Review of Converse University

from Chester, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

there was something about the enthusiasm of the admissions counselors that just drew me to converse. i was able to connect with them, and felt drawn to the school. as i learned more about the school and attended open house in november, i fell in love with everything it has to offer.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

look for scholarships as early as september! vonverse does a wonderful of keeping up with the commitment and offers scholarships to deserving students. however, don't limit yourself to certain types of scholarships. sign up for as many websites to help you in you scholarship search, and go for large-scale, national ones to small local ones. coming from someone who is currently in this search, seeing your hard work pay off is worth the work,

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

everyone seems ready to learn! i had the opportunity to talk with several professors at an open house event, and they seemed genuinely interested in my opinions and intended major. the classes are small, and seem geared toward individual attention. i am very excited to see a class first-hand.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

the residence halls are very nice. t had the chance to see the new senior housing apartments, and i thought i was in a condo at the beach! the halls have full-scale windows that contribute to a very warm, open atmosphere. the dorms are well kept, and are very comfortable.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the lunch provided at the open house in november was delicious. the food was fresh, and prepared nicely. although i haven't had much of a chance to see the food facilities that are there, i am sure they will have a good and nutitious variety.

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

remember scholarship applications, scholarship applications, scholarship applications! while converse may seem too expensive, it is not! a quality education, beautiful campus, and exciting school events all make the price well worth it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

i was excited when i read about the big sis/lil sis events. each year the incoming freshman are wither a pink panther or a red devil depending on their year of graduation. even years are pink panthers and odd years are red devils. during big sis/lil sis week, all freshman are assigned a big sister. because of the pink panthers and red devils, there is a friendly competition between the two. each year instills pride and further connects new students to current students.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

motivated students who want a unique, rewarding college experience. also, one that fosters a deep sense of community.
