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Great courses, great professors, great campus.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The school has a Scottish association to it so the marching band wears kilts instead of standard marching uniforms, you'll hear bagpipes coming out of the music building sometimes if you walk past it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Athletes wanting to play a college sport, medical or hard science majors. Good Business program.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Rated the top college by Cappex for organizations offered, and it does not disappoint.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

A plethora of Frats and Sororities for those who wish to go Greek.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Security is around whenever you need them, and the I.D.'s now include the campus security phone number in case you need to call at all.
