    Am learning a lot

    After only a single semester I feel like I've learned a lot from all of my classes so far. Even classes that I thought I would hate have something to learn from. The professors are amazing and willing to talk to you and answer questions you may have, even if it is unrelated to the course material. Other students are also willing to teach others what they have learned so far.
    Am enjoying being here

    The small campus is great for me, and with only 2,500 kids the professors have a lot of opportunity to get to know their students. I am an honor's student here and the program is wonderful. It has forced me to explore cultural activities I never thought I'd enjoy. Even outside of campus there is plenty to do. UE's location offers great ways to get away from the books for a while.
    Bang for the buck

    Although the school is very expensive (about $34,000 a year), over 90% of students receive some sort of financial aid and/or scholarships. These scholarships are for large amounts with many different categories for all types of students.
    Tips for prospective students

    A campus visit is a must! This is the only way to fully understand why everyone says the professors and staff are so friendly. The university doesn't put on a show during their open houses either. Everyone acts as if it was just any other day. Whether you attend Road Trip, Scholarship Day, an open house, or schedule a private visit get to the campus and experience it for yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    The University of Evansville is definitely for students who are looking at an academic college. Most students are there on academic scholarship, or are serious about their studies. Although this is the case there are still plenty of parties and activities to encourage people to get away from their books and enjoy the college experience.

    Am learning a lot

    UE really has so much to offer in terms of learning, especially on the global front. Not only have I learned a lot from my professors in the classroom on campus, but I've learned so much from the students around me as well. With 8% of students international, how can you not learn something? Plus, the study abroad programs are great. I attend Harlaxton College, UE's English campus, last spring, and this fall I'm studying in Rennes, France through CIEE. Studying abroad has taught me so much about myself, about the world, and, of course, about my subjects of study, too!
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love UE!! Although the dorms aren't always the greatest and I complain about the food a lot, the students, professors, and faculty make up for it. I've made so many friends, and from all around the world, too! I could never think of studying anywhere else!
    Bang for the buck

    Although UE is a wonderful place to be, it is expensive. $34,000 a year is a lot of money. Especially since it doesn't always seem like that money is going places that I would like it to. However, they are really great about trying to get you the greatest amount of aid as possible, which was a big plus for me. The fact that I pay, after the scholarships and work study, the same amount as attending an in-state college.... That's banking.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go for a campus visit--during the school year. You need to be on the campus to truly get a feel for what life is like there. And don't be afraid to contact the admissions office if you have questions, either. They're always really helpful and really friendly.
    Great for these types of students

    I would say everyone, really. Although, if you're looking to party your way through school, be forewarned that it's a dry campus! Also, there is a Greek pressence on campus. The fraternities are all right around the corner (literally). However, the sororities don't have any house; has to do with an old Indiana law that never got thrown out. But although there is a Greek pressence, it's certainly not the only thing on campus either. There's also a really strong international pressence, and some really great organizations to go along with that: International Student Club, I-House, and I-Pals. Honestly, there truly is something for everyone here.

    Am learning a lot

    As a liberal arts college, the University of Evansville is expanding my mind through my general education in addition to teaching me about my interests through my major classes. Although keeping up with my studies takes dedication on my part and a large time commitment, the rewards of my expanded knowledge are worth it. A student can also learn a lot outside of the classroom from the many international students on campus and the events these student put on. My mind has also been opened to the beauty of the theatre program on campus through attending the productions. A student also has the opportunity to learn about oneself through living away from home and having the interaction of living with a roommate. In all areas, including in and out of the classroom, I am learning as much as I can here at U.E.
    Am enjoying being here

    With many activities going on constantly on campus, there is always something to do when you are not studying. I enjoy much time in the student fitness center in addition to attending Division I athletic events and participating in athletics myself through the dance team. In addition to athletics, there are a myriad of clubs available to join on campus and countless opportunities to get involved. If you are looking for an interactive campus, this is the place for you. Because the University of Evansville is not a suitcase campus, as a student you have more of an opportunity to form lasting friendships with your fellow students. With some activity always going on or studying to do, I am immensely enjoying my time on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Although the University of Evansville is a private university and therefore more expensive than many public colleges, the extra dollars are definitely worth what you get out of the university. Also, the financial aid office is extremely helpful and works with you to help you come up with a payment plan and in answering any questions you may have. My mind has been expanded through this liberal arts education and through interactions with students. This campus really turns into your new home once you arrive and you find a secondary family in your fellow students and professors. Because the campus is so small, you really have the opportunity to form lasting relationships with your professors. They are always eager to answer any questions or write recommendations for you. In the long run, the education and relationships you obtain from this university far outweighs the increased price for being a private school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not overlook this university solely because of finances. They give phenomenal scholarships and are extremely helpful. Also, be sure to take the time to get to know all the diverse students around you on campus. Much can be learned from a simple conversation with an international student and lasting bonds can be formed. As a prospective student, I encourage you to physically come to campus and take a tour and even spend the night with a current student (this can be set up by the admissions office). This will help you to get the true feel of campus and ensure you are well informed before making your decision.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking for a college to seem like a second home, this is the place for you. With a small student body, this university is great for those students desiring to be more than a number. If you are looking for a college where you are familiar with the majority of people and where all your professors know you and are genuinely concerned with your education, you will find your home at U.E. Because this is a Division I school, the University of Evansville is great for those students looking for the full college experience in a small school environment while desiring a quality education.

