McPherson College is a fantastic school, it's the perfect size and people here really care about students. They have great extracurricular programs and student employment opportunities. The only down side is a lack of degree options.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early and visit many, many times. By the time I had enrolled a lot of professors knew me and the entire admissions staff and I were on a first name basis.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes I've had haven't been too challenging.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are great, I love my room. The internet is very fast and there's a deluxe cable subscription for each room.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is fantastic, great variety. Once a week there's a different ethnic option that they haven't done before.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I'm an actor so I act for fun and the theatre program here is amazing, as I freshman I've been in two shows thus far, it's been a blast. There's also a couple of clubs in town, and a movie theatre the a lot of students frequent on Tuesday night when the school sponsors a $2 tuesday where students pay $2 to see brand new movies. The school is also great about scheduling things like comedians, stunt men, and other acts for students to watch.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school does a great job with Career services and internship programs. They help students get internships as early as freshman year. It's great for learning how work in the field you want to pursue is.
