Pfeiffer is a small community that allows for big opportunities while fostering a feeling of home and family. The professors care about not only your education, but you as a person, and are more than willing to work to get you to where you want to be. Pfeiffer is home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Pfeiffer is what you make of it. If you complain and whine about having to do the work, you won't get the most out of your time here. But, if you work at it, get to know faculty who can help, and create relationships with other students on campus, you can easily make this home.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depends on the course. Your general education classes can be a little redundant, but once you get into the specialized classes, the work can pile up and increase in difficulty. There are ways to get help when needed, however.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are many housing options. The communities in the dorms vary from year to year, but there is a common factor-you create friendships that can last a lifetime. The housekeepers are always nice and keep things as clean as they can. RA's do the best they can and make sure everything is going well.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food depends on who is cooking that day. Some workers do certain things better than others. The food is always edible, and they do have some amazing options. The workers are always nice and try to learn the names of those they interact with. Be nice to them, and they'll look out for you when you want the good food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a lot of organizations that keep the weekends lively. There's always some event or another to get dragged into. If there's nothing on campus, we aren't too far away from some bigger cities that have things going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although many students get scholarships here, for those who don't, it is still well worth the money. You create connections and opportunities that extend well beyond the four years you spend in Misenheimer.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Don't step on the seal in the student center. If you do, you have a minute to run across the street and the traintracks to touch the lucky sundial. If you don't touch it in time, you won't graduate on time.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who want to foster a close relationship with professors, or want to meet people from multiple different countries. Also for those who are willing to work to get where they want after graduation.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is always something going on. Students make sure that there is an event that kids can go to, whether it be an official school-sanctioned event or something a little less structured.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We don't have Greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is small and in a small area. We have campus security and the Misenheimer police patrolling not only around campus, but in the dorms themselves occasionally. We are always kept up to speed if there is anything wrong, although that is extremely rare. I have never felt threatened at Pfeiffer.
