Review of Houghton University

from Houghton, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Houghton College is a small-town, Christian college, surrounded by an outstanding community. I felt the warmth of people's hearts the first time I set foot on campus. The experience thus far is truly unremarkable and well worth it!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The whole cost of college factor did play a major part of my decision in coming here. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. God will always provide for you regardless of the circumstances and situation.

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

I didn't think that it would be that hard coming into college. I found out soon that I was wrong. Houghton College has excellent academic programs that force the student into a learning mode to gain the most they possibly can out of their education.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I know every person in my dorm they are all friendly and I know most of them very well after just meeting them this year. Did I mention that we have floor devotions?

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Sodexo is in control this year and they do a great job. There are some days where it's hard to find something you want, but there always is something.

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

Sports, many clubs one of them being my favorite Nerf Club, hunting, singing, prayer, and so much more!

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

It is a hefty debt that I will be going into, but this is the last step before graduate school prior to entering the workforce. I have no fear that I will be able to repay that debt soon after I get out of college.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Shen bloc is when the entire guys dorm dresses up in the wackiest outfits and find somthing that will make noise and head down to the athletic field. There we cheer our hearts and lungs out supporting our soccer teams.

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

You can hunt on campus and every time I check in with them to take my bow out of the safe.
