Describe your college in three sentences.

Clarke University is a great school for students who want a small school feeling. It is a very community based college so all the students, faculty members, and professors get involved with each other. It is also a school based on the students needs, where everyone cares about everyone.

Food and dining is amazing here. There is both a cafeteria, with fresh made food, and there is also the Crusader Cafe. At the cafe they have fast food, salad bar, fruits and vegetables, and a mini grocery store. It is a great way to get food if you need to get going quickly.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?
