Sterling College is an incredible vocational school with a great community. It's a lot of fun and hosts many different events for students. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a Christian school, which means that there are a number of Christian Gen Ed courses, such as Chapel and Old Testament/New Testament.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared to be around Christian students, both the judgmental and accepting kind, but also be prepared for non-Christian students. Go into it with an open mind.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The Athletic Trainers program is the most rigorous here; my roommate is in it as a Freshman, and she has to apply to continue in it. Many of the other programs, like the Education programs, have GPA standards; for most, it is 2.7 or higher, depending on which program you are enrolled in.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Great dorm community; R.As and R.Ds are super involved with our lives.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria is fairly good; the downside is that you are not allowed to bring food out of it, aside from ice cream cones.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
They have many on campus events, and two towns 10-30 mins away with various museums and attractions. The State Fair is only 30 mins away, when it's going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Dollar General right across the street; I feel like I picked the right College.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
One tradition is the cheer groups on campus, organized by students. There are two well known locations on campus: Cooper Hall, the castle featured on the website, and Sputnik, the clock in front of the library.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Studios, yet carefree students; the library is open late night and has special, soundproof rooms, as well as campus events (which are awesome, by the way; things like raves and movie nights).
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Not in one myself, but there are plenty of them of different types.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Non that I know of, actually.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
They have a texting sytsem just in case a shooter gets on campus.
