Categories Rating Comments In three sentences This school has a highly recommended nursing program. The professors take the time to check up on you and make sure that you are doing good work. I would rate this school an eight out of ten.
Tips for prospective students Even though this school has a great academic program, since it is quite small it creates an environment that makes me feel like I am still in high school. If you are wanting to go to a school like that then I would recommend this school but if not then I would not recommend you coming here.
Academic Rigor The courses that I am taking now are just prerequisite courses. These courses are not some of the hardest courses you will have to take but a few of them will give you a challenge at times.
Dorm Life The dorm that I live in now is not very well kept. When you come to visit the school they show you the rooms with the new furniture but you most likely will get a room with old furniture. The old furniture you cannot even move, it is all stuck to the wall. The bathrooms are disgusting even though they are cleaned everyday except for the weekends which is when they need to be cleaned the most.
Food and Dining are dining is through sedexo. The food is rarely good. The breakfast food is the worst by far. The eggs are instant eggs, they are always runny and have very little taste. The dinners are not that bad but they cook everything so frequently you get tired of eating the same food over and over again.
What to do for fun There is not much to do for fun since the school is in such a small town. There are a couple of big cities near Mt. Pleasant such as Iowa City which is where University of Iowa is and there is also Burlington and they both have good places to eat. Iowa City has a good size mall that you can go to but it is a 45 minute drive so sometimes it is not that worth it.
Bang for the buck I don't think that you get your monies worth at this school. I think they are charging you to much and are disappointing the students more and more everyday.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is the Harlan-Lincoln house right on campus. This house was built by James Harlan. Abe Lincolns son married James Harlan's daughter and they lived in this house for an extended period of time.
Great for these types of students I think that this school is great for nursing students and athletes. Since this school is mostly athletes it will be easy for them to get along with each other. This school has an excellent nursing program and the professors are fantastic and are interested in what you do.
Clubs and Activities There are many different clubs at this school. The hard part is finding information on the club that you are interested in. They rarely send out emails and when they do they do not put the vital information in the email. for example they leave out the time and place that you are supposed to meet.
Greek Life There is only one sorority. There are no fraternities on campus.
Campus Safety There is a security guard that walks around campus starting at ten every night. He makes sure that nothing is going wrong but since there is only one of them he cannot be every where at once. This makes it easy for people to sneak around hi if they have to which is not very secure.
