Read What Students Are SayingMy classes are pretty easy! Though I am learning a lot of new topics. It is like a continuation from what I learned in high school! But classes are more fun and there is a lot more down time.
Kristine from Tecumseh, KS

If you have problems learning Emporia State is The school with the utilities to help u utilize your skills and better yourself.
dakota from Gilmer, TX
Emporia is a great university that allows students to get involved in the community. It has a great learning environment. Kids will feel right at home once attending.
Tiffani from Hoyt, KS
The teachers are very explanatory. When I was in high school, I took advanced courses, so I'm taking classes that I've sorta already taken right now (I've only been here a semester), but I'm still learning more about them and remembering things better. The teachers are also very willing to help outside of class, and work with your schedule to do it. Also, the majority of the teachers relate to the students very well and use teaching techniques that will keep your attention.
Nicole from El Dorado, KS
If you're looking for a school that has the top programs in all its degrees, genuinely looks out for its students, and offers a lot of opportunities, Emporia is for you. It's a great transition school. Everyone there is positive, helpful and wants you to succeed!
Carissa - Valley Falls, KS
Emporia is the perfect school for me; it's a small town environment with a lot of care for their students and amazing programs. I can't wait to go and get my degree there, especially with the best art therapy program! Emporia hasn't failed my expectations.
Marissa from Kingman, KS
Emporia State has a friendly, inviting and warm atmosphere about it. The professors and advisers care about you and the teacher's college is full of some of the most kind and understanding people you will ever meet. I loved it here, and was said to leave the college I had grown to love.
Abbey from Wichita, KS
Teachers are always willing to help students inside and outside of class time, they want to see them succeed.
