REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe classes that I have taken at Davenport University have thus far been excellent. The focus that DU has on helping students to have a well-rounded education is obvious and beneficial. The professors are open to helping students; I enjoy the smaller classes because there is more one-on-one assistance. Tutors are also available for help with homework if students cannot meet with their professors.
Lauren from Hastings, MI
The staff at Davenport is full of knowledge. The Professors actually work or have worked in the field related to the class. They know what they are talking about. They teach you the skills that you will need in your chosen field because they have been there them selves. If you have a question, just ask.
Max from Middleville, MI
Upon my first visit, I was granted a warm welcome my the front desk staff. I was instructed to sign in before meeting my counselor. After my meeting with her about transferring here next fall and after the campus tour, I can certainly say I'm stoked to finish my education here!
Iain from Kentwood, MI
The Challenges life gives us are unexpected and we need to find a support system that helps us be successful in our educational venture. I have the expert support of a great staff and support services offered at Davenport at every level. I found the unique support of a clothing voucher, internships and volunteer programs allowing me time to concentrate on my degree.
Betty from Flint, MI
Seriously here at Davenport the small class sizes really help with getting individual help from an instructor. Then if your instructor may be an adjunct (they don't have an office on campus) they can usually set up appointments with them if you need the help. Also our library here has a tutoring center that really helps as well.

Before I attended Davenport, English was my weakest subject. Now I am getting top grades in all the English classes. I enjoy learning and this college is perfect for people like me.
