This helps keep the classroom more professional and makes learning easier. The small class sizes at Defiance makes the education experience just that much more valuable. Professors will do anything to aid students from personal tutoring options to serving a fresh cooked meal to students. The curriculum is also challenging whether you are a freshmen or a graduating senior that includes real world internships (Hospital, forensic labs, shelters, etc.) and international (Belize, Cambodia, etc.) experiences in every major.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Defiance College (DC) offers many programs to keep students not only involved, but entertained during their stay at DC. Intermurals like Volleyball, Flag Football, Basketball, Softball, etc. are open to all students and unlike larger schools everyone is there to have fun. The student body and community is very hospitable and it seems that most can get together and enjoy themselves. For a small town there is also a lot of things to do. Over 50 local restaurants, to the YMCA, Northtowne Mall, movie theater, golf courses, mini-golf, go-karts. Defiance is also located near popular cities such as: Bowling Green, Findlay, Toledo, Fort Wayne, and Sylvannia. But, there is plenty to do on campus and in the dorms as well. I loved my first year experience at DC and look forward to the next three!
