Park University is a beautiful campus with small classrooms that allow the teaching that students need. The classrooms are high school sized so they allow for a good relationship between professor and student.It's very easy to get around campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to ask for help; whether it's not knowing where something is, which floor something is on, how to do something, etc. everyone is really helpful. Get started on applying soon because you may have extra forms you have to fill out before you can actually get accepted and start attending the university.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have to work on homework everyday. It's not necessarily difficult, but the workload is definitely more than high school. It takes some adjusting, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Just pop in your headphones and cut everyone out. There are also designated study rooms at the end of the hall (for Copley, I'm not sure about Chestnut) so that people can get away from any noise or distractions.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are beautiful, when they say suites they really mean it. I stay on the fourth floor in Copley Quad and my neighbors are loud people but even with that I'm never woken up or disturbed. Chestnut is still alright, the rooms only allow for two people to stay in the dorm and the rooms themselves aren't nearly as nice. It's worth it to stay in Copley even though it's more expensive. Leave your door open to help meet new people, everyone will want to stick their head in and see what stuff you have hanging on your walls to see what kind of person you are and to get to know you!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food is a little bit better than high school food. It actually tastes home cooked. There are new options everyday, and lets not forget the yummy icecream machine we have here!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun, I like to hang out with my roommates in our living room, or with my neighbors. I also sometimes go downstairs to the Copley common area and watch tv with other people, there are always some people down there. Sometimes people are outside playing ball and its fun to just watch them and talk to your friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Park's education is really awesome for the amount of money your paying. It's a private university and you're paying so little. It's a beautiful campus, so you can just walk around if you like and look at the scenery. The town of Parkville is just a walk away and there are so many cool and cute little stores, restaurants and shops down there to explore.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are always Campus Safety officers present walking around, it really makes you feel safe. There is a widely known number to call if you feel threatened or lost, and the guys are always willing to help.
