Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Student

I felt welcome from day one. My Roommate is great. Classes are good. More detail about scholarship and funding.

Student

Small campus (4 buildings), friendly staff, faculty, and admin, commuter campus, very diverse and promotes DEIA, deans know students by name, smaller classes, beautiful campus, close to Sandusky and Cedar Point so there is stuff to do though not on campus

Student

It's a smaller off campus university, so many of the students are non-traditional students or students are want to attend a cheaper college to save on money before attending a larger university. It's a pretty close-knit community on campus and it's a pretty friendly and safe environment for all students. There's also a few events throughout the school year to help promote community within the students as well that are nice.
