REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI attend Heidelberg University's music program. I've at least doubled my knowledge about music, and I've only been here a semester! You will definitely learn, and the work is challenging but not difficult. I really think you will enjoy going here.
Katelyn from Coshocton, OH
There are small classes that get you that one-on-one personal time with the professor that will help boost learning for you, and there are such a wide range of classes that you are bound to broaden your horizons on something. Heidelberg offers a wide variety of general education classes that helps its students live a life of purpose with distinction.
Brandi from Cecil, OH
The programs here are moderately challenging. Purpose with distinction is the school motto and it explains a lot about the university from an academic standpoint. If you apply yourself and study, you will be successful and opportunity will come your way. I love my professors and have learned so much during my first semester at the Berg!
Sophie from Canton, NY
While in high school I worked very had and took several AP courses. While that gave me an edge coming into college, I have still learned far more than I thought I would. The trick is that the professors have a way of making the material work for everyone in the class, whether you learn things very quickly or if you need just a little extra time Heidelberg has a way of giving everyone the chance to shine.
Joanna from Kokomo, IN
Warm, inclusive environment with friendly faculty. Fantastic opportunities for abroad studies. Size is just perfect - not so large that you feel overwhelmed, but not so small that you feel like you haven't left high school either!
Jaime from Berea, OH
heidelberg is a small school with a lot of opportunities. the professors are there to help you succeed, and will do anything to help you.
Taylor from Tiffin, OH
Heidelberg is all about the students, every faculty member you pass has a smile on their face. The students are wise and very informative and willing to answer questions that you have. Heidelberg is community oriented with a broad select of majors to choose from.
Arneshiah from Carey, OH
They have a lot of vegetarian options!
Hannah from Dundee, OH
