Describe your college in three sentences.

a great education at a lower rate than other local colleges. beautiful and easy to navigate campus. a top 100 nationally ranked school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

teachers are tools! make sure your teachers know who you are in can come in handy during final grades or for a future references.

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

science classes have had me working over-time on my studies. lots of availability to free tutoring and supplemental instruction.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

i lived in the older dorms. naturally they did not have air conditioning and were outdated. the newer dorms seem amazing, 5-stars to the new dorms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

mostly gordon food service. would like to see more fresh foods and less gmo's. nice assortment of desserts, fruits, and cereal.

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

movies at miller auditorium. downtown kalamazoo is endless fun. close to lakes and beautiful nature preserves and trails. there is something for everyone with hundreds of student sponsored clubs.

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

yes!! i feel that i am getting an education equivalent or even better in occupational therapy than i would at a more expensive institution.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

the valleys! definitely a "freshmen experience" living in the older farther away dorms. typically all freshmen live here and is a great way to meet your peers on campus.

accessibility friendly campus for low vision/disabled. culturally diverse.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

truly something for everyone

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

put on many great fundraisers and activities to support the local kalamazoo community. a great way to get involved and make connections.

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

24-7 campus security. help call boxes located all around campus. a few bad incidents have happened, but typically past midnight. during the day i feel safe alone, but i would never walk around any college campus alone at night.
