On average, the class sizes are about the size of a high school class (20-30 students), which means each student has a better opportunity to talk to their professor. I am someone who really likes science, so I really enjoy how the science labs have less than 20 people, and often involve field work that helps me learn the material in a hands-on way!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Carroll University is a very nice school with a lovely campus, but if you're a social butterfly, it can feel a little cramped. It only have 3,000 students and the school is surrounded by houses, so you can feel kind of isolated. In reality it's only like a 1/2 mile from downtown, and the main chunk of Waukesha - plus, it;s right outside of Milwauke- but it seems like alot farther from the action when you're on foot!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Carroll is a VERY expensive school for most people. I would say that incoming students should definitely check out the scholarships offered at Carroll, along with anywhere else they can find them! Even if you only get the ones offered by the university, it can REALLY make a difference in price!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Scholarships, scholarships, scholarships! They are your friends! Apply to as many as you can (and still do a good job on them)! I would also say you should visit plan a visit to the campus rather than just show up because your tour guide is always a current student, so they have first hand knowledge about the place.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who are a little more mellow, laid back, and into their studies. However, I wouldn;t advise shy people to choose Carroll because you do need to put yourself out there a bit to meet people (but that's kind of ALWAYS needed to make friends!) If you're a party animal it probably isn;t the school for you!
