Review of Ripon College

from North Fond du Lac, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Ripon College has a fun enjoyable atmosphere with teachers that make learning fun. The advisers are very understanding and knowledgeable about all majors. All buildings on campus are within walking distance and the grounds are always very well taken care of.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't be afraid to get out there. College life can be pretty scary at first but once you meet with an amazing group of people, time flies by.

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

The academic prospect of college is very important, but don't get overloaded. Allow some down time for your mind between papers and reports but make sure they are all done when needed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most of the dorms are normally quiet during the day and after 10 o'clock at night. On weekends there is obviously more noise but it quiets down on Sundays. The dorms are cleaned every week day and it is easy to get a hold of any cleaning supplies needed.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is edible but can get tiring after a while. Don't be afraid to check out the other places around campus. All the dining areas are cleaned and well maintained.

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

Downtown Ripon is basically connected to the college, everything is within walking distance. There are so many clubs on campus and there are often a lot of dances hosted by the school and other organizations.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Ripon actually has a Pub that used to serve beverages before the drinking age was made official and is still being used today as a place to get food.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone who enjoys focusing on school during the week and partying on the weekend would love it here. There are still things to during the week if you join clubs!!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many different clubs it's hard to keep track of them all. Every Tuesday the school has a Golden Hour which usually has fun activities that help develop the learning experience.

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

The campus is super safe. Every night Ripon College vans can be seen driving around the campus making sure everyone is safe and they can even be called if you don't feel safe.
