this school is full of students who motivate you, professors who challenge you, and experiences that inspire you. the christian values of the school are evident, but in a good way and not forced on anyone. there is such a friendly atmosphere created that everyone feels at home, and there is something on this campus for everyone.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
embrace everything there is to offer at this school. there are countless groups and clubs that would love for you to be a part of their group, as well as so many volunteer and work opportunities to build your resume and experience. don't worry about finding a major that's perfect for you right away; most students here take a while to figure it out and explore everything there is to offer.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
although my academic rigor rating is high, it's not because there is an excessive amount of essays or homework. it is because the professors here are always challenging you to push past your boundaries and think deeply about the topics.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
the atmosphere created in the dorms is so friendly and comforting that everyone feels as home. the ras here do a great job of being involved and making the residents feel secure, and almost all the residents become friends with those they live near.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food here is incredible. on the st. ben's side, there is a mongolian grill along with home-style, grill, and an ethnic foods station. on the st. john's side there is also grill and home-style, as well as deli and world stations.the food is always prepared fresh and there is a lot of variety, and the seating is very comfortable with booths and high tables like in a nice restaurant.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
there is a pub on campus where there is at least one concert every weekend, and it's separated so those who want to drink are upstairs. on the other campus there is a coffee house turned nightclub where there is live music and comfy seating. there are constantly shows being put on my school like comedians, magicians, or events, and we are only ten minutes away from all the places available in st. cloud.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
this college is on the expensive side, i know. but i doubt you can find a place more welcoming and fun with the opportunities you'll get out of this school. the kind of people that come here are all very enthusiastic and the amount you learn just in a day is amazing.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
we don't really have a mascot for either college. instead, we have the rat pack, a group of guys that dress in crazy outfits of our school colors, paint their faces, and put on random shows throughout the campus before a big game. they lead the cheers in the student section, and pass out random things like pizza or popcorn to the fans.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
students who like a close relationship with the professors because of small class sizes will love classes here. those who like to be challenged by their work but not to a ridiculous point will thrive at this school. also, those who like to be involved in clubs, volunteering, or events on campus will have so many choices here. and since everyone here is very involved, they will meet a ton of new people.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
if you can think of a club, we probably have it here. there is a ridiculous amount of clubs available for every possible interest. there are clubs about culture, dancing, hobbies, or just discussion groups. every club is always excited to get new members and usually has a chance to show off what they've done throughout the year.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are two service sororities/fraternities on campus. one is the sorority alpha kappa sigma and the other is a co-ed fraternity delta phi theta. both put on a lot of events and fundraisers throughout the year and are great groups to be a part of.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
the security office at st. ben's is in the freshman halls, and there are always security vehicles driving around late at night. once it gets to be about 7pm on weekends, there is always a security officer riding the bus with students. at st. john's the life safety officers are good at making everyone feel safe and checking on the campus regularly.
