Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	They have a chapel that is great for those students that are away from their hometown and would still love to participate and meet new people.
What to do for fun	I go to the gym with friends.
Food and Dining	The cafeteria is right on campus and serve a variety of healthy choices for students.
Dorm Life	I live off campus but I hear great things about the dorms.
Tips for prospective students	Be prepared for class, don't think that just because this college is small that it is going to be easy because they expect the most of you.
In three sentences	Finlandia is a great school. With the small class sizes, it allows you to learn in a motivating atmosphere. This school is perfect for those who love more one on one instructor to student help.

Campus Safety	I always felt safe living on campus.
What to do for fun	Get involved with campus life. The chaplain is great for ideas: Mackinac Bridge Walk, sledding, mission trip. Explore the beautiful environment offered in the Upper Peninsula.
Food and Dining	Food was good. Wish the dining hall hours were a little more accommodating. Wish the price for meals wasn't so expensive.
Dorm Life	Could use less writing on the doors. Rooms were nice. Need better shower heads.
Academic Rigor	You get out of each class how much you put into each class.
Tips for prospective students	Be prepared for the cold weather. Get involved in college life. Be on time to class. ALWAYS talk to your prof if you feel you need help with a subject.
In three sentences	Effective, personable, caring instructors. Expensive to attend, but worth it for the small school environment. Always looking toward improving all areas of college life.

Campus Safety	Security is right downstairs. They cant do a whole lot to solve any issues, but they try.
Bang for the buck	For the amount of money that you pay you don't get a whole lot. The facilities are up kept, but not to the greatest they could be.
Food and Dining	The times to eat are short and the food isn't that great, but you kinda get used to it after a while.
Dorm Life	I like that everyone is close. There aren't many activities to do in the dorms, but once you find friends it is fun.
Academic Rigor	The programs change a lot. The classes are not that hard unless you get a teacher that doesn't know what they are doing.

Clubs and Activities	Many clubs to choose from and activities are always being emailed out to students.
What to do for fun	Play sports, piano, study.
Tips for prospective students	Get involved!
In three sentences	Small classes are great so that students have personal time with the teacher. The attendance policy keeps students in line and attending classes. The buildings are close together so it is not far to walk between in the cold winter.

Tips for prospective students	You can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
In three sentences	Finlandia is the school you attend if you want the smallest class sizes, where the instructors can speak with you one - on - one. This University is the one where you find yourself knowing everybody's name and there favorite hobby; feeling as if you're really part of the University. This College is the the one you attend if you like out door recreation as well as being able to shop.
