    Am learning a lot

    All of my classes have been taught by brilliant and passionate professors who really care about teaching and want students to succeed, both on tests and in life. Regis provides you with a challenging academic curriculum, but professors and tutors are always very easy to get in contact with if you need help. The small class sizes create a close-knit academic community where you learn from each other as well. The honors program offers an even more rigorous curriculum and an even tighter community of students.
    Am enjoying being here

    The professors are really friendly and the students are nicer and more open-minded than I ever could have dreamed. Granted, you'll have your snobs or your political extremists (on either side) at any school, but don't ever let anyone tell you that Regis is just a school for rich conservative white kids; We have a great variety of students from all walks of life, and we get along great. There are tons of activities for weekends, and the clubs are always looking for people to get involved. Regis also has a lovely campus with lots of grassy areas where you can curl up under a tree to study or play frisbee with your friends when the weather is nice (or have a snow-ball fight when the weather isn't!) and all you have to do is walk off-campus to find yourself in the middle of Denver with a variety of restaurants and activities available to you.
    Bang for the buck

    As others have said, this school comes with quite a price-tag, but you shouldn't let that discourage you. They offer a wide variety of scholarships, particularly to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It didn't take long at all before it was cheaper for me to go to Regis than it would have been for me to go to CU Boulder. In the honors program in particular, I know a lot of students who are going here on a full-ride!
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Apply for the honors program!
    2. Take an English class with Dr. Palmer. (In fact, major in English and take a class with all of the Regis English professors; The entire department is amazing. But if you have to choose one, go with Dr. Palmer.)
    3. Do not neglect your scholarship applications! This school really loves to give out scholarships (particularly to math and science majors), but you have to apply!
    4. Get your work done early, and do the best you can, even on the little assignments. Teachers know when you're not giving them your best, and Regis teachers are not afraid to call you on it.
    5. Get involved! Regis has so much to offer in terms of extra curricular activities, you just need to take advantage of it! Plus, clubs are a great way to meet people! I wouldn't have any of my current friends if I hadn't gotten involved my Freshman year.
    6. Live in O'Connell Hall. I choose DeSmet Hall my Freshman year because the rooms are slightly bigger, but the rooms in DeSmet are arranged so ridiculously (particularly the heater and the shelves, which can't be moved) that in practice they're a lot smaller.
    Great for these types of students

    Catholics who are looking for a more liberal community but don't want to sacrifice the faith-based aspect of their eduction, people who support social justice and want to attend a school that will offer them many chances to work in the community, and people looking for individualized attention from their professors and a close community with their fellow students.

    All of the teachers here are extremely professional and are also very focused on teaching their students. The small class sizes allow for a better environment where we actually learn from the teachers, and if we need help they are usually available and always willing. Whatever you need the teachers are there to help you!
    Am enjoying being here

    It's amazing how friendly and nice everyone is. regardless of how old you are and what grade you are in, everyone here is friendly toward each other. The teachers are awesome and the people going here are great. It's a nice small community.
    Bang for the buck

    The price is very expensive but Regis is exceedingly generous with their scholarships. They make the payment for college much more worth it. However the teachers and staff are supremely qualified for their jobs, and no matter what class you are in you will find yourself learning from a genius. We are supremely fortunate to be taught by their staff. Overall the school doesn't make me second guess what I am paying for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Regis University offers this trip called the first Tracks Trip that I would highly recommend. It's about a week long trip right before school starts, and you get to rock-climb, hike, go white water rafting and spend time with a bunch of really fun people. You meet a lot of new freshman so when school starts you already have a ton of friends. Also when classes come around, just go to class, because some teachers take attendance and the others that don't still notice if you are there or not. Depending on how often you go to class the teacher may like you more. With that, get to know your teachers!! They can be your best friend and end up helping you a lot through a class. They are willing to do A Lot for their students, so don't pass up this advantage of small classes. Also DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN!! Half of college is having fun! So don't forget to get out and explore.

    People that like community or like a small school where everyone gets to know each other. Within a short amount of time, it seems that everyone on campus knows each other. If you like knowing everyone around you then this is a great school for you. Also if you actually like learning from the teacher and not just one of their aides.. then this is a great school. Also if you like to get involved both in the school and in the community surrounding the school, Regis is amazing. They give students a million and one opportunities to make their voices heard, and just as many opportunities to help out in the surrounding areas. You really get to know the area you live in, both physically and historically. They really integrate you into the world around you.

    The great thing about Regis is that it is a small school and the professors are able to make themselves very available for help after class or to go over assignments personally.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is located near downtown Denver, so whether you are looking for a coffee shop to do some homework or a fun and creative new restaurant, there are many choices just minutes away from campus. Regis also offers a variety of activities during school such as intramurals and the popular thursday thrills weekly entertainment.
    Bang for the buck

    Regis is expensive, but you get a very personalized and in-depth education. Also, the financial aid office does its best to provide grants and scholarships to students that demonstrate financial need.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to study! It is difficult, but not impossible to get good marks here, and go seek help whenever you need it! Take a tour, they are available daily and can show you many aspects of the college life that you would like to know. People here are friendly and eager to lend a hand; Apply!

