    Am learning a lot

    Doane College is a small college therefore class sizes are small and the material gets relayed and related to you in new and innovative ways. Teachers have more time to focus on the students because of the smaller class sizes. Doane is a great choice especially for teaching, musical, and human sciences majors.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is always alive whether it's with school planned activities such as dances, or video game tournament, or student planned activities like intramural sports or cutting loose on the weekends. Doane always keeps you involved and that's why the campus feels more like a community rather than making you feel like you're just a number at a big school.
    Bang for the buck

    Doane is an expensive school, but with the expense comes a great education, if you plan on being a teacher no school is better than Doane. With smaller class sizes the teacher really gets to know you and with a smaller staff the teachers you have once you're likely to have again, and they will know exactly how to help you succeed, The teaching staff at Doane is top notch and will do anything to see their students succeed.
    Tips for prospective students

    Any student thinking about a smaller college should consider Doane. It is an old school with lots of heritage and tradition. The class size is small and attention on the student is the main focus of the college. A small campus always keeps everyone involved. If you want to be a part of a plethora of activities and meet many new friends than Doane College is right for you.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who love campus involvement, there is almost always something going on all over campus. It's also great for both the free minded, and structural based thinkers as Doane will challenge your perspective and change how you see the world. Great for students who want a small college and emphasis on student success, a teacher will always stay after class or come in early to help.

    The learning environment is wonderful. The classes are small enough to get one on one time with teachers. Most of the teachers try to make you and others better and try to help you succeed. Its a wonderful school!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you can a good college, try Doane. Small classes, Doane faculity tries their hardest for you to graduate.
    Academic Rigor

    Awesome!
    Dorm Life

    Most dorms have been renovated. All the dorms are nice.
    Food and Dining

    They have a cafeteria, Tiger Inn, which is fast food and a coffee shop.
    What to do for fun

    Play sports. Doane Sac always tries getting something fun for students to do almost every movie. There are events that are put up, for example Casino Night. Also, Doane can get a night to have a free movie at the downtown movie theatre. You can go look at the art gallery in the library, if showing, the plays that theatre department puts on.
    Greek Life

    Greek life is big here.
    Campus Safety

    The campus security can be strict, but they are trying to keep everyone safe.

    Am learning a lot

    According to www.doane.edu/Athletics/ 134 students were named scholar athletes just this last year, and since Doane is a small school, I find that extremely impressive. What I can also tell you, is that I'm one of those 134 students, and honored to be. I've loved every minute at Doane, every class, and every track practice. In the 8 months I've spent at the school I can't tell you there's ever been a day that I haven't learned something whether it be in the class room, or on the track, at Doane there's always something to be discovered.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love this college, it's only been a year, but I'll give it 5 stars across the board. The campus is beautiful, the faculty are amazing, and we've really got one heck of a track team. I really couldn't picture myself anywhere else, I feel at home, I enjoy my professors, and my coaches, what more could you ask for?
    Bang for the buck

    Doane has all the help a student could ever ask for. Student advisers, free tutors, a writing center in order to get help on those pesky college papers (just kidding, of course.) and your professors are more then willing to help out too. Sure, it's expensive, but it's more than worth it for all the help a student is able to receive. At any other large university, you're just a number, but not at Doane. Your professors often know your name by the end of the first week of class. If any of those aren't worth the money for tuition, I don't know what is.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to class, don't slack off, and ask for help. At times college can be a little frustrating, life gets in the way, and you won't want to go to class, but trust me when I say it'll be worth it if you do. College isn't easy, but neither is life, and that's what it's supposed to prepare you for, isn't it? And make sure to talk to your Professors if you need help, they'll be more than happy to hear it, and willing to help.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for student athletes, students who want to learn, who work hard, go to class. It's as easy as that.

    Am learning a lot

    The class sizes are small so you can get the extra help you need. The teachers work with you to make it possible to get the best grade you can. There are also a lot of extra things such as the writing center to help you achieve the highest grade. Learning as much as possible is definately the goal
    Am enjoying being here

    There are many different activies provided by SAC (Student Activities Council) to keep students busy during their extra time. These activities cover a wide variety of things; plays, concerts, comedians, etc. This gives the students a time to bond with each other and make great friendships. This helps you enjoy yourself as much as possible.
    Bang for the buck

    Doane is well rounded with the focus on students. It is expensive because it is a private college, but those extra expenses help provide you with the best education possible.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared for expenses. College is not cheap. Try to enjoy yourself. College is also supposed to be fun. Try to take advantage of all of the things they provide for you. Different activites or discount that will help you have the best experience.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who might want more attention in their classroom. Students who prefer smaller class sizes and a smaller campus.

