Review of Converse University

from Orlando, FL

Did learn a lot

Academically, I was able to gain knowledge due to the small learning environment; I was never in a class of more than 20 students, my smallest being a class of four. This calls for a very intimate connection with your teachers and since they were so available outside of the classroom, there was almost unlimited access to one-on-one attention. Outside of the classroom, I was able to learn who I was as a person with the variety of programs available to every student.

Did enjoy being here

Going to an all-women's college takes a very special type of person, and I'm not sure if I was one of them. The community and atmosphere were phenominal, everyone knows everyone, and it made me feel very safe at all times.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

With what I paid to attend this college I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. I was availed to many amenities without any extra fees, and there were numerous events almost every day that I was able to attend such as movies, parties, concerts, comedians and acrobatic shows.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a very safe and well secured campus, with many activities available on and off campus. With the town being so small, Converse gives you many opportunities to get out and be involved in the community. All girls may sound intimidating to most people, but it is really nothing like people say. You hardly even notice there aren't boys and it honestly does make for a much quieter learning community.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Any student that is worried about transitioning out into the real world, who doesn't feel safe going to a large college, who has any sort of problem with learning or understanding material, or anyone who wants to get a very well rounded education.
