First of all, Kalamazoo College has an excellent reputation and it never fails to impress someone when they ask which college I attended.

Kalamazoo prepared me for the future in many ways. The classes were challenging and demanding but the professors genuinely cared to see us flourish, providing an incredible amount of guidance and personal attention. It was not unusual for professors to hold class at their homes for pizza and a movie or simply take the class outside on a nice spring day. When visiting campus now, three years after graduation, I still have professors from my freshman year who remember my name and are excited to hear how I am doing.

Kalamazoo brought together the best of both worlds for me. The campus of “K” was small, serene and personable. Firends were never too far away and even while on foreign study we were able to stay well-connected. At the same time the 30,000-student Western Michigan University was right down the road and downtown Kalamazoo was in the other direction. It was important for me to have more than just the option of the local bowling alley or movie theater to enjoy my free time with, and Kalamazoo had a lot to offer.

I definitely recommend giving Kalamazoo College a look!
