Besides learning a ton from my General Education classes that Meredith requires you to take in order to graduate, the classes I take for my major is where I find myself learning the most. The teaching staff is wonderful and teaches from their own experiences and knowledge of each subject, rather than following a syllabus.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Meredith College has a variety of events every year from Cornhuskin, Ring Dinner, Dances, Formals, Big Sis Lil' Sis, and atheletics. There is always something going on, so there is never a bland weekend. I love how updated the dorms are with suites that share a bathroom instead of a community bathroom. The location is perfect with Crabtree Mall three miles down the road, NC State two minutes down the road, and various shops and restaurants along Hillsborough Street.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although Meredith College's tuition is high, people tend to forget about the benefits. You have a secured, fenced in campus with active security, receive a laptop as a freshman and have it updated as a junior, rewarded amounts on you cam-card per each start of the semester, and great athletic facilities (Brand new track and turf soccer field). Located in the best part of Raleigh with NC State right down the street and the campus is beautiful!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Discuss the benefits Meredith College offers within the tuition and do not just shoot it down because it is a high number. There are multiple scholarships to apply for, so do it! Do not think of it as an all-girls school when you have NC State boys right down the street! Look into being a part of an athletic team.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
For students who like to be involved in clubs and athletics. For students who love to sing and dance, there is a huge music program that Meredith offers (my suitemate is a music major and loves it). For students who like to be a part of the campus life and participate in exciting events!
