Review of University of Redlands

from Woodhaven, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

As a Johnston Center student I have been given the unique opportunity to craft my own undergraduate experience by creating my own major. Instead of grades, we receive evaluations for every class - a system that allows for students to reflect on their weaknesses and strengths. The U of R has a bit everything for everyone and here you can truly make your college experience what you want to make of it - it's all up to you the student.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Great place for its wonderful resources and diverse opportunities from community service to on-campus services. Sports and Music facilities are great and accessible. Food options are pretty good from two midnight cafes apart from the general cafeteria. Dorm life really depends on your dorm and who you dorm with. Study abroad is definitely encouraged here unlike other schools.

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

Financial Aid aside from FAFSA is available, merit scholarships as well!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Like most colleges, try to purchase your textbooks on ebay or through other online resources. Roommate draw is just a matter of luck, otherwise you can pay a bit more for a single. If you have a car, you'll find being on campus more bearable since Redlands is small and limited as a town with a few good restaurants and fewer entertainment options (dance clubs, bars, etc.). There's a shuttle to take you around Redlands for free, use it! Take advantage of the OP (Outdoor Program) Trips

Which types of students will excel at your college?

From students who want a planned out 4 years in undergrad to those who want the opportunity to be creative with their education. Business school and Communicative Disorders are strengths of the U. of Redlands.
