While cheaper compared to other private schools, Coe is not for the brightest members of society, nor the most liberal. The people who do well here are from small, sheltered Iowan towns and don't know much about the world.

Coe is expensive, even after scholarships. However, if you want to learn, it is amazing. Just understand that you will be most successful if you put in work beyond what is expected for your classes--much like in real life.

There are so many unusual opportunities at Coe that you wouldn't have anywhere else. I attribute these opportunities to our incredible staff. The professors and faculty here really do care about the students, and will do anything they can to help and make sure you get the most out of your education.

I was expecting Coe to offer me MUCH less financial aid than they did. Not everyone can go out of state to a private college and pay less than her friends that are staying in my home state and paying more.

It depends what type of financial aid you recieve from this school if it should be worth for you to spend on it. I have a great financial aid package actually through the help of this college! Because I received the full-tuition scholarship from Coe called the Diversity Leaders Scholarship. Anyone who is a minority and is accepted and is thinking of attending Coe can apply for this scholarship. I also know a man who has a full ride to Coe for his football skills. There is always opportunities out there!
