Small campus and small town, but with a big heart. Easy to bike or walk to town and the bowling alley is 5 mins away walking. Lots of trees and nature stuff.
Tips for prospective students
Stay the night or go to a camp. Get to know as many professors as you can. Don't mess around with the apple trees.
Academic Rigor
I've been told that this is a very good school if you want to be an engineer.
Dorm Life
(Reviewing the Engineering Building dorms) Cold floors and worse than average bathrooms, but with a large area. TV in the common area, lots of chairs, and a community fridge.
Food and Dining
Good food, but limited selection.
Great for these types of students

Small, student friendly, family orientated college. Inexpensive credits and teachers are always willing to help!
Tips for prospective students
Don't procrastinate or take too many credits your first semester.
Academic Rigor
Engineering classes are difficult but teachers are very willing to help. Small classes that are very student friendly.
Dorm Life
Dorms are larger than at other schools I toured.
Food and Dining
Food is good but not large variety.
What to do for fun
Participate in the weekly dorm life activities. It's fun to hang out and play pool and games in the Activities Center.
Bang for the buck
This school is small, family oriented. Class sizes are small and credits are inexpensive. Teachers are extra helpful and it's nice to have a small school feel that you can usually find staff to help you. Study groups really help!
