What Students Are Saying

If you are eligible for the honors dorm make sure that you send your housing application in really soon. There is limited space and it is on a first come first serve basis.
Jordan from Frankfort, OH
Submit your housing application early. Make sure to have some extra spending money for weekend meals because the dining hours can be kind of inconvenient. Take advantage of the opportunities during orientation to attend club meetings and meet other students.
Rachel
Look into it more than just a brochure or course list. I was not so excited about it until I came down for my visit and got to see the campus and interact with the people. The town of Bexely has so much going on, that it was a fit as soon as I set foot on campus.
Andrea from Akron, OH
If your a student who likes meeting new people and getting involved than Capital might be the school for you. Capital's staff will lead a hand and help you get the most out of your experience in college.

try your hardest to achieve good grades in high school because it will matter when trying to get a scholarship from capital. also, if you enjoy the small atmosphere and the opportunity to interact with your teachers, then capital is the place for you!

Apply early, and get your FAFSA done. If/when you get accepted stay on top of everything. The teachers will help as well as the CELT center.
