Review of Cottey College

from Nevada, MO

Describe your college in three sentences.

The school is wonderful as far as the campus goes, as well as the professors. Also because its such a small campus the professors are able to have more one on one communication with the students and are able to help where its needed. Cottey also has pretty decent food and great housekeeping!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are planning on attending Cottey, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know your professors. They really do enjoy when a student shows interest in the class and they enjoy getting to talk to the students outside of classes as well.

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

Some of the classes are really rigorous and you must study a lot for them, however it also depends a lot on the professor teaching the subject. but you do learn a lot and if you really try then you should be great!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is wonderful if you get placed in a suite with a group of girls that can manage to get along. It is suite style housing with a decent size bathroom and kitchen for only 10 girls or less.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is one of the big highlights at Cottey because they actually have a chef that comes in and prepares food for the students. The only downside is that the desserts are addictive! but they don't call it the freshman 15 for nothing!

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

There is generally always something going on around campus for students to participate in. There are also some things to do around Nevada like go to the movies or shopping on the square.

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

Cottey is relatively cheap for all the stuff that is part of the tuition. It is most definitely worth it, and the college offers a ton of scholarships.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The campus is pretty small, and there are a lot of traditions throughout the entire year. Unfortunately these traditions details are top secret until the event itself!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Cottey is great if you don't have an issue with going to an all girls school. But even if you do then there are plenty of guys around Nevada and also bigger colleges near by. For those people that prefer the small town environment but still like to have fun then this is the place for you.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs on campus that there are just to many to name. But if you are looking to be involved in a club there is probably one that will fit your quota perfectly. Also the school sponsors an all expense paid trip to Europe the spring of your senior year, and there are many cheap opportunities to get off campus and go to bigger cities for fun and shopping.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are security guards and cameras around campus, as well as emergency buttons strategically placed around campus.
