    Am learning a lot

    Ever since coming here I have been taught a huge amount. Not just from the faculty, but from the students as well. This college isn't just about learning from the teachers. You learn from your peers and they learn from you. It is an amazing thing to be a part of. All this isn't saying that you don't learn from your classes though. The teachers seem to really care about you and what you do. It's a great feeling when you know that you are getting better at what you came to college to get better at.

    From day one Capital wants you to fit in. They take you around in groups and make you play stupid games and other things that bring you closer together with your classmates. You end up just talking to random people about how stupid and juvenile the games are, and before you know it, you made a friend. Another amazing feature of this campus is the honors dorm. In my part of the honors dorm there are always people around that happen to be some of the nicest and coolest people I know. We really feel like a family in our dorm.
    Bang for the buck

    Although it may look extremely expensive at first, just remember that Capital gives scholarships to 100% of their incoming students. It really helps a lot. It still costs a bunch though.........
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are eligible for the honors dorm make sure that you send your housing application in really soon. There is limited space and it is on a first come first serve basis.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone with a great attitude that likes to meet cool people and is really passionate about what they do. See you guys soon hopefully. :)

    Capital University is a very challenging school. The professors are very nice and usually will go out of their way to help you. The small class sizes mean that you get a lot more personal attention from your professors. They require several university core classes, which force you to expand your learning out of your comfort zone.
    Am enjoying being here

    The small campus makes it easy to get back and forth to class. There are a lot of great resteraunts around Bexley, and a Kroger and CVS fairly close to the campus. Most all the students are really great. There are a number of student organizations available to join, like sororities/fraternities, PRIDE, CUSNA, and so on. The food is alright, especially Mongo Bongo, but the lack of choice can make it seem boring after a while. Overall it's a really great place to go to school.
    Bang for the buck

    CU is very, very expensive, however they give out a great deal of scholarships. My tuition is almost totally covered by scholarships and loans. I think the experience is worth the high cost to learn here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Submit your housing application early. Make sure to have some extra spending money for weekend meals because the dining hours can be kind of inconvenient. Take advantage of the opportunities during orientation to attend club meetings and meet other students.
    Great for these types of students

    The nursing program is very strong, as is the conservatory program. Capital is great for students who like a personal learning environment and are very studious.

    Of course not every teacher is fantastic, but there definitely are some that stand out. And the best part is that the small class size means that generally, your teachers can recognize you. They care about how well you are doing in their class, and will always be willing to reach out and help a student who is struggling.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am a part of the Honor's dorm, which means we basically have a big living room right outside my dorm room. It's an excellent way to build community.
    Bang for the buck

    It's no lie, Capital is an expensive school. Especially for things like the meal plan that seem so extra. But at the end of the day, I think it's worth it. The sense of community from living in the dorms, running and getting a whole pizza from the Mezz, the great professors.. Yeah. It's all worth the money.
    Tips for prospective students

    Having a really good ACT score will allow you to get into the honors dorm. And if being in honors is something you might be interested in, apply early.
    Great for these types of students

    People who love small schools, where everyone can know your name.

    Am learning a lot

    As a nursing student, I am learning so much information about the workings of the human body and other microscopic details. Not only am I learning academically, but also how to work with a group, manage time and money, to form lasting relationships, and how to work through obstacles.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the small school atmosphere within the big city of Columbus. The genuine interest that professors have for their students is refreshing. Class size is equivalent to most high schools, with about 20 students in a class.
    Bang for the buck

    Capital is a private school, which makes it more expensive. They offer a lot of scholarship opportunities, but that doesn't change that most of the buildings have been around since the mid 1800s. They're old. Not all of the dorms are air conditioned. Despite a few flaws, they are all technologically up to date and we have free WiFi.
    Tips for prospective students

    It's pretty casual here. If you want to wear sweats everyday you can! In regards to weekend activities there are a lot to choose from. Of course, there are house parties and there is the night scene in downtown Columbus if you choose. There are also a lot of other towns to visit and explore, including OSU. Head to a Blue Jackets hockey game or the Columbus Zoo. There are also numerous concerts to attend, whether local bands or big names. Go climbing outside in one of the many parks around Columbus. If you'd rather stay on campus, there are also many options. Attend a Capital sporting event, Conservatory concert (they're really good!), go to Improv or game night, or start a pick up tennis game. There are seriously a lot of options.
    Great for these types of students

    Athletes, musicians, Greek-life, people that come from a small town, out of state, from the big city, successful people, world-changers, and people that like spending time with people.

    Capital University is amazing for their intimate atmosphere. Classes rarely exceed twenty people, and the professors actually know students by name. It's a great feeling to know your face isn't one of many just blending in with the masses. The smaller student population allows professors more time to help each individual student which ensures a successful academic career.

    I can't exactly give a completely accurate rating as I haven't started classes yet but just from my visit I could tell that the professors were great and it was evident that the students were in good hands.

    Capital is my dream college! I am counting down the days until I can live on campus & get started.
    Bang for the buck

    It may be expensive but at a private college you get more one on one time with your professors and it's easier to learn than in a large class; you get all of the personal attention you need to learn.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early! Everyone who applies is eligible for financial aid but those who apply earliest get the most money.
    Great for these types of students

    Capital is great for any type of student!
