The profs are very helpful, and the classes are really challenging and make me think.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The community is great. I got to know the girls on my floor and the guys on my brother floor really fast. It's fun living in the dorms because there's always something going on and people to go out with. It's fun to hang out on campus, too.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Calvin is pretty expensive, but financial aid helps a lot, and it really is a great campus with great profs and facilities and it's worth the money.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't put off homework assignments for social time. Also, try to do as much homework as you can -- especially in classes that you're struggling in. Don't be afraid to go to your prof and ask questions. Every prof I've had so far has been more than willing to help out. Going to ask questions during their office hours also shows the prof that you want to do well in the class and that you care about the class subject.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hardworkers will thrive at Calvin. If you want to sit on your butt for four years... pick a different school.
