The University of Redlands

Date: Feb 14 2012
Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
Campus itself- Gorgeous campus, as large as USC with a fraction of the student body. There is the quad, a sprawling grass area which covers the middle of campus, tree lined streets and a beautiful garden behind the Admin building.

Buildings and Dorms- There are some old historic type buildings on campus, Larsen and Hall of Letters are the main ones. Gregory and Appleton are the new science and math buildings and are very well done with lab space for students. The dorms for the most part are clean and orderly. Live in the Freshman dorms East or Willams if you are an incoming freshman because you get to meet your best friends while living there. Founders is all girls, California all men but they are connected by a main lobby and are so pretty you feel like you are living in a hotel. Cortner and Melrose are the upperclassmen dorms and are nice as are the Brockton Appartments.

Academics- The school is well know for their Global Business major and the Business department as a whole is an incredible asset to the school. The course work is useful, professors tough but fair and helpful. The professors really help students find opportunities to pursue their passions. Keep in mind that this dept is also more corporate world focused and less entrepreneurial as a whole. Math and Sciences are good liberal programs if you want to go pre-med and the school also has a well known Communicative Disorders major which is unique.

The Johnston Program is also unique in that you create your own major through a contract with the school and receive evaluations instead of letter grades. As a whole this program seems to be for people who think out of the box, very creative/ unique/ hippy type of thing but everyone I know in the program is cool.
The school also has good financial aid and is well known for helping out students although things might get tougher if the Cal Grants dissapear.

Redlands- This school is in a very small city/ large town. Be aware of this when you choose to go here or not as sometimes you will get bored and have to make your own fun. For out of state students cars really help, or friends with cars because there is no public transportation system that's easy to use. The school does have an on and off campus shuttle but they only run at certain times.
