Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Like all colleges, it has it's good and it's bad. This is a good college is you want to play sports. The professors and staff are very helpful and you will get a large financial break if you live close to the college.
Tips for prospective students Campus visit before you decide, and get involved on campus.
Academic Rigor Some professors will push you harder than others, but you will definitely learn.
Dorm Life Depends on the dorm that you are in, some dorms are stricter than others, and the heat and water goes out a lot, but usually comes back right away.
Food and Dining For campus food, the food is usually pretty good. There is also lots of places that are open through out the day, such as the coffee carts, and the cafe's in the library and by the bookstore.
What to do for fun The town of Olivet is really small, so if you're looking for something fun to do you leave and go into Lansing or Charlotte. A lot of people have parties on campus though if that's what you're into.
Bang for the buck If you live near by you get a really great discount, and they offer student loans as well, so it ends up being really cheap.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a midnight breakfast to kick off the year for the campus that is always very fun.
Great for these types of students If you're into sports or parting then this is the place for you, if not, then it might be hard for you to feel comfortable here.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs on campus and it is easy to start one if you haven't found one that you want to join.
Greek Life The Greek sororities and fraternities are huge on campus, and some people are very divided into their certain Greek clicks.
Campus Safety Campus Safety is very friendly and very present.

Am enjoying being here The college has student activities the rang to cover all personalities you just have to get up and find it. If you don't find one they are accommodating about letting you start one of your own.
