Categories Rating Comments In three sentences This school has the best bang for your buck as one instructor here would say. It has small classes with instructors that know you by name and the office staff are always happy to help you with transferring or even signing up for the classes that you need. Ridgewater is a great way to start your college career.
Tips for prospective students Take full advantage of all the helpful programs and seminars they provide.
Academic Rigor People in community colleges seem to be more concerned with their education than those at four-year institutions. Everybody is there to learn, which keeps distractions at a minimum.
Dorm Life I go to the Hutchinson campus. They do not provide dorms.
Food and Dining Smack-dab in the center of Hutchinson, there are many places you can go out to eat. Ridgewater also provides a restaurant in the school.
What to do for fun There is a mall in Hutchinson as well as a movie theater and other fun places to shop and walk around.
Bang for the buck The instructors do an incredible job with their students and Ridgewater is extremely affordable.
Great for these types of students Ridgewater is great for Post-Secondary students, first and second year college students as well as people going back to college. The classes are very lenient and give time for you to care for your family and go back to school.
Clubs and Activities There are some clubs, but they are small, seeing as it is a very small school.
Campus Safety This is an extremely safe campus. I've never heard of so much as a robbery from a car.
