Cottey is a rare college that offers small classes and a lot of involvement. While there, I was able to find out about myself through the offered classes. They also have a great opportunity to develop your skills in a humble environment, allowing you to focus on the reason you are there.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be intimidated by an all women's college; the lack of boys leads to less distraction and less drama. Push yourself in classes; if it's too much, your professors will work with you. Have fun; you have so much opportunity to grow and to connect!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The courses are going to push you, but when you get your grades you know you've gotten out what you put in.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love suite living! You get to have a mini-family, with your own entertainment area, kitchen, and bathroom. And if you don't mesh with your mini-family, you can always relocate.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Our food is DELICIOUS! There will be those days when you come down, and nothing looks good on the hot-line, but then you still have soup options, a salad bar, a sandwich bar, and cereals. Before going to Cottey, I did not like French Toast; after trying Chef Michael's, I'll never go back.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Like I said, you have your own mini-family. Mine liked to spend time together, whether watching movies, making crafts, or building forts. There's always something to do around campus, and it's always free to students: speakers, games, and music.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Cottey is tradition central -- it's so fun! It brings the campus together, and you get to know each other that much better.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are tons of clubs you can get involved in on campus! Just look for your interest, and we'll probably have it from knitting to recycling to working with animals.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Everyone on campus will probably tell you how safe our campus is. Lots of lighting, emergency poles, and always having your friends around you, it's hard for anything to go wrong. We have a great communication system, and as long as you are respectful of it, everything will be fine.
