Review of Edgewood College

from Bloomer, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Edgewood College is one of the most beautiful colleges I have ever toured. The staff and professors are kind and caring. You are not just a number here, the school does what it can to help you succeed and even find you a job once you graduate.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Always ask around for the best professors if you can pick who teaches your class. Get out and hang out during orientation week, that will be the prime time to make friends. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how silly they sound.

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

No class is hard once you understand the subject. The professors will not move on until each student understands the material and is comfortable with it. But don't be afraid to push yourself.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The living conditions on campus are great. It helps prepare you for the real world because your living area is as clean as you keep it. Space is never an issue.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeterias are more than willing to help if students have special dietary needs. Everything is fresh, homemade and tastes amazing. Everything is super healthy, too!

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

Edgewood never runs out of activities for its students to do. You receive weekly emails of what the week will hold. There is never nothing to do.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is a hill that leads up to one of the dorms, Dominican, where an improve group likes to meet just for fun. It is always at the most random times but it's so much fun! Also, the bike path behind the school goes around the lake and to the zoo, which is beautiful every time of the year.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Edgewood is great for nursing, science, and performing arts. After all, it is a liberal acts school!

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

This is one of the most safe campuses in the state. There are stations every hundred or so feet where, if you are in trouble, you just press the button and security will be at that spot ASAP. Also, if you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe walking somewhere you can just call security and they will be more than happy to escort you safely.
