Rockford is a very clean, respectful, and comfortable campus. The transition to college life was very easy because of the friendly campus personnel. The athletic programs are awesome here at Rockford.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Contact your admissions counselor early - they are awesome and will help you every step of the way. If you are going to be involved in any type of extra curricular activity contact the coach or person responsible for the club early and get yourself prepared. Keep your grade point average up!!! Retake your ACT's as many times as you need to so you can get a high grade!! Very important.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I signed up for my classes early - I have an excellent class schedule - I am taking all core classes at this time, but my schedule allows me enough time to get my homework done, study, and play football. The classrooms are perfect size - instructor to student ratio is like 11 - 1.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love it! I suggest looking at all the types of rooms available -- the campus is nice and small so that you are not lost in the shuffle. Everything is within walking distance from my dorm. I really like these dorms when compared to the other campuses I was looking at!!!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Very close - very good. Not Mom and Dad's cooking but it is very good and you never go hungry!!!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
We hang out - play video games -- walk around sometimes, play frisbee golf, play football, basketball, etc.. it is a nice small campus so you will get to know everyone very fast.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think they were a little more expensive than some others I looked at but I was sold when I met the football coach and my admissions counselor. The nicest people ever!! One of the reasons I chose this campus is because it is set back - it is not in the middle of a town where you are fighting traffic or crossing across city streets to get to your buildings - when you pull into Rockford it is because you are there for the college -- there isn't any other reason to be there!!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a haunted building!!! It's cool.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All types - athletics -- football program is GREAT!! The theatre group looks like it has a lot to offer -- great for students who do not like the big crowd -- it is laid back and it is for students who do not want to be just a student number -- here you walk through campus and the people that work there actually know your name!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Too many to mention -- you have a lot to choose from!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We do need to start a fraternity
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Excellent -- the campus is by itself and not in the middle of town so the campus security patrols 24/7 - makes you feel very safe!!
