Carroll University is a safe small community where everyone is welcomed and fits in. With challenging academic rigor, helpful readily available resources, and small class sizes you will excel and accumulate knowledge and skill sets that you didn't even know was possible. There are always activities and campus events at Carroll University, never a dull moment.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Incoming freshman, transfer students, and even currently enrolled students want tips and tricks for Carroll University. For prospective incoming freshmen, make sure that if you're even thinking about pre-physical therapy, apply for direct admit. You will receive a bachelor's and doctorate in six years and this opportunity is only available to incoming freshman. Make sure to buy books online because although Carroll offers package deals, usually they can be found cheaper on Amazon or Chegg. Also, if a course says the book is optional, don't waste your money, it won't be a good investment for you. If you are worried about printing, no need for a printer. Carroll University has computer labs with printers dispersed around campus; with $30 allotted to each student and only five cents a sheet, you could print out power point lectures three times a week (I know because I do it!). Finally, when it comes to meal plans, always get the lowest one because meals do not roll over at semester but more meal swipes can always be added if you run out.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
With all doctorate professors, Carroll University's academic rigor challenges your mind and knowledge in every way possible. To up the ante, not only do you enroll in courses for your major, but general education credits (GE1) in humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts, philosophy, and history are required throughout your four years. To push you even further, a 200 level course must be taken in any of those categories excluding your major (GE2). Luckily, there is a wide variety of courses in each subject that you can pick advantageously so you will excel. Carroll University takes pride in the fact that all students can receive their bachelor's degree within four years or less; they make sure you are well-rounded in all fields and learned in your major. Want to know what the courses are like? Professors push their students out of the regurgitating information phase to the critical analysis level. All professors integrate multiple styles of learning such as visual, conceptual, and problem solving. They take different approaches for exams including: multiple choice, short answer, essay, and diagrams. Pop quizzes or misleading information on exams or quizzes will never occur in Carroll's classrooms. Everything in lecture is what students will be tested on. Another perk at Carroll is the small class sizes that average at 23 students, labs at 13, and lectures that never exceed 90 students. Professors learn all their studentsâ?? names and personal things about them; you're a name, not a number. Freshman year first exam on a Friday, I was terribly ill and came into class looking like I had just been hit by a truck, in fact, that was the exact phrase my professor used. He told me to go back to my dorm and sleep and come in on Monday and take the exam then. Your professors care and can write you one heck of a letter of recommendation someday as well!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Carroll offers multiple styles of dorms such as traditional, suite, a mix, or apartment. In traditional dorms on every floor there are: bathrooms, laundry units, kitchens, and study or social lounges. No microwaves or open coils allowed, but mini fridges are welcome. A key is required to lock/unlock dorm room door. North and South Bergstrom are lively interactive dorm halls. They are tremendously social and a perfect way to meet friends. Freshmen typically reside in The Bergs and they are located half a block (2 min walk) from the main campus. Steele and Swarthout are on the milder side of social aspects. Itâ??s a relaxed and calm dorm setting due to the fact that both sophomores and freshmen reside here; this hall is right on the main campus. Kilgour is the all-female dorm known for its chatty social aspects and close proximity to main campus. The mix dorm (half traditional half suite) has laundry on the 1st floor, a kitchenette on the 2nd and 3rd floors, a study or social lounge on every floor, and allows microwaves and mini fridges, but still bands open coils. New Hall is directly connected, through an underground tunnel, to the campus center. It is gender by suite, co-ed on every floor, two roommates share a bathroom with two suitemates (four to a bathroom), and a key is required for dorm room. Generally, sophomores and juniors preoccupy this dorm, but 1st floor is reserved for incoming freshmen and transfer students. Suite style dorms Frontier, Pioneer, and Prairie have a social or study lounge on each floor, kitchens with stoves, hold anywhere from 2-5 roommates all receiving their own bedroom and sharing: two bathrooms, a kitchen (fridge, microwave, sink, cupboard space and drawers), breakfast bar, and living room. Also included is a pantry, closet, and window seat. These dorms are located a block and a half from main campus (5-7 min walk). The suite styles are not social due to the fact that doors are locked automatically when closed (swipe ID used to en...
