Review of Bowling Green State University-Main Campus
from Ravenna, OH
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
Although I do not believe that college is quite as hard and scary as high school teachers make it out to be, you do need to apply yourself if you want to learn. I make sure that I always keep up on the reading and study the material learned from time to time before it comes time for the test, and because of this I feel as if I am learning a lot and really taking advantage of the college experience.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I fell in love with BGSU upon my first visit, but when the time came close to actually come here, I began to get cold feet. My mind was racing with questions and I wondered if I made my decision too quickly and thought I was going to be miserable for the next four years. My first day here changed that completely and my mind was at ease. From the first time you step on the campus, all of the current students and faculty are more than happy to help you with whatever you may need. The entire first weekend was filled with different activities to get you involved with activites on campus and also gave you many opportunites to make new friends!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Compared to other colleges and universities that I looked into, BGSU is in the middle price wise. Anywhere you choose to go is going to be expensive, but I really do believe I am getting my money's worth here! The campus staff truly wants you to succeed and in order to ensure that you do, there are always informative sessions going on about job opportunities on campus and off, internships, clubs, activites, volunteering, etc. The list is really endless!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My best advice for future students is to make sure that you love the college you pick. Like I said, I fell in love with BGSU right away. There was nothing about it I did not like and because of that, I know I chose the right college. If you are unsure about certain aspects of the college, ask students, not administrators. The current students will tell you what they really think of the university instead of an administrator trying to sell you the college!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
BGSU is great for a student that wants a real college experience. It is the complete opposite of high school because the campus population is so big and because of this, the opportunities for you to grow as a person are endless!
