Manchester University is a small school in North Manchester, Indiana. This University has a nice dorm life and offers plenty of activities on campus to do on weekends or during the week. Also I am a transfer student from Indiana Wesleyan University, and if there is anything else I can say about the University I would say that transferring to this University was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would tell you to definitely get involved with the dorm. I know for a fact that if you get involved with your dorm you will never be bored on campus, even if it is raining, and you will make new friends relatively quickly. I made more friends at Manchester University in a week then I made all year at the first University I attended. Also I would tell you to get to know your professors well, especially if you are thinking about pursuing something in the medical field. The professors will always find time for you if you give them some notice.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I would say that this University pushes you hard, but that is not a bad thing. The intensity of the University definitely helps prepare you for the future.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love dorm life, it was something that really helped me adjust to being a part of this University.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food has days when it is really good and also days it is bad. It is a pretty typical college dining experience. Still the food is edible and if you really want something else there is plenty of places close by to pick up food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you want to have fun on campus try to first get involved with your dorm and see what activities they are sponsoring. Then look at clubs and go to the activity fair that is offered in the fall and spring. Make sure to not get so involved with clubs that you cannot get your classwork done. In addition, I would go to as many of the VIA's as you can, most of the time they are actually really interesting and you learn a lot about things you did not understand. Lastly, try to plan activities that you can do with your new college friends. For example, have a movie night or go out to Dairy Queen. Also you could go bowling, which is an affordable activity for college students to do off campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I would say that this school is worth the extra expense because it provides an ideal environment for students to flourish. I know that in one year of school here I have grown tremendously, and I would not have it any other way. Not only does this campus have good professors and a dorm life, but it also offers plenty of experiences for a student to learn about material they are ill informed about or know little about.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
I think one unusual tradition we have on campus is our rib cookoff. This is a great experience if you love ribs and want to criticize some of your fellow friend's food. Also if you love Food Network like I do this is an experience that makes you feel kind of like you are a judge on Chopped. Also we have a Drag Show every year which is intriguing and a good experience.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are a student that is just starting to come out of your shell or used to be Shy this is a great school for you. It has relatively small class sizes and professors which make you feel comfortable. If you want to expand your own point of view on moral or political issues this school is also helpful.
