Cottey College

Date: Feb 19 2008
Major: Political Science (This Major's Salary over time)
Cottey was the worst thing that happened to me. The surrounding city is in rural Missouri, if you're from a metropolitan… your chances of being happy here are extremely low. The town is also extremely white. The school advertises it as diverse but HAHA… it is so not. No diversity whatsoever. Surrounding towns are racist. Alot of the girls here are friendly, the dorm life is pretty nice. If you come here, beware that you will be limited to each one or two professors in your majoring field. So if you don't like them… tough luck. I wouldn't really recommend this school… it's absolutely pathetic. It feels like an academic summer camp for girls that goes on nine months a year. You're extremely limited over here… you are stuck in a Cottey bubble. As a Political Science major, it was the worst. Students are so uninformed. You do have opportunities to meet guys if you have a car at Pittsburg State or Wentworth (1 to 2 hours away). Social life absolutely is horrid… the only thing the school has to bribe students to coming here is the food, suite life, and the Europe trip. I think the only thing I liked about this school were the small classes. But then you have stupid attendance policies which are absolutely dumb… we're not in high school.
