Cottey is one of those schools where it is exactly what you're looking for or it isn't. It is in a very small rural town in Missouri…so keep that in mind.

If you are into clubbing, drinking, etc…heading over to Pitt State or up to Kansas City is the only way to take care of that. But if that is what you're into instead of studying and actually taking advantage of what you're paying Cottey to do then you would definitely be better off in a state school.

The classes are small, the teachers are quirky and helpful, and the students are from ALL over. Diversity, while not very prevelant off of campus is quite visible on campus. The food is awesome at Cottey, as well as the suite life, and there is always the Europe trip your soph. year. The class selection isn't the best but considering you're looking at a private, liberal arts, TWO year school its either a concession you're willing to make or it isn't.

For the most part, I absolutely loved Cottey. I am from the other side of the country and it was my home away from home. Its like a huge family. You make life-long friends and make awesome memories. When you don't have anything to do (like, ahem, clubbing) you come up with the most random stuff to do and ultimately have more fun in the long run. Cottey is that extra boost you need before actually moving out of your parents house and being out on your own. It helps shape strong, independent young women…

So putting aside the kodak moments and corny comments- Cottey is a great fit if you're looking for the step inbetween high-school and the real world and it certainly helps prepare you for it.
