Aquinas College

The teachers here are really focused on helping students learn and are always open to discuss any problems you have. Also, the classes are stimulating and very interesting. Classes are small and everyone knows each other in the class and this helps people be able to talk during class and actually encourages learning.

I love having the opportunity to learn about subjects in a whole new angle. Classes are a challenge but they challenge you so that you may become an overall well-rounded individual.

At Aquinas I am a student in the nursing program. This is an amazing program to be a part of. The nursing program at Aquinas is through the University of Detroit Mercy. Not only do we get to learn about things that are directly related to this field of study in class we get to see things hands on. The professor at Aquinas are extremely helpful they go above and beyond their call of duty to help their students become successful. The smaller class sizes allows for the professors to work with us on an individual level and allows for a relationship to be established, making it easier to get involved in class lectures.

Aquinas has broadened my perspective on the world. The professors are great, yet challenging. Each professor has their own way of educating, but they all make sure you're understanding the material and are always available for help and questions. They never underestimate you or make you feel as if you cannot achieve your goal. I have never once felt stupid asking a professor a question. All the encouragement has provided me a stable learning environment where I can believe in myself. Also, the classes only have about 30 or less people in them. That allows for quality time with your professors. They really get to know you and understand you if you have any problems. This made the transition from high shcool to college a lot easier for me. I have certainly learned a lot here at Aquinas.

The professors here are amazing. Because of the smaller class sizes, they actually learn your names and can interact with you and help you with whatever you need! I would feel SO lost in the crowd if I went to a larger school that classes the size of auditoriums. I have the opportunity to speak my mind and ask the questions that I need to.

The professors are amazing and care, but the student life is a little dead, the administration is too controlling, and there is nothing going on for the weekends. They need visitor parking and better housing opportunities.

Aquinas college is very small. However this provides a close community. It has great teachers.

Centrally located between East Grand Rapids, East town, and Ottawa Hills lies the campus of Aquinas College. Rooted in Catholicism (Dominican), Aquinas College offers the traditional liberal arts approach towards higher education. With graduating classes smaller than most modern day high school graduating classes, its appeal is obvious to the student who enjoys the best parts of an urban social environment combined with a private school feel.

I absoutely love Aquinas College! It is a small school and you get the feeling of a close-knit family on campus here. All of the teachers that I have had have been great- they really care about their students!

Aquinas offers a great learning environment on its campus; just outside the city of Grand Rapids, this enclosed, wooded area is simply beautiful. The professors are here to help and show great enthusiasm while teaching. Even though it is a smaller college, there are always fun activities being planned, such as concerts, sporting events, and speakers.
