REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingLacks breadth, makes up for in depth.The core curriculum classes are tough, a shock for even the most intelligent first year students as you will often times get the highest level professors and expectations from day one. If you can make it through these classes and settle into your major and develop relationships with those professors you will find yourself learning a lot in the classroom and through the really unique opportunity for close contact with professors. Overall, the rigor at this school is significantly above that at Drury, Missouri State, Mizzou, and Hannibal-Lagrange after speaking with friends attending those schools. The setback for Jewell is that it is so small, there is little room for error of changing majors if you want to graduate in four years. However, over %80 of students do. Second, there is not the breadth of fun, interesting classes, or career focused classes you might find at larger universities.
