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!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be clear on what you want to do. Since the campus is small and private, opportunities for the more obscure specialties are not necessarily available.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Honestly, it depends on the program/major, and clearly it depends on the professor, but all in all I find the academics to be worthwhile.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Honestly, who could love a dorm? =) But there are fantastic buildings for upperclassmen, a new building for sophomores, and an all-girls dorm for those who don't want to room near the men!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining hall leaves a bit to be desired, particularly if you're a vegetarian, but there is a fantastic pub on campus - and yes, pub. We are not a dry campus, despite our UCC affiliation!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
In Tiffin, not much. There are some bars/clubs, if that's your thing, and a movie theater, but we're in the middle of a cornfield... options are limited, to say the least. However, about 30 minutes away there's a larger city with a mall, restaurants, and even a great antiques shop if that's your thing.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
T-Bridge... I say no more! I'm also sure the fraternities and sororities have their own closely-guarded traditions.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Definitely better for those who are more focused on academics rather than partying (not to say it doesn't happen, because it does), and those who prefer smaller, more intimate classes.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a fantastic number of clubs on campus, and it is very easy to start your own if you don't see one you want! I also mentioned this earlier, but this campus is very friendly to those students who are interested in studying abroad at some point during their college career - I did, and I loved it!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
