Categories Comments Campus Safety I always see campus security around.
Greek Life I don't know a lot about this. I know there are a few sororities and fraternities. They do not have houses though.
Clubs and Activities Midland University is doing a great job of updating a lot of the athletic teams. We are now sponsored by Adidas, which is great.
Great for these types of students Anyone who enjoys knowing almost everyone. A small campus means you see the same people everyday. Fremont itself is not a huge city, but could be considered large to anyone from a small town.
What to do for fun Fremont has a small mall that has a movie theater. You can go bowling. I really just enjoy hanging out with my friends in the dorms or apartments.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is alright. I love the dessert options, they never let me down.
Dorm Life The dorms could use some updating like air conditioning and a little modernization.
Academic Rigor Professors are always pushing you to do your best and they expect a lot from you. I enjoy that classes are small and most professors know you by your first name.
Tips for prospective students Make friends in the apartments so you can do your laundry for free. Take advantage of the free membership to the YMCA.
In three sentences I really enjoy that it is a small campus. All the professors are kind and understanding. It feels like we're one big, happy family.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This program is great for self-learners and self-motivated people. About half of the classes are online.
Tips for prospective students The adult learning program is fast paced, so do not take on too many classes at one time. Two classes per session is plenty.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I have an evening class that doesn't end until 9pm or later, and I feel perfectly safe walking half-way across campus to my car. Fremont in general is a safe town, and the campus is even more so.
Bang for the buck While Midland University may have the typically more expensive tuition, MU is really good about providing financial support. The academics, not to mention the networking opportunities, give you 101 pennies for every dollar you spend!
What to do for fun There is always something interesting happening on campus. From sports events to art shows to guest speakers to talent shows, contests, and intramural sports there is something for everyone to do. Fremont has plenty of good restaurants, lakes, bowling alleys, a water park, and one of the largest YMCA's around. All this and Fremont is only about 30 minutes from downtown Omaha as well!
Food and Dining The times I have eaten at the cafeteria the food was good, and with an all-you-can eat policy every meal is worth every penny you pay for it.
Academic Rigor All of my professors have been clear in their expectations, are willing to help with difficult concepts, and open to new ideas.
Tips for prospective students Be aggressive and diligent in pursuing scholarships, ask questions if something is not clear. Do not be afraid to ask a professor or advisor for help, I have yet to meet an unhelpful faculty or staff member! Midland University wants to make YOUR dreams come true; if they don't have the exact major you are looking for, ask about designing your own or creating a customized combination of majors.
In three sentences Midland University has a small-town friendliness combined with big-city academics that gives its students the best of both worlds. The campus is beautiful and conducive to walking or biking to classes; it also has plenty of parking for commuting students and those who live in the dorms. Midland University is a vibrant centerpiece of its community and deserves to be investigated by students around the world.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is easy to get ahold of and are always willing to help. Campus is very safe.
Greek Life There are sororities and Fraternities, but they are all involved in the community and campus. The Greek life at Midland is looked up upon.
Great for these types of students Athletes Choir Drama Religious Nursing Criminal Justice etc.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Recently Dana College in Blair, NE closed and Midland took in a lot of their students and staff, and made them feel welcomed. Dana @ Midland.
Bang for the buck They offer a wide variety of majors, and minors. Once again the staff here at Midland strives to help you with your success, and are very supportive. Midland is a Lutheran school, and the history behind Midland is unique.
What to do for fun Midland offers Greek Life, outdoor sand volleyball courts, and basketball courts. They hold events on the campus green, and have free bowling nights, you get a free membership at the local YMCA, and are offered student discounts at some local businesses.
Food and Dining There is a wide variety of meals offered. We also have daily salad bars, sandwich bars, etc.
Dorm Life Dorm life at Midland has created numerous friendships for me, and I enjoy being in the dorms. We have computers, kitchen area, ice machines, laundry etc.
Academic Rigor Academics is a key factor to your success.
Tips for prospective students Look into playing a sport at Midland. I play Womens Lacrosse and love every minute of it. Athletics is huge on campus, so is academics, and being involved in the community. Stay involved on and off campus in a positive manner. Set a goal for your GPA, and use all your resources available. Such as the library, study groups, teachers, tutors etc.
In three sentences I have found Midland University to be a very welcoming campus. Midland offers great opportunities, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are willing to assist students on a one on one basis. With hard work I will be able to receive my BSN in their 4 year Nursing program, and the campus life, professors, admissions, etc are all very much involved in with me achieving success in both academics and athletics.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is pretty important on the campus.
Greek Life Greek lfe at Midland is kind of unusual. They do not live together. The just get together every weekend and party.
Clubs and Activities A wide variety of clubs and sports at Midland where everyone seems to have fun. The clubs and sports at Midland are not very successful but, everyone still manages to have a good time.
Great for these types of students Great for rich men who like to play a lot of video games.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus It is a christian school, church on campus.
Bang for the buck Way to expensive and not at all what I expected!
What to do for fun Fremont is a small town and there is not much to do for fun. Many of the students go to the lakes and swim but, you can only do that when it is nice outside which limits your fun to the summer. Others resort to partying which affects your grades.