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Meal plans are located on ID swipe card and are worth $6, but do not roll over each semester or year. There are two types of meal plans, commuter which is up to 90 meal swipes or regular which ranges 140-220 meal swipes. Dining dollars is another feature on ID swipe. It is money that is used to pay for food items (anything from coffee shop to soda and fries) that aren't worth as much as a meal swipe and they DO roll over at each semester and year; commuters are allotted up to $225 and regular plans up to $550. The main dining room (MDR) is located on the main campus center and offers: all you can eat buffet, baker's crust (similar to subway), pizzeria, salad bar, hot bars, breakfast corner, drink station, and dessert bar. In the lower level of the campus center, the pioneer indoor terrace (PIT) is home to Coyote Jacks (burgers, wraps, fries, etc.), Red Mango (smoothies and frozen yogurt), 2 Mato (pizza, calzones, pasta, etc.), and refrigerators (soda, water, chips, candy, etc.). All of the places will sell items as a meal swipe or separately with dining dollars. Au Bon Pain, which is similar to a Panera, is located underneath Frontier Hall. Sandwiches (turkey, tuna, vegan, etc.), soups (chicken noodle, tomato basil, 12 veggie, mac and cheese, etc.), salad (Caesar, garden, southwester, etc.), and pastries are sold in either a meal swipe or separately with dining dollars. Verde! is a small shop located outside MDR that sells snacks, bottled drinks, and coffee. Dining dollars are used to purchase any of those items. At Second Cup, a coffee shop that beat out Starbucks in a taste testing contest located in the Carroll library, is a social study area where coffee, chai tea, bottled drinks, and food can be purchased with dining dollars or cash.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On such a small campus you might think that Carroll is uneventful, but that is where you would be sorely mistaken! The Carroll Pioneer football team courses blue and orange through its students' veins. Before the game, tailgating, games, and festivities engulf around Schneider Stadium. You will witness the most blue and orange you will see in your entire life, even more than the Chicago Bears which coincidentally bought their official NFL logo C from Carroll University in the 1930's. Intramurals are a big deal at Carroll and are quite the experience. With competitive student chosen teams, intramurals host co-ed: indoor soccer, basketball (men's only as well), flag football, dodgeball, bags, and volleyball. My soccer intramural team happened to come in 3rd place this semester, two places off from winning team champion t-shirts! Student activities hosts CU @ Night which occurs every weekend at Carroll. The events include: tie dying t-shirts, decorating coffee mugs/ornaments, movies (We're The Millers, Fault in Our Stars, etc.), spa nights, bubble soccer, wipeout, headphone disco, homecoming, spring fling, and bingo. Bingo, which is NOT just for the elderly, gives away flat screen TVs, gaming systems, Summerfest tickets, go pros, cash, and other jaw-dropping prizes!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Your buck is stretched three ways, which is sort of difficult considering deer only have two antlers! Academic wise, yes. Carroll professors teach information relevant to the course and for your major that will be on standardized exams that you might take for graduate school or the field you will be going into. The professors establish personal and caring relationships with their students. They also always have their office doors open to answer any and all questions thoroughly and one on one. Plus as mentioned before, the small class sizes (student to professor ratio 18:1) and the fact there are no TA's is an added bonus! Tutoring and supplemental instruction (study groups led by upperclassmen who have completed and did exceptional in the course) are free to utilize by students. When it comes to housing, although the living corridors are spacious and nice, especially the suite style dorms, they are expensive. It is also required that students must live in campus housing through their junior year which can be a downside. Although dining dollars are an extremely useful thing to have, it is annoying that meal swipes do not roll over and are not refundable. I have the lowest meal plan, 140 swipes, and at the end of every semester I have anywhere from 13-30 meal swipes left over and just purchase cases, and I mean CASES, of drinks with leftover meal swipe money and it would be nice if the money was just refunded to pay for tuition.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Carroll University was the first college built in Wisconsin founded by Charles Carroll, an original signer of the Declaration of Independence, in 1846. The campus has a few mysterious locations such as the secret trail that runs from the football field all the way across to the opposite side of campus, the Hartwell Apartments (I found it when I went for a jog!). Main hall has wood from the old building that burnt down built into its walls. There are also many stairwells that provide access to every floor. Maxon Hall's roof can be accessed through a utility closet. Even at good ole Carroll, there are some odd traditions. In MDR there are trays provided, but no one ever uses them. Carroll has a grandmother named Gert who has been here for 50 years (we celebrated with cake at the homecoming football game) and always welcomes prospective students with a huge smile, compliments you, and wishes you a good day. