Review of Hastings College

from Lincoln, NE

Describe your college in three sentences.

Honestly I love Hastings College. I rate them as a ten out of ten. I love the fact that I can call Hastings College my home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My first tip is to just be prepared for anything, especially classes. Find a good group of friends to associate yourself with and then the rest will follow. Lastly don't be afraid to talk to your professors they are there to help you when ever you need it. Any of your professors will tell you this multiple times.

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

Of course you are going to have some challenging classes, but it is all about preparation. If you are prepared for anything that could possibly come up in class or on a test then there is no possible way for you to fail. Preparation and determination is the key to success in college.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorm life is amazing! I am currently an RA in Bronc Hall and it is a complete 180 from what it was last year. Resident life and all the RA's and RD's have really busted their butts to make this a better living area. They have come a long way and have made huge leaps in making Bronc Hall the best that they possibly can.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Sodexo does an amazing job with the dining services. Granted sometimes the food isn't always the best, but I can always guarantee a warm welcoming as I walk in and a very polite goodbye as I leave. Their serving services is hands down better than some restaurants here in Hastings NE.

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

In my spare time I am usually at football practice or something football related. Otherwise I am hanging out with guys in the dorm, playing videos games, or out having fun with the football team.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

There is no doubt that Hastings College gives you the bang for your buck. This institution gives you so many opportunities to succeed in every aspect of your college career. If you need help with schooling you always have your professor along with Beth Funky in the Learning Center. Ms. Funky and her crew are the best in the business. They have so many tools for you to be in control of your future.

Honestly in the past years the Greek life has kind of been lacking in my opinion. This year the college has made huge steps in making it better. Along with bringing it back to where it was in prior years. Hastings is definitely heading in the correct direction we just need the students to step up and take on the task at hand.

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

The campus safety is amazing here. There is always someone you can contact if you need anything. There is always an RA that you can come to if you ever need anything. All of us have an open door policy. Any freshmen or new student should never feel like they are alone. There is just so many options to choose from if you need anything.
