Review of Niagara University

from Dunkirk, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Niagara University is a place that you will feel like home. There are many things to do on campus to keep you busy. As soon as you walk onto the campus you feel like family and your academic goals can be reached there.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are looking to attend this college then you will need to find a balance between your school and social life. This school is known for its close knit community and academic record. The games are fun to watch and it is a great way to meet new people.

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

The academics are hard but not overwhelming. The professors challenge you and help you learn new things. They will also take the time to make sure you understand the curriculum before moving on. They also help you find job placements your senior year and where to get experience when needed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are very nice and have a home feeling. There are numerous activities that you can do on campus as a resident student to meet people on your floor. You can go to games that are free to Niagara students. There are same-sex floors with two bathrooms on each floor. The dorm halls are kept very nice and clean and there is no problem trying to find a quiet place to study.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food on the campus is both healthy and there are a wide variety of options. There are vegetarian options and there is also an ice cream bar. The staff at the dining halls are very nice and ask you how you are doing when getting your food. The main dining hall is a buffet style while the separate hall is more of a pick up and go style. The food is good and you never run out of options.

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

There are so many things to do for fun on campus. You can hang out with friends in the dorm lounges or go to the gorge. You can also attend the sports games with friends. Canada isn't far away so you can even go and visit the other side of the border if you have a passport or enhanced licence. The campus has a lot of clubs and groups so that you are never bored on weekends or on your breaks between classes.

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

Niagara University is worth the money. There is a family feel and you are getting what you pay for in your classes and the jobs they help you with. As an education student I will need help finding places for observation hours and student teaching. Niagara will do that for you and help you find safe places for you to find a job.