Food and Dining You must eat at their cafetiria and you get minimum choices each day. The food is not expected to be like a five star dinning but, I woud like more variety and better quality.
Dorm Life Not all dorms at Midland have air conditioning and heating. This gets exhausting durring the summer when it is very hot. There are holes in the ceiling and rooms are very cramped. For the amount of money you pay to attent this University the dorms are not as nice as expected.
Academic Rigor The professors here are not all on the same page. They teach different basic rules for writing and expect you to understand that there is no other way of writing but how that professor writes even when you have two professors teaching opposite curriculum.
Tips for prospective students I would not attend this school if you were a female because males are obviously favored at this University. In addition to that I would make sure you or your parents have a lot of money to send on education here at this institute and unnecessary fines.
In three sentences Midland University has a small and nosey campus where everyone must know everything about you. The teachers are misleading and give you controversial information which makes things confusing. The price of the school versus the quality of the school is poor.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I've never felt scared on Midland's campus. It's a small area where you know quite a few people. If you do feel scared at anytime of the night or day campus security will pick you up on their golf cart and give you a ride.
What to do for fun For fun people go to sporting events, theatre productions, or activites different campus organizations host. Midland also has intramurals you can participate in.
Food and Dining The dining hall is nothing like a home cooked meal from your mom, but they provide quite a few options. They switch it up so you don't eat the same thing everyday.
Dorm Life Dorm life at Midland is awesome! There are coed, only boys, and only girls dorms so you have options. The dorms are a great place to meet people and make friends.
Academic Rigor Midland pushes you to learn as a student. As a student it is up to you how much you want to apply yourself and learn.
Tips for prospective students For students that are coming here don't be afraid to jump in and join campus groups and activities. The more you engage yourself the better your college experience is going to be!
In three sentences Midland University is an awesome college. It's a small campus so you are able to meet a lot of people and makes lots of friends. Midland also has lots of areas to get involved and make a difference.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is very safe. We have security on duty 24/7 so if you ever get back to campus late they will escort you from the parking lot to your dorm if need be.
What to do for fun There is always something you can find to do on campus. Our student center has a ping pong table, pool tables, air hockey, and big screen TV that stays open until 11 pm. There are sports games and performances throughout the year. On occasion clubs will also offer different events.
Food and Dining The food here is of course not a 5 star restaurant, but they do provide a large selection. In addition to hot meals, pizza, and a soup of the day, there is an amazing salad bar and sandwich bar and have recently added a pasta bar that appeals to both vegetarians and meat-lovers. The desserts are simply to die for along with other food options.
Dorm Life At Midland there are different dorms that appeal to everyone. There is an all freshmen coed dorm along with two single sex dorms for males and females. There are also two upperclassmen apartment options both on campus and off.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor at Midland is challenging, but manageable. Professors here want to push you to be better, but at the end of the day they are still here to help you and want to see you be successful. They really care about their students.
Tips for prospective students Go outside of your comfort zone and do something that you would not normally do such as taking a class outside of your major or try out for a sports team. College is really what you make it to be and here at Midland there really are no boundaries.
In three sentences Midland is a great college if you are looking for a smaller school with more personal teacher-student relationships. You have the ability to simultaneously experience a large range of areas such as sports, performing arts, and various clubs. Participation in these all at once are not common at larger schools.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is always campus security that is out. The only thing that I would like to see is them put up cameras in case peoples cars get broken into or hit.
Greek Life I myself am not in a sorority but they do have them on campus. And every year they do the Greek Games where each Greek group competes for the trophy and bragging rights. Also they have the Greek formal every year. and all the Greek life always do things around the campus to help raise money.
Clubs and Activities They have Frats and sororities that you can join. They have fine arts you can do. All different kinds of intramural activities.
Great for these types of students People that like to get involved. Athletes, Midland is very much so a Student Athlete college. Majority of students there play some sort of sport.
Bang for the buck Over all Midland is just the best fit for me because I went to a small high school. I graduated with 46 kids, so the fact that it is not much different from high school was nice for me.
What to do for fun They have different activities that they encourage you to do to be more active with the schools. They have plays, musicals, dances, performers, comedians, bowling nights, just a lot of different fun things to get involved with.
Food and Dining They have a verity of food to offer. You always have a choice of salad bar, cereal, main course, and veggie burgers are always available upon request. And it is all you can eat.
Dorm Life They have a lot of different activities that you can do so you get to know more people. They always try to make you feel welcomed and they do what they can to get you to open up.
Academic Rigor They hold their students to high expectations, and want them to do well in whatever it is they are planning on doing with their lives.
Tips for prospective students If you are looking for a school that is medium sized and you can get to know your professors and where you are not just a number but a name, Midland is a great school for that. They have a lot to offer you. Another good thing about Midland is they encourage you to take all different kinds of classes (art, music, etc.) it gives you a wider verizon.
In three sentences Midland has a lot to offer, and because it is a smaller school you get more one-on-one time with your professors. Your professors offer you any way you may need to contact them if you need help with anything or have some questions. Also they do a good job with student athletes, by making sure most classes are offered during the day so it does not interfere with practices.
