The professors at Rocky expect every student that attends their class to participate in class discussions and activities. They also create a friendly and personal classroom environment by learning each students name. The professors are passionate about what they teach and want their students to display the same amount of passion in the classroom. By displaying their passion for their subject it was easy for me to become engaged in my learning. Also my largest class at Rocky was 35 students and that was General Biology and my smallest was 9. The small class size allows you that chance to work one-on-one with your professors. I have already learned so much, and I am only going into my Sophomore year.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Rocky definitely is my home away from home. I truly did enjoy being there. I made some great friends that I know I will have for the rest of my life. The small size of the campus allows everybody the chance to feel connected to many different people and activities at Rocky. Everyone at Rocky is very friendly and encouraging, it does not matter what grade someone is in they are always friendly. Being home for the summer has made me realize how much I enjoyed it there, and I cant wait to go back this year!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Rocky provides a lot of financial aid, whether it is the academic scholarships Rocky gives students or it is the many different loan options that Rocky helps students get set-up; they help you try and take off the burden of paying for college if you need it. Also Rocky provides many work study opportunities which everyone should take advantage of. Rocky provides many fun opportunities that are at no cost their students. Rocky provides many intramural sports, which is a great way to get involved and meet new people. Also they have an awesome outdoor recreation program which is also free, like hiking through Yellowstone or skiing at Redlodge for the weekend among many other avtivites. Another bang for your buck is that all your lab fees, technology use fees, and parking fees are included in your tuition fees before school starts so you don't have to worry about paying for a required lab. Also laundry is free which is a great bonus!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not let the title of a private liberal arts school scare you away from at least applying. What is the worst that can happen, you end up getting an awesome scholarship and actually like going to class and making life long friendships. That is what happened to me! Also be open minded, leave your high school ideals at the door, and reinvent yourself. You only get this opportunity once!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anybody who is looking to start a new chapter in their life, enjoy trying new things and meeting new people.
