Review of University of Rio Grande

from Bidwell, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

This school is a good one. I've gone to several different schools and this is my favorite one so far. I would rate them high.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved in the activities. There is so much to do here, even though it is a small campus.

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

Some classes are easier than others, but thats the way it is at every school. There are alot of people around willing to help you if you need it.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most people are nice. The rooms are good. Can control your own heat or air. The Resident Advisers and other people are always coming up with activities for those on campus to do.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food has its days where it could be better, but over all, it is pretty good. There is the buffet cafeteria and then cafe to eat on campus. The cafe has many choices, plus daily specials. It is pretty good. There is also Bob Evans and a McDonald's within walking distance.

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

We have an area called the Red Zone that has TV's, pool, Wii, and a big screen for movies. There is the gym, and pool, and other areas in the gym to play games. There is always something going on campus, whether it is a big outdoor movie, free bowling, or a dance - there is rarely a dull moment

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

University of Rio Grande is my 4th collage. Yet, it has become my favorite one quickly. I have only been here since the fall semester and I love it here. Right away, everyone made me feel welcomed.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The Greeks paint the rock. There is a huge rock outside the cafeteria that is decorated and painted differently almost every week.. You never know what you will see next on that rock and it makes it interesting to notice.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for any type students, especially those interested in education. The education program is an amazing one, as are several of the other ones.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

This school has a variety of ways to get people involved. They have multiple clubs and activities. There are the Greek organizations, religious groups, choirs, bands, student senate, and so much more. Almost anyone can find a group to join, and if they cant, they can probably create one

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are several sororities and fraternities on campus. They have a wide variety of people - it is not just the pretty popular people like in the movies. Even if your not in a Greek organization, they make you feel welcomed and included. They try to find ways to include everyone. I've been to schools with Greeks before, but this one is the only one where I felt I could connect and be friends with the Greeks, even though I am not a Greek.

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

The campus police is right across the street from one of the dorms. Any time you need them, they are there for you. They watch the grounds every night - and day - and even go through the dorms when called. They make sure everyone is safe and that nothing bad happens to any of the students.
