An aesthetically beautiful campus with myriad outdoor locations where students can can and do express themselves artistically. Our professors vary from whimsically creative to liberally traditional. No students are chastised here for any expressed individuality; instead, students are praised and celebrated for their outstanding uniqueness.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The students here seem shy, but do not be fooled. Talk to anyone and they will happily invite you to converse at length. Be bold, if you will, for at Edison you are amongst a multitude of soft-spoken (as well as multi-talented) innovators.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This school is far from perfect, but many of its professors have decided to teach here so that we may learn from their uncanny wisdom. Learning does not occur in an atypical way, and in this way there are quite often some challenges to face and overcome. Here at Edison we are learning not only for today, but for our unilaterally personal strengths in the future.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I have yet to live on campus but from having constantly visited, the dorms are immaculate. Very securely built and carefully organised, students are provided a high privilege while living here. The only complaint some students have living on campus is that there are many restrictions on how long and when people may visit. Some with boyfriends/girlfriends off-campus have been known to be uncomfortable with this policy.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This is the only lacking feature of our school. The food is quite varied, fortunately, but it does not provide options for particular diets such as vegan, vegetarian, and/or gluten-free. Any individual who is either of these three much carefully inquire of what may be removed from the initial meal offered, which for some proves tedious for many.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are thankfully many clubs on campus. If and when there are students who wish for a club that is not presently offered, there have the open opportunity to begin their own. A recent example of this is a Hip-Hop dance, art, and music club that has only just become official this Spring 2014 semester. In this club, some students often breakdance, rap, beatbox, and sometimes observe and encourage each other towards further artistic expression. Besides these many clubs on campus, we have an Art Gallery (Bob Rauschenburg Gallery) that has open exhibits for most of the year. There is also the Barbara B Mann performance hall which shows a variety of plays, live music shows, and some other quality performances. From time to time, students are invited to free meal or snack events on campus to either celebrate certain organisations, raise awareness, or celebrate a particular event.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Again, there is no perfection here but for the inquisitive and open-minded young scholar this campus is a secure foundation to build one's academic experience upon.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Wacky Wednesdays tend to offer free food as well as playful social integration exercises on campus. There is a garden area beside the Rauschenberg gallery that has a pond with koi fish and lotus flowers that are in full bloom very often.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Self-taught and/or school taught artists, Nursing majors, expressive introverts, LGBTQ+, first/second/third/etc.-generation immigrants, and any undecided majors with a strong will to decide on their major.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
As I have described, our clubs are constantly evolving and expanding due to the open opportunity for students to start their own clubs whenever they please.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
This is another aspect of life at Edison of which I am unfamiliar. From what I have seen and heard, this is not as prominent here as in large-scale universities.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Amazing high level of security. There is heavy surveillance during the evening to night times as though something has occurred in the past, but currently nothing has gone wrong. Students are well-mannered and our public security department contains diligent professionals.