    Did learn a lot

    The classes that you will take at Doane will be private school sized classes (being that Doane is a private school). My classes ranged from 10-14 people. It was great. If you needed extra help, the professors are right there to help and they make sure that you know they are there for YOU. The small classes helps the learning environment in being that there are not as many distractions. The professors are excellent in their teaching and knowledge and they show it off well. Whether you are a fast learner or it takes you some time to understand things, Doane is a great school for learning.
    Did enjoy being here

    For my own personal preference, I don't think I'm much of a small college person. Doane is increasing it's incoming freshman numbers as the years go by but I felt as though I were in high school all over again there. If you like familiarity, Doane is for you. Everyone knows your name. I was on the track team and I loved it. Being a part of clubs and activities on campus will definitely help your college experience. Doane hosts many events and is always looking out for all its students. At Doane, you will find close ties and friendships for life.
    Bang for the buck

    Doane has many scholarship opportunities for everyone! You just have to apply and you have to ask and stay on top of things! For me, I was on an athletic scholarship and I also had an academic scholarship. I basically had everything paid for, it was awesome. The great things is, Doane wants you to be a student at their school and they will try everything in their power to do so. Because it is a private school, it is costly but you are getting the best education in Nebraska that is possible. Apply for all scholarships that you can! Talk to advisors!
    Tips for prospective students

    -When you decide Doane is for you, don't hesitate to fill out residence hall applications to get your pick, rooms go fast!
    -Find out where all your classes are BEFORE the day of classes!
    -Attend Orientation Week! It's a great way to meet the incoming freshmen and get a feel for the campus before the upperclassmen come!
    -Get a good meal plan. You will be in Crete, NE so there aren't the biggest picks of restaurants around town if you end up hungry after dinner.
    -Coordinate things with your roommate so you both are on the same page! (I've seen too many clash-ups with roommates before!)
    -Check your mail frequently. Doane has so many things going on ALL the time and they make sure you know it! Also, there have been too many times where I show up to class and it ends up being cancelled.
    -Take notes. (Self-explanatory)
    -Don't skip class. Doane has a policy in which it's vital to come to class. When you start missing, grades start dropping.
    -Have fun! It's college. Don't hold anything back.

    Great for these types of students

    -Students who like familiar things.
    -Students who want to be in close quarters with others.
    -Don't wanna walk 15 minutes to class, you won't have to! It takes about 5 minutes to walk to every class on Doane Campus.
    -Students who enjoy school spirit. Doane is proud of not only it's alumni and academics, but it's athletics, and clubs. A majority of Doane students play a sport, so go support!

    Doane is a place where I feel I can expand my horizons both in the classroom and out. It has a beautiful campus and a great learning environment. Doane promotes a very helpful learning environment for me.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved around campus. Take advantage of the free opportunities that Doane has to offer. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
    Academic Rigor

    I do feel like Doane has a variety of subjects that one could study but Doane is also primarily an education based campus.
    Dorm Life

    There are great faculty that are always willing to help you out with your living situation. Some of the dorms need extensive repair though.
    Food and Dining

    This is where I feel Doane could improve. I like the to go lunch that they offer but otherwise there aren't many healthy alternatives for students in the food department.
    What to do for fun

    Stop Day! Doane sponsors a lot of student activities from concerts to ping pong tournaments. Relay for Life was fun and what made it even better was the fact that it all was for a good cause. Doane is great at promoting all kinds of fun around campus.
    Bang for the buck

    I think being a part of the Doane community is definitely worth the money.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I think the coolest thing on our campus that we do is ring a bell called Merrill for special events on campus. Also the candle lighting ceremony for the freshman is a great community builder among the students.
    Great for these types of students

    Proactive, athletic, critical thinking, and fun-loving.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are too many clubs and activities on campus that no one would be able to count them all. Also students have the opportunity to make up their own club if they want to through student congress.
    Greek Life

    Doane greek life is not nationally affiliated but they do sponsor a lot of campus activities too. For example, they put on dances and parties. They are also very involved in other things around campus other than their own sorority or fraternity events.
    Campus Safety

    Safety is always there when you need them and they are personable. They know you by name and ask you about yourself. They are even willing to walk with you if you feel that you are unsafe.
