Will enjoy being here
If you enjoy small-town colleges, and just love the feeling of a small, homey college, this is the right place for you. It really is a beautiful campus, and the three-story library was definitely a plus for me! The security is really tight, which is VERY good if you want to go to college.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It really is an expensive college-$33,000 a year for in-state students. But hey, it is a private college so of course it's going to be more expensive. If you have good grades, and do exceptionally well on the ACT, you automatically qualify for the $12,000 presidential scholarship. So even though it's expensive, if you add all of the scholarships it's just like going to a public college with the benefits of a private college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
There are at least a hundred different clubs and organizations to join, so make sure you don't join to many at once. Don't overwhelm yourself your first semester: start out slow. Don't be afraid to contact your professors, or even a student tutor, if you need help: they are more than willing to assist you with any problem. If you have a question for a member of the faculty but can't contact them, Email them. The faculty check their email twice or more in one day.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is great for outgoing, personable, sociable students, but if you 're not, don't worry! Not many are upon entering, but Heidelberg's atmosphere brings out the socialite in them! The first few days I went there, an upperclassman told me that In order to go to Heidelberg, you have to be a little weird or crazy, and it's true.
