If you don't want to be just a number, instead you want to have a name and a say then King's is great for you. King's has a small campus where your professors know you by name and you can have one on one time with them for help and any questions you may have. King's has a wide array of different things to offer each and every student.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved. I'm sure every college tells you this but here at King's the student body is so closely knitted that you have a voice and people will listen to you. It has always been said that out of the three things; social life, grades, and sleep; when you go to college that you can only pick two of them but, I know for myself and many others you can have all three. King's has many different clubs and activities to get involved in as well as trips to NYC and Washington and much more. Grades- that's easy, you can have a study group getting in social life and grades in one shot. Finally sleep, well that one is all up to you on how you manage your time. But I can tell you this, it isn't hard to manage your time where you wont get sleep. As long as you do all your work that is needed and don't wait 'til last minute you will have time for anything and everything you want to do.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Professors are very friendly and they don't want to see you fail. If you're having problems in a class see your professor and they would be happy to help you better understand it. There is no shame in visiting office hours because you are confused about something, everyone does it. As long as you finish your work on time, you should not have any problems with your grades.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
You will get mixed reviews on dorm life at King's because everyone has different ways that they are used to living. There are many different living spaces offered, freshmen must live in Esseff(females) or Holy Cross(males). the main complaint that students have with the freshmen dorms is the guard that has to sign males into the female dorm and females into males dorm and the fact that the opposite sex has to be signed out by midnight on school nights and 2am on Friday and Saturday. I personally have no complaints or problems with the dorm life.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
My main concern with the food was what was I going to eat. I am a vegetarian so I was worried that they wouldn't have anything. However there were multiple options for me to choose from. There are 3 restaurant type dining places as well as a large buffet of various food. You will never go hungry at King's, there is food everywhere and you are always bound to find something that you will like.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is plenty to do for fun. Campus Activities has different events happening throughout the year, and the best part...a lot of them are free! There are many clubs and activities to get involved with as well. If those aren't things you're interested in then the book store is right down the road as well as a bowling ally where you can get free shoes and $2 games on Tuesdays and there is also a movie theater in walking distance, or if you just like to be by yourself or a couple of friends; across the street from King's is the River where there is a park you can just relax and enjoy yourself.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
When you see how much tuition is you might be like Holy cow! How am I going to pay for that?!? Easy. King's college offers a lot of financial aide and with the help of that, tuition is much nicer. I can tell you, King's is well worth it, this college offers so much for every student, it is very diverse in its student body and activities.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
King's is great for all students. King's is very diverse and there is always something for everybody. Everyone is very friendly and you will make friends so easily.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Like I've said previously King;s offers something for everyone. The student body here is so diverse that I can guarantee that there is something that will interest you. If you don't find a club for you, you can always get enough people and start your own with the help of campus activities.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is only one sorority and one fraternity. Both are not actually a part of the college, they fund themselves and each are service organizations. Not your typical Greek life, they study together, and help out the surrounding community.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is always walking around to make sure everyone is safe, night and day. If you're a commuter and you have a night class and you don't want to walk all the way to your car alone at night then security will be happy to help and make sure that you arrive safely. Also stated in the dorm life section, I mentioned about the guards signing students in and out of the halls. Everyone must present ID, if you are not a student you must present another form of picture ID that will be returned to you when you sign out. You will be safe here at King's College.
