Student's Review

Review of The King's College

from NY

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

~Get in the habit of wearing business casual. ~Attend the Inviso event.

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

Most of the classes are pretty challenging and require a lot of reading and writing. But there are some (math-based) ones that are easier.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

More than 90% of the students are out-of-state and dorm in apartment building that are scattered throughout the city, separate from the college campus. No co-ed options. The negative side is that you still have to pay for transportation to go to the campus every day and the dorms are expensive. Many students rent an apartment with their friends because it comes out cheaper that way.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I think they offer a meal plan now but I personally just buy my own food from nearby cafes/restaurants/standbars. I do like that there's access to the 3rd floor cafeteria plus they have their own small cafeteria on the 5th floor which has a microwave, a fridge, and a sink (water fountains are also available).

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

It's New York. I'm sure you'll think of something *wink*

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Overall a good college experience for the tuition amount. Most of the classes are small and therefore allow you to participate and learn more fully. The education gives you a Christian outlook on the subjects. The curriculum is challenging and not something you can just breeze through. Summer classes are offered. The setting is very business-like and helps prepare you for the business world. The community is very tight-knit.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

~ Highly motivated students who want to succeed. Since this college is small, most of the students here are those who want to be here and know what they want to do in life. Very few are apathetic and laidback. ~It would help if you're Christian, but it's a requirement. There are students who are neutral so to speak and don't go to church. ~Great for those who want to be challenged

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a few notable student organized clubs such as the Mock Trial and the school newspaper. There are also sports clubs. Although you're free to create a club if you want, not many people do so there's only a small number of them.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There's no traditional Greek life per say but instead there's a House System. It basically splits students into 10 different groups, houses, named after important historical figures. Six of the houses are all-women and the other four are all-men. It's a neat way to feel more connected. There are a bunch of events with house competitions and stuff like that.

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

As safe as a college could possibly be.
