    It's a dry campus, and not a big partying school. So if that's what you're into, then I wouldn't recommend Valpo. Since I don't drink or go to parties, I'm okay with it. However, I wish there were more fun (non lamish) activities to go to during the school year.

    Its expensive, but if you can afford it its worth every penny. If you talk to financial aid they will do their best to make it affordable. Most profs are fantastic and can teach from experience. There are a few iffy profs. but they can easily be avoided.

    Not going to lie, Valpo is really expensive. However, for me personally it is totally worth the cost. Valpo has such a great environment to live, work, and learn in. All the professors and staff seem to really care about the students and the academics are fantastic.

    If you can get aid and scholarships from them you can be alright. Otherwise tuition is up to around $40,000/yr.