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner are a big deal at Carroll. Head chef Moe prepares enormous turkeys and hams, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casseroles, buns and rolls, pies, cheesecake, and cupcakes. Be prepared to start lining up around 3pm because MDR will be absolutely PACKED by dinner time! Many students hail from Illinois and Minnesota so expect to take part in rowdy rivalries when the Packers play the Bears or Vikings (being a born and raised diehard cheesehead combined with the Packers always destroying, bragging rights are a given). Being that Carroll resides in the frozen tundra, hockey games are huge. The Chicago Blackhawks are watched in the lounges on the flat screens. The day of and/or following day, students will be sporting their Blackhawks jerseys (I know I sport Hossa the day after a win!). My friend family also supports the San Jose Sharks because his brother is now the new signed goal tender, congratulations Troy Grosenick!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students particularly interested in the sciences: nursing, pre-med, chemistry, physics, physical therapy, exercise sciences, athletic training, etc. will benefit greatly due to the outstanding programs that Carroll offers academically and experience wise. Any student who is athletic or just digs sports, especially football and soccer, will fit right in. Since Carroll is a liberal arts college, artistically inclined students will benefit from our arts program as well. This is a perfect University for the loudest and most shy students because it is a family. Carroll University is its own community and tightly knit family. Any students who are looking for a party scene, Carroll is NOT the place for you. It is quiet and alcohol free in the majority of the dorms.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Organizations on campus bring awareness to each clubs' mission statements. Community service and volunteer work are required for all orgs and its members. The academic clubs include: biology (Tri-Beta), chemistry, education, pre-physical therapy, psychology, public health, pre-health professionals, sports medicine, and nursing. Diversity orgs include: veteran's org, cultural knowledge org, women's equality, Latin American, queers & allies questions & answers org. Student senate and Carroll University Republicans make up the government organizations. The special interest clubs include: anime, curling, fishing, dance, Harry Potter, outdoor adventure, campus activity board, and paranormal club. A great opportunity for students, especially education and public health majors, is the service/advocacy clubs that include: best buddies, animal welfare, colleges against cancer, habitat for humanity, social justice league, global medical brigades, and big brother big sisters. The magazine, radio, and photography clubs make up the media for campus. Finally, the religious spiritual clubs include: Carroll Catholic Community and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. There are over 60 clubs on campus, if you don't see one that is quite right for you, all you need is 20 students and a professor to legitimatize a club created by you!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Carroll is home to three sororities: Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, and Chi Omega; along with two fraternities: Delta Rho Upsilon and Pi Lambda Phi. Our Greek life has been established proudly for over 100 years. The benefits include high rankings in academics due to study tables with brothers or sisters, networking with alumni, brotherhood and sisterhood lifelong bonds, campus involvement (awareness and activities), career development for resumes, leadership roles on the board, and community service every semester. Although I am not a part of Greek life, many of my personal friends are and they love it as well as reap a majority, if not all, of those benefits.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Safety patrols our campus and surrounding areas 24/7. Shuttle rides are available to students to anywhere on campus and up to a mile off campus 24/7 as well. Our officers ensure the safety of campus and its students, responds to calls of service, preforms lock ups and unlocks of buildings, act as first responders for emergency situations, and enforces the University's policies. Public safety (the name of Carroll's campus safety) also handles parking permits. Students can park behind their buildings, in underground garage parking underneath the suite style dorms, or in overflow. However, freshmen are not allowed a car on campus. Considering Carroll is so small, it takes no more than 10 minutes to walk to any point of the campus. The shuttle service also does target runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays so students, especially Freshmen, can purchase any items they need (near target there is also a grocery store, TJ Maxx, Famous Footwear, Petco, Charming Charlies, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Ulta, Subway, Chiliâ??s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and more.
