    Am learning a lot

    All the faculty is so helpful and interests me in their fields. They have this enthusiasm for their for students which becomes infectous.

    Am enjoying being here

    The place is small and private which can lead to classmates making close relationships.

    Bang for the buck

    The money will also be a problem everywhere you apply but Rockford College wants you and they will do whatever they can do with helping with that. They hand out scholarships, grants and loans.

    Am learning a lot

    The teachers are really interested in your learning. So if you ask questions they will give you the best and detailed answer. They will be available to you at every hour so you could ask them questions about the homework or any problem you might have.

    Am enjoying being here

    You will enjoy being here because you will feel in family. Everyone in campus will make you feel like you have known them for a long time and like you belong. Everyone is friendly so you will enjoy being here and that will make your school work easier to do.

    Bang for the buck

    The money issue isnt too bad, you can get enough money from scholarships to make the budget.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a four year school that is not big and is worth studing at you hould choose Rockford College. It is friendly and education oriented, it is not hard to get accepted you just need to have good grades and a average ACT score.

    Great for these types of students

    It is good for students that like to work in a friendly environment. If you like to work in class rooms that are not huge and one on one teacher student class sessions.

    awesome atmosphere. exceptional staff. perfect for small town kids like myself!

    Tips for prospective students

    talk to the teachers!! take the tour! and ask lots of questions!!! the admissions staff is extremely friendly and are willing to answer your every question-no matter how trivial it seems!

    Academic Rigor

    the classes here are perfect for the small class size learner. personally i have a harder time learning in a big group setting. the classes themselves are designed to help you succeed while also challenging your abilities

    Dorm Life

    the dorms where a tad bit small but it's also a small school with few students actually living on campus.

    Food and Dining

    being a vegetarian, i'd have hoped a liberal arts college would have catered to my kind more but overall there menus are decent sized and the food cards give you (i think) 3 meals a day.

    What to do for fun

    rockford is huge!!! and if the city around it wasn't enough, rc has a lot of clubs and even just hanging out with the awesome students is entertaining.

    Bang for the buck

    totally worth every cent.

    Great for these types of students

    small class learners and small school lovers.

    Clubs and Activities

    they have so many clubs and extras! from yoga to the alternative spring break, you'll never run out of stuff to do! plus they are advocates of students starting and running their own new clubs.

    Campus Safety

    cs is in place but litterally may be used once or twice a year according to the tour guide(he said usually when they are needed its because a freshman got lost(: )

    Academic Rigor

    academic rigor has nothing to do with what level of classes you are in. some of the 100 level classes are exceptionally hard and some of the 300 level courses you could take in your sleep.

    Dorm Life

    dorms are out of date.

    Food and Dining

    food on campus is dull and there is not a large variety. you are better off driving ten minutes into rockford to get a decent meal.

    What to do for fun

    there are several clubs and organizations on campus that provide students with plenty of fun activities on campus, but these organizations usually meet during the day, so students may have conflicting classes or work.

    Bang for the buck

    rockford college is extremely expensive, and you don't get much for that. old furniture and buildings provide current students with questions on where their money is going. commuter students are left walking a half mile from the parking area to any of the classroom buildings.

    Campus Safety

    there are no emergency call boxes on campus, and campus police are not very helpful when it comes to non-emergencies.

    Rockford College has drastically changed my life. It's opened up a world of new ideas, new career paths, and options. I think Rockford College is a spectacular school.

    Tips for prospective students

    The admissions counselors are amazing, but just in case, apply for lots of scholarships before hand. The college is pricey, but well worth it for the quality of education you receive. Just try and cover costs. The college also offers scholarships, which are fantastic.

    Academic Rigor

    I have worked pretty hard to get a 4.0 and I'm proud of it. Classes are challenging and intellectually interesting.

    Dorm Life

    I do not live on campus.

    Food and Dining

    Lion's Den is the campus cafe. It's pretty cool.

    Bang for the buck

    Well worth it.