    Am learning a lot

    While some of the classes seem quite similar to high school honor and AP courses, there are many, even at the 100-level that are challenging. The professors like what they are teaching which makes the lectures interesting and they put what they are trying to say into a way for college students to understand. Also, they make the students try for the answer and make them think outside of the box for how to explain problems.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since it is a small school, it is easy to know most of the students here. This makes it great for getting involved in activities such as Greek Life, Student Government or International Club. There are so many different organizations that you will always find something to do.
    Bang for the buck

    Because it is a private school, tuition and other fees are really expensive, but it's worth it. Many of the facilities are brand new and have the best technology which makes paying this much worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go potluck to find your roommate your freshman year: they are great at pairing up people who you will get along with well and have similar interests as you.
    Great for these types of students

    This university is great for students who are looking into studying abroad since there are so many choices to choose from, and your scholarships will travel with you wherever you go. Also there is a really good Physical Therapy and Nursing program. It is great for Engineering students too.

    Am learning a lot

    One of the main reasons why I wanted to come to UE was what I would learn here. For a small school, it has an exceptionally good and recognized music program. All the professors who have taught my classes so far, whether music or Major American Writers I, have been dedicated and knowledgeable. Although, musician that I am, I gripe about being forced to study biology, the general education requirements are actually somewhat flexible. The gen ed classes are divided into categories such as American Traditions and Science and Technology. Students can then choose a certain number of classes from each category. Best of all, the British class offered at UE's sister campus in England can be substituted for the requirements in two categories.

    All freshmen at UE take two gen ed courses that cannot be replaced or skipped - World Cultures and First Year Seminar. Although these classes are complained about a lot, I found them helpful. They prepare students for writing papers and giving presentations in future classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I definitely enjoy being here, even though I prefer the country to the city. The main campus is small enough to walk across in ten minutes, and most of the buildings are very nice. Since it is a small school, classes are not huge, and I feel that the professors are readily available. There are over 160 clubs and organizations on campus, plus Greek life, so there is always plenty to do. (UE is a dry campus, though... at least, officially dry.) The Ridgeway University Center, which houses the bookstore, cafeteria, convenience shop, cafe, Eykamp auditorium, and many offices, is a wonderful resource for playing pool, watching TV, studying, getting on the computer, or hanging out with friends on the couches.
    Bang for the buck

    The University of Evansville is not a cheap school and I feel like they rip us off with the meal plans. However, they are very good at giving scholarships (check their website - there are almost twenty awards listed). Another thing that impressed me is their study abroad program. UE owns a college campus in England called Harlaxton, and a semester's tuition there for a UE student is the same as a semester in Evansville. Financial aid and scholarships follow you over as well (but you have to pay for the airplane ticket). Many students here study abroad at some point, and all the ones I've spoken with tell me it was the highlight of their college experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to come and visit. Full of Hoosier hospitality, UE does an excellent job of showing people around and making them feel welcome. Every winter there is a unique program called RoadTrip for highschool seniors who have applied to UE and been accepted. These students are picked up by bus and transported to UE, where they get to spend a couple of nights in a dorm with current UE students and attend special events. I did this when I was a senior, and it was a very helpful and enjoyable experience for me. I felt like a UE college student without the homework.
    Great for these types of students

    There is really a wide variety of people on this campus. I've made friends with people with health problems and disabilities, people from other countries, people from Evansville, people who like to party, people who don't, people who work hard in class, people who slack off, people very active in fraternities and sororities, and people who have no interest in Greek life. UE is what you make of it.

