Review of Bowling Green State University-Main Campus
from Hilliard, OH
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the professors are great and there are a ton of classes to choose from. (remember, this is college, meaning you will get out of it what you put into it.) i would highly recommend taking some random classes just because they sound interesting even if they don't pertain to your major; it all adds to the experience. there will always be professors you don't really agree with, but overall, they are very knowledgeable and work hard to help you understand the material if you put the effort into it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I LOVE it! I have made so many good friends and there is always something to do. There's a lot of diversity in interests among both students and professors. People have the idea that it's a party school, but there are definitely other things to do if you don't want to party. If you want to party, you will find them, if you don't, you can avoid them for the most part.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
one of the cheapest universities in the area, and i still think i'm getting the full college experience. like most things, you get out of it what you put into it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
this is college, the professors aren't going to baby you, you have to do the work. also, you might not always agree with everything your peers and/or professors say or think, but it's good to keep an open mind. as far as housing goes, you don't need to live in the new, fancy dorms; harshman and kriecher might be a little farther from most things on campus, but they are awesome!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
coming from a small private school, it's a really good size for me. it's big enough that i can surround myself with a ton of different kinds of people, but it's not so big that it's overwhelming.
