Emily's Review

Review of Meredith College

from Raleigh, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

A Sisterhood. An Experience. An Education.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit the school!

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

Don't doubt for a moment that this school will be easy. They may accept in more students but they are equally challenging to any top university. There is a reason why we have such great test scores, and pass rates....

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorms are great! All dorms offer free cable, and most of the dorms have bathrooms within the room (rather than the hall). Each floor has a small kitchen area for cooking, baking, and heating up food.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

For a small college, their food and dining and exceptional. The employees are really nice! They have at least about 3 different hot food options available at each meal, and always have sandwiches, pizza, burgers, salads, cereal, and bagels available. Not to mention they have an ice-cream machine (with toppings!) and will provide weekly special cuisines (like Indian food, or vegetarian specials, etc). The meal plan given to students is unlimited (which is nice) so you never have to worry....

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

Meredith is a sisterhood, so we often like to hang out together and simply relax.

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

This school costs a lot of money but its worth it! My older sister attends a community college and while its cheaper, she doesn't enjoy it and doesn't have much experience to put on her resume. After being at Meredith for only a year and taking part in the opportunities they offer, my Resume is larger and more impressive than hers (and she has been in college for 3 years)

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Do I even need to mention Corn Husking? I'm sure everybody else would have explained it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for those who want more than just a degree. They offer experience and friendship.... Meredith is also very self sufficient which means that its great for students who can't rely on their families or who are moving far away from family.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

They have plenty of clubs and activities for every interest and major.

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

They have very good campus security. There is 24hr security, and after 11pm males are carded at the gates (we have strict male policies)