    I have not even been at Evansville for a full semester, and I am already learning a lot. The World Cultures class is really neat because you read books from all over the world from many different time periods. It allows for some unique insight into our world and problems we face. One of the coolest classes I have is Education 200: Intro to Diversity. We talk about the differences and similarities in races and cultures and how these comparisons might transfer into the classroom. This class is all about how to be culturally competent.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is a great campus to be a part of. It is such an involved campus. If one small group has an event, then all the other groups help out and add to that event to make it even more interesting. The students, staff, and faculty are so nice; everyone is always coming up to you to see how everything is going in and out of your classes.
    Bang for the buck

    University of Evansville is a private school. It does cost quite a bit, about 37,000 a year for students living on campus. However, don't let this stop you. They have a great financial aid office, and they are always willing to help out as needed. They have some great scholarships as well. Despite the price, the school really is one of those schools were you get bang for your buck. The professors really know what they are talking about, the facilities are great, and the atmosphere is exceptional. Beyond that, the school is in a big city with lots of tourist attractions, yet the campus has about 2,300 students on a compact campus. You don't feel over run by the city.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tip is to really look into any school that you are interested in. Visiting the campus is a great way to get a feel for the school. Talk to the students and teachers while you are there. If the campus doesn't feel right or you are not comfortable on campus, then chances are that school is not for you. Don't go somewhere just because everyone else wants you to go there.
    Great for these types of students

    University of Evansville is great for a types of students. There are some jocks, preppy kids, and nerds on campus. There are some students that go above and beyond and some students that just make it through. There are a lot of international students and quite a few students who are physically and mentally handicapped. There are many students on campus that have learning disabilities. This is one of the best things about UE, the diversity.

    Am learning a lot

    The University may not be the most academically challenging school in the nation, but there are so many options to learn outside of the classroom. I have learned a lot about other cultures through the diverse student population and I feel that after only one year, UE has made me a global citizen.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love UE. The professors are welcoming and helpful. The other students are happy to be here. People really care about you.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is expensive. The only objection I have is that it is not well known outside of the Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois area.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do a campus visit. It was only after my campus visit and talking to professors that I knew UE was the place for me.
    Great for these types of students

    Motivated students who want to get the most out of their college experience. UE offers a lot of cultural activities that students can benefit from.

    The teachers here are phenomenal and are very helpful in class and out. When signing up for classes for my first semester here, I was really worried and didn't know what to do, but my adviser was really helpful and was really easy to get along with. He ended up being one of my teachers and his classes are great! The teachers here teach you and prepare you for future test and for the outside world. Also, it is very beneficial being in small classes because you get the attention that you need. Even if you are in a class full of 20 people, the teacher still learns your name and gets to know you.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here! The people are here are amazing and very friendly. They are also very helpful. The dorm life is better than what I could have expected and it's not as crazy as the movies make it. The environment is very laid back and you always have an opportunity to be involved in some way.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is worth the money and the money is very well spent. It is very reasonable and you won't be wasting your money by coming here.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are from the south, beware of bland food! Bring spices from home and barbecue sauce! Also, buy your warm clothing here and not from home. The clothes are made differently and you will be freezing in the fall and winter if you are wearing sweaters and coats from back home. I'm from Texas and I'm going to have to buy North Face pretty soon.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are a prospective Theater major, Writing/Creative Writing major, Physical Therapy major, or Nursing major, this is the perfect place for you. We dominate in those areas, especially Theater. It is very competitive to go get into, but you know you are good if you get accepted into the program.

    So far, Evansville really seems like the place where education opportunities are in abundance. From everything I have heard and read, the teachers seem really involved in their students success in everything they do.
    Will enjoy being here

    I really think I would enjoy going to this school. There are so many different clubs and bands that I know I would highly enjoy being a part of. On top of that, there are so many volunteer opportunities available as well as athletic teams and groups to join. The atmosphere is really appealing.
    Bang for the buck

    This school definitely seems worth the money. Even with the many scholarships and grants they give, the education Evansville provides seems priceless.

    Am learning a lot

    One of the reasons I chose to attend UE was for the academic experience. The curriculum is difficult and challenging, but I didn’t want to go to a school where I would make easy A’s. The classes are hard; however, there are many opportunities for you to get help if you need it. Professors have office hours, there are supplemental instruction sessions, tutors are absolutely free, and the writing center helps edit papers for free. You also have your academic advisor that is always available to help you and point you in the right direction. I will admit that some classes are tougher than I would like, but with all the resources I have here, I’m still making good grades.
    Am enjoying being here

