Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I pray that by reviewing K College that I can save at least one innocent person so that they don't have to go there. In all honesty, this school is a farce. I went there to play a varsity sport (I won't say which out of respect to the coach, who was a very likable guy) and was so blown away by this complete and utter joke of a school. I have since transferred to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (after only 2/3 of a year at kzoo), and thank the good Lord every day that I am here. First of all, the school itself. It is a pretty campus; however, it is also roughly the size of my backyard. Do not be fooled by people telling you that going to a small school is an advantage- 3 of my 4 classes at U of M are under 30 students. Also, there is absolutely NOTHING to do. No rec center, no on campus eateries, no arcades, movie theaters, unions, clubs, parties, the weight room is open until like 9 oclock, and believe it or not, so is the Burger King at the end of campus. Please explain that one to me. The student body is also an eclectic group of weirdos. There are probably the same amount of weirdos at Michigan, but there are also 22,000 normal people to dilute them. By weirdos, I mean people that wear top hats every day (no joke) or those that wear their computer gaming headset down to dinner (I wish that was a joke). For all the guys interested in the school, don't count on ever seeing an attractive girl, unless you head over to western. Girls, most of the guys at kalamazoo like each other. In all honesty, the school has to be 40-50% gay. I cannot sing the praises of U of M high enough after having lived through such an experience. Oh and not to mention the fact kzoo is nearly twice the price of michigan, and you receive about 3% of what you would here. By all means, feel free to email me with any questions- I would be more than happy to answer them. I cannot stand by while this institution continues to deceive prospective students.

Choosing to go to Kalamazoo College really was one of the best choices I have made. Most students do a foreign study program in their third year, but it is not required. The city of Kalamazoo can be boring at times, but there is plenty to do on campus that most the time you are not sitting around bored. Individual Value: A+, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?

I went there to play basketball. The basketball coach was the only good part of the school- he's a great guy. However, the school itself was awful. It costs almost $40,000 a year to go there, and honest to God, I don't know where the money goes. There are no campus events, theres only one basketball court for the whole school (which is usually reserved for varsity sports) and the cafeteria closes at 7. Around 40% of the students were gay, and probably 75% were the artsy type. The party life is nonexistent- the only way to do anything remotely close to partying was to go over to Western. The surrounding city of Kalamazoo was awful too. The Burger King down the street from campus closed at 10 for the drive-thru. I've never heard of such a thing. I ended up taking the train home most weekends, but even the train station was bad- hobos used to get in fights and require police intervention constantly. I pray that you take this advice to heart and come to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I couldn't be happier with my decision- I've met a ton of friends, taken great classes, gotten internships, and I'm going to be studying abroad- not to mention getting a degree from one of the most recognizable and respected institutions in the country.

The faculty were supportive, and there was relatively little pressure compared to other more selective schools where the quality of education is similar. I have returned several times, and they continue to provide a strong environment for learning. This was also a great school to discover one's own interests and talents. The liberal arts experience was quite stimulating, particularly because the introductory subjects were taught be enthusiastic and highly competent professors. The faculty were amazingly accessible, and enjoyed interacting with students. Overall, the school prepared me well for graduate school. I am currently an endowed professor at an Ivy League University. I credit K. College with much of my success as a professor.
