As a liberal arts college, the University of Evansville is expanding my mind through my general education in addition to teaching me about my interests through my major classes. Although keeping up with my studies takes dedication on my part and a large time commitment, the rewards of my expanded knowledge are worth it. A student can also learn a lot outside of the classroom from the many international students on campus and the events these student put on. My mind has also been opened to the beauty of the theatre program on campus through attending the productions. A student also has the opportunity to learn about oneself through living away from home and having the interaction of living with a roommate. In all areas, including in and out of the classroom, I am learning as much as I can here at U.E.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
With many activities going on constantly on campus, there is always something to do when you are not studying. I enjoy much time in the student fitness center in addition to attending Division I athletic events and participating in athletics myself through the dance team. In addition to athletics, there are a myriad of clubs available to join on campus and countless opportunities to get involved. If you are looking for an interactive campus, this is the place for you. Because the University of Evansville is not a suitcase campus, as a student you have more of an opportunity to form lasting friendships with your fellow students. With some activity always going on or studying to do, I am immensely enjoying my time on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although the University of Evansville is a private university and therefore more expensive than many public colleges, the extra dollars are definitely worth what you get out of the university. Also, the financial aid office is extremely helpful and works with you to help you come up with a payment plan and in answering any questions you may have. My mind has been expanded through this liberal arts education and through interactions with students. This campus really turns into your new home once you arrive and you find a secondary family in your fellow students and professors. Because the campus is so small, you really have the opportunity to form lasting relationships with your professors. They are always eager to answer any questions or write recommendations for you. In the long run, the education and relationships you obtain from this university far outweighs the increased price for being a private school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not overlook this university solely because of finances. They give phenomenal scholarships and are extremely helpful. Also, be sure to take the time to get to know all the diverse students around you on campus. Much can be learned from a simple conversation with an international student and lasting bonds can be formed. As a prospective student, I encourage you to physically come to campus and take a tour and even spend the night with a current student (this can be set up by the admissions office). This will help you to get the true feel of campus and ensure you are well informed before making your decision.