    I definitely enjoy UE. The atmosphere was another of my deciding factors when I chose to go here. The people are absolutely wonderful. When I walked on campus, I knew that I belonged. Everyone gets along and respects everyone else. Of course there are cliques and such, but it’s a school, all schools are like that. The professors and other staff members treat students as equals and care about your daily life and success. The other students are polite and nice to everyone. Plus, everyone dresses decently and behaves well. I really like how collectively mature campus is. Also, the social life is wonderful. It’s a small campus but there are many organizations to be a part of. Greek life is quite a big deal on campus as well as the over 160 campus organizations from Quidditch Club to Chemistry Club. Not to mention that the campus puts on activities nearly every day to give students options.
    Bang for the buck

    I have to say that I think UE is worth the money you pay to attend. Yes, it is an expensive school, but there are so many opportunities for financial aid. If you truly want to attend this school, the people here will do what they can to make it happen. The personal attention is absolutely wonderful. I love not feeling like a number in the crowd. My professors know my name and know what to do to help me succeed. I have made so many friends and been given so many opportunities just because I attend this university. It is absolutely worth every penny.
    Tips for prospective students

    My number one tip is to visit campus. I firmly believe that you won’t know whether you really like or really don’t like a college until you visit. Even spend the night if you want to. Attend a mock class. Talk to your potential future professors. Basically: Know what you’re getting in to before you sign the check. It’s important that your college works for you and has what you want. I think everyone can find their niche, whether it’s at UE or somewhere else.
    Great for these types of students

    UE is great for students who want the homey feel of a small campus. It’s good for students who want to recognize the people they see on campus every day. You’ll get to know the people in your classes and you’ll get to know the staff members that you spend time with. If you’re looking for a big campus and a big community, UE just isn’t for you.

    At UE with the different classes selections based on your major. I soon discovered with UE's help that the major I originally selected was one that was far from my career goal. UE help me realize what I really wanted to major in!
    Am enjoying being here

    Coming from sunny California, I was a little unsure how well I would be adjusting. After just one semester, I have found I couldn't attend any other college/university except for UE. The students, teachers, staff and the entire Evansville community are genuinely nice people who are there to help you when you need it. I couldn't imagine any other University as warm as Evansville, even in the winter! You are never idle at the University, there is always something to do. I really enjoy participating in community volunteering events as I feel that I need to give back. I am so fortunate to be here!
    Bang for the buck

    The one draw back, UE is quite expensive for out of state students. I have had to look for scholarships to help defray the costs in attending. On the other hand, I really enjoy the school it's like a second home. It's not sunny California, winter is really winter.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get your scholarships lined up! Take a visit to the school first and then again. You want to make sure this is where you want to be (somewhat expensive).

    Its programs seem mediocre at best. Biology appears to be fairly decent, but their music department's chair is quite inappropriate and swore repeatedly in front of parents. That is, to be blunt, rather sketchy.
    Will enjoy being here

    I hated my visit. It was, simply put, a mess. I have never been to a school where I was treated more poorly. Perhaps it is because I am a minority, or because my surname is Jewish, but I felt quite out of place at this school and the dean did not treat me or my family well when he met us, despite the fact that I would bring top 1% test scores in the ACT and SAT to their school.
    Bang for the buck

    I would not touch this place with a ten-meter pole. It is too expensive for the mediocre education that one would receive from this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    My biggest tip is thus: do not attend this school. It's campus is dingy and overrun with heinously obese squirrels. It lacks diversity and, should one be a minority, it is not a good place to be.

    The University of Evansville is a very close-knit community. The small classes allow you to know your professors, and get any extra help that is needed. Everybody is very friendly, and always willing to help.
    Tips for prospective students

    If there is a class that you might have a bit of trouble in, don't be afraid to talk to the professor. They are always willing to help, and if you would rather ask a student in your class, they are always happy to help. Your advisor is always there for you too, and can help you with almost anything.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics are very important at the University of Evansville. Since the classes are generally small, the professor can get to know you better, and is always willing to help with any problems you may have with the class.
    Dorm Life

    Living in a dorm is just part of college life. You get to know your roommate as the first person usually in your dorm, but soon after you get to know most of the people on your floor. The resident assistants who live on the same dorm floor as you will hold floor events to get to know your floor better, and are always there to help you if you have any concerns.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is the main source of meals, especially for freshman or those who don't like to cook. You always get plenty of food to eat, and there is a good variety. For those that like to cook, there is a kitchen in every dorm, or if you just need a quick coffee, right next to the cafeteria is our coffee shop. Next to that is a small convenience store, which you can go to if you ever wanted to grab something quick from there.
    What to do for fun

    At the University of Evansville, there is something for everybody to do. Most people join clubs, such as the Venturing Crew, Medieval Society, Foreign language clubs, and many others also. If there are no clubs you are interested in, then if you can find a few people and an advisor, you can start your own club!
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of clubs on campus, and tons of activities. The student activity board (SAB) hosts many free events for students to go to and just have fun. There is even a few dances on campus every year.
    Campus Safety

    Since the University of Evansville is a very small school, campus security is great. They are always there if you need them, and if you were to ever feel unsafe, they are very willing to escort you to where you need to go.

