Review of Edgewood College

from Madison, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Edgewood College is perfect for students that want to enjoy a big city life while attending a small school. The school is expensive but they do a good job at providing sufficient financial aid to make it possible for students to attend that otherwise wouldn't be able to, like myself. Overall, the education is great and the people are warm and welcoming.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. Live in the dorms to enhance your college experience. 2. Be open to making new friends that you otherwise wouldn't have befriended in high school. 3. You pay for your education so make the most out of it. 4. College is a fresh start, forget your stereotypes and prejudices, become the best person you possibly can.

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

Edgewood College provides a vast amount of classes at different levels that challenges students as they strive to find their interests and major. Professors works with the students to help them achieve rather than against them, making them struggle to get by.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I lived in a single, all girls, dorm. At first, I thought I was going to hate it but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. The doubles and triples and co-ed dorms at Edgewood College also produced great experiences among my peers. I have experienced and heard nothing but good things about the sanitation and layout of the dorms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food and dining are very good here. There are two eating facilities, Wingra and Phil's, that provide food that is prepped personally for you, the way you like it. There is a variety of food selections, healthy and greasy, for everyone's liking. The drink selection is also phenomenal!

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

There is a boardwalk behind the school that boarders Lake Wingra. Edgewood provides free kayaks and canoes for students to enjoy fun summer activities. Also, Edgewood is five minutes from downtown Madison where you can enjoy lots of shopping, dining and site seeing.
