Doane is a very down to earth, liberal college that makes it a priority to get every student involved. The students and faculty at Doane want to know each other; they practically beg for your acquaintanceship. Doane is like a family away from your family, and you won't want to leave.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved instantly. Don't be the person who sits in his/her dorm all day and night. Be involved, but make sure you have a balance on your academics and life.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There is pretty much a class for every interest. They don't have a lot of majors; however, they do have the ability to create your own major, and the faculty works really closely in that process.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are nice. Doane does a good job with cleaning and making sure the students keep their dorms clean. All of the dorm halls are co-ed.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
You have three choices. Tiger Inn (fast food), Common Grounds (coffee shop/cafe), and the cafeteria. The meal plan options are not as great, but they are said to be working on that.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Doane is a very active college. It has over 150 clubs/activities/sports/etc. It's actually hard to not find something to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Doane is expensive, but it gives great scholarships. The students were in an uproar about Doane raising the tuition price to compete with other colleges. It's worth the money, though. You get a great liberal arts education with some pretty decent financial aid.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Greek Week: You'll have to experience that. It's entertaining and slightly scary, coming from someone who didn't join the Greek life.
There are many cool places to go. Myth has it that some places are haunted. Many places to explore if you're bored.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Doane is great for everyone. If you're shy, Doane will get you out. If you're not...welcome. :)
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Doane has a nice Safety unit. They are mostly friendly and willing to help.