    The campus atmosphere is so laid back. It's just a comfortable place to be, and I love going to school here. The professors are amazing and so willing to help.
    Tips for prospective students

    It goes without saying, but do your homework. Don't let your social life get in the way of studying. The professors are willing to pretty much bend over backwards to help you so long as you are willing to put forth the effort
    Academic Rigor

    The academics at this school are the absolute best I've ever seen, and they're known all over the world
    Dorm Life

    I'm not a big crowd type of person so living in a dorm with all those other people doesn't appeal to me, but this school's dorms are pretty good. They're clean and well kept.
    Food and Dining

    The food is definitely better than high school, but it's still just school food.
    What to do for fun

    Honestly, there's not a whole lot to do for fun on campus, but the school is a great location in Evansville. It's close to the mall and a theater and parks so that makes up for it.
    Bang for the buck

    The education that you get from University of Evansville is worth every cent. The school is known everywhere and the experiences that it can get you are worth it.

    Even for the location towards the not-so-good part of Evansville, I've never had a problem with anything and always feel safe.

    They have great professors in the liberal arts areas and they care about students. They try to give you the most for what you pay and provide for all students. UE is committed to the success of it's students.
    Tips for prospective students

    The most attention and freedom you will have is Freshman year, try to do everything they offer. The courses are challenging, but doable; so don't leave everything to the last minute. Never be worried about asking professors both scholarly and professionally minded questions, they will love and appreciate it very much. Also, keep in mind it is a small school and they also have an international school that is owned and operated by them.
    Academic Rigor

    Challenging but doable, different departments have different challenges but it is doable. If you're an average student, you may need to devote a bit more time to studies. The Honors program is especially more challenging but will help in the preparation for later studies.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are small and there are communal bathrooms, but overall pretty friendly. There are also a lot of communities for certain floors that are fun to participate in.
    Food and Dining

    The food and dining area is expensive and there isn't much competition on campus for popular food venues, however there are good places nearby.

    The programs at UE are very well qualified. Alumni constantly tell current students how well-prepared they were for their careers and and graduate school programs.
    Am enjoying being here

    The university offers a lot of opportunities for students to interact
    (clubs, movie nights, etc.). During Welcome Week, you are a put in groups that are determined by your FYS class. This way, you have a group of friends and that you have at least one class with.
    Greek Life on campus is amazing! There is practically no animosity between fraternities and sororities. I never thought I would join a fraternity, but UE has totally changed my perspective. I now have a great I have a new family that I can go to for anything and everything.
    The faculty at UE is extremely helpful and approachable. As a freshman, it can be overwhelming to go so far away from home, but the campus offers you a safety and comfort that I don't think I would have found anywhere else.
    To be completely honest, I miss UE more now that I am at home.
    Bang for the buck

    The school isn't cheap, but the programs are extremely personalized. Included in tuition are entry to sporting events, plays, health center services, career services, counseling services, and many other things that students usually pay for at public universities. If you utilize the many services that UE offers, you are going to find the cost isn't a factor.
    You can also study abroad. Our sister school in England, Harlaxton, has the financial aid given at UE transferred to them, so all you have to pay for is travel and leisure expenses.

    If you are a person who desires to have one on one relationships with proffesors who truely care and want to see you succeed the University of Evansville is truely for you. The staff here is friendly and personable and has not only helped me on a scholastic level but on a personal level as well. Because of the smaller size of the campus, proffessors can afford to set aside large amounts of office time to help you through academic counseling and questions. Of all my friends who are atttending large schools like IU or Purdue I am the only person who can boast having lunch with the head of a department or even recieving emails checking up on my summer interships. The school truely does cater to helping you succeed.
    Am enjoying being here

    The living arrangements and overall campus feel at the University of Evansville is one aspect that I appreciate immensely. I never have to walk more than ten minutes to get to any class or the library and the campus offers a variety of housing options for people with varying interests and budgets. The sense of community on campus is fantastic and the Resident Assistants and Coordinators in the dorms are both friendly and helpful. The college has recently built several beautiful dorms as well as a large student center with a cafe, convenient store, gift shop and entertainment options. It is a truely wonderful spot for late night study sessions with friends as the center offers lap tops that can be checked out, printing options, and comfortable and clean sitting areas.
