Park is very easy. Not academically easy, but the atmosphere. The weather's kind of rough, but aside from that it's a good school. It's small, but not too small, it's a beautiful campus, and the teachers can be tough, but most are looking to challenge you but help you at the same time.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Once you see the campus, and the chapel, and Copley Quad (if you decide to live on campus) you'll love it!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The teachers challenge you but want to help at the same time, typically. There are a few professors you may want to avoid, ask people around campus who they recommend. If you stay on task and focus on school, even just a little, it will not be difficult or overly stressing.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I have lived in both dorms. Copley Quad is very new, roomie, and apartment like. 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchenette, and living room make a room. The 1st floor is usually buzzing with at least a handful of people. There are four floors, the elevator is out of use not frequently, but not sparingly. There is a lab on the 2nd floor, a printer and laundry room on the main floor. Chestnut is very different. It's a short walk from the buildings on campus. It's more dorm-like, the building is definitely aging, but peoples' doors are open. Two bedrooms and one bathroom, 4 washers and 4 dryers. It's less nice but more affordable, and the worst part is the walk.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is not why you go to the caf. It's not always good, the cooks do try though. This is where a lot of social activities are and you meet a lot of people. The staff at the coffee shop, the caf, and the smart market are all great (:
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Downtown KC is less than 15 minutes away. There's P&L, the City Market, the Plaza, Zona, downtown Parkville are all walking distance or a short drive. There are house parties near campus usually.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Park is unusual. Around 5 most days you hear booms because there is limestone, every 15 minutes the tower chimes and on the hour it plays a song. Much of the school and university is underground, you can cut across the campus inside. It over looks the Missouri River and downtown Parkville.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to attend where you don't know anyone, everyone's generally friendly. International students, I here they have a good English program here or just jump right into classes! Athletes.. People from small schools.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The clubs lack, but the clubs that are here are very invested. They spend time organizing activities, and there are always things to do on campus.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There isn't any greek live, the athletic teams are as good as this aspect gets.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
5 stars! Campus safety is great. I never feel threatened. You can walk alone at the dead of night and it's all good, you'll probably see their white truck driving around. Everyone at campus safety is great! Really! Everyone around campus, but the people at campus safety will always lend a hand. Michelle, Joe, Akwy and the rest are all great.