    While the purpose of college is to learn academically, I am also learning many life skills, which will stay with me forever. Even the professors here teach their subject, while integrating life lessons in to the class.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the setting. The campus is located just minutes from downtown, the public transportation can get you just about anywhere from here. Regis is also in relatively close proximity to other universities, which is good for meeting even more people.
    Bang for the buck

    While it is an expensive school, I do not feel like I am being ripped off at all. All of the employees have been chosen carefully, and the school is not stingy when it comes to spending money on the students. The food is delicious, everything is always clean, and the campus is overall taken care of very well.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus in the fall and during the winter. You need to get a good idea of what the campus is like during all times of the year. Talk to an advisor, make sure you know exactly what you need to do to get in, stay in, and finish your college career in a reasonable amount of time.
    Finally, try to talk to some current students who attend Regis. Get their perspective on it, ask any questions you may have, and see if the crowd seems like the type of crowd you would choose to be around.

    Regis University allows students the opportunity for inner exploration always encouraging the continual search for values, truth and a just existence. Regis challenges it's students to attain the inner freedom to make intelligent choices and always strive to help the community. As such, Regis is a five-star school, always pushing it's students to make the biggest societal and individual contributions possible, thus, hitting a level of overall excellence.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students of Regis University should be prepared to ask the bigger, deeper question: How ought I to live? Therefore, Regis is not easy. Students need to understand how they will become part of the whole here at Regis and, as such, they will become apart of something, outside themselves.
    Academic Rigor

    Regis is far from easy. It has tested my limits time and time again both academically and mentally. However, the professors and administration at Regis always strive to help it's students, so as to prevent breaking, and help with a little bending.
    Dorm Life

    Personally, I never lived in the dorm. However, I have heard that many people enjoy the dorm life at Regis. The buildings are clean, simple, and a student can really make it their own.
    Food and Dining

    The Grill is an amazing place to stop by and have a quick snack on the way to your next class or to enjoy an entire conversation over a great meal. The food's not exactly 5 star, but the people and environment make up for what the quality lacks.
    What to do for fun

    For fun, Regis has retreats, sporting events, speaker meetings, and various other activities that one can participate in.
    Bang for the buck

    Regis University is a prestigious university offering an amazing education. Each student has the opportunity to build relationships, not just with their peers, but also with their professors. The close relationships foster a unique dynamic that really helps the student to achieve not only academic success, but success in life. That success is priceless.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I don't know what to say about unusual traditions on campus.
    Great for these types of students

    Regis University is great for a myriad of students: the geeks, socialites, learning impaired, and various others. The geeks will strive in the competitive atmosphere, the socialites will enjoy the close nit relationships that can be formed so easily at Regis, and the students who have typically had a difficult time in the past can benefit from the closer teacher student relationship. Thus, Regis is great for various students.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are various clubs and activities for every kind of student. There are honor clubs for the typical nerd; sports activities for the casual jock, and outing events for the typical kid.
    Campus Safety

    The campus at Regis is very safe. There is almost always a security guard in sight. Also, there are plenty of call boxes in the parking lots making the late night studying less dangerous and there is a great counseling department that helps ensure that students who need help with anything are not left to their own devices.

    I love Regis University. This is the place for non-traditional students. Classes are independent study, on-line, or in small groups.
    Tips for prospective students

    It is a private college so the tuition is a little more, but it is worth every cent!
    Academic Rigor

    On-line courses are very intense, but I like the 8 weeks courses. The classes go by very quickly.
    Dorm Life

    Live off campus.
    Food and Dining

    Live off campus. It is not a traditional university. It is geared toward the non-traditional student. There are no places to eat, only classrooms.
    What to do for fun

    Non-traditional students are very busy with families, work, and school. There is not much room for fun when you are so busy with everything.
    Bang for the buck

    This private institution is more expensive than local community or state affiliations. However, the education I am receiving is completely worth every cent!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The Henderson, NV campus is closing because of financial strain due to economic conditions.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is small, it has a high-school feel to it. Your professors know you and care about your success, you are not just a number. Get involved in the community or clubs at school, although they don't have much to offer as far as clubs go because it's so small.
    Tips for prospective students

    Since it's so small, everyone knows your name and your life do so don't get a bad reputation--keep drama low key. I am a transfer student from CSU and the parties are Regis are lame in comparison so if you want the true college experience, go to CSU or CU. The education is fantastic--we have an extensive core curriculum and there may be classes you don't want to take, but they will make you a well-rounded person. You need to know things outside of your major! Other schools don't push for this at all.
    Academic Rigor

    Like I said above, the professors push you and they know when you aren't in class so you have to go! Classes are small and resources for academic help are rampant.
    Dorm Life

    I transferred so I didn't experience the dorm life at Regis. However, it is clear to me that this is where you meet the friends that will be by your side the rest of your college experience. Communal bathrooms, RAs, etc. you will get the dorm life experience.
    Food and Dining

    Bon Appetit is the food company. They are an environmentally friendly company who makes local food purchases and makes sure foods are organic and meals are healthy but tasty. Not your typical gross cafeteria food.
    What to do for fun

    Downtown Denver is ten minutes away. 32nd Ave and Tennyson St strips are close by. The mountains are a 30 minute drive away. It is easy to find fun things to do.
    Bang for the buck

    It is expensive. I am an excellent student and get around $18000 in grants and scholarships, which covers about half of the cost. However, Regis has a great reputation and finding a job after you graduate is easy with Regis on your resume.
    Clubs and Activities

    Not nearly as many as a bigger school.
    Greek Life

    NO GREEK LIFE. Don't come here if you want to be part of a sorority or frat.
    Campus Safety

    Great, just a phone call or button away.

    people here are so nice and friendly, if you need help you can always ask.
    Tips for prospective students

    visit campus before you decide to come here. the campus is beautiful, but the size throws off some people. talk to professors and students that go here and ask lots of questions. know what you're looking for in a college and see what students say when you ask what their favorite thing is about going to school.
    Academic Rigor

    some classes are more difficult than others. it's helpful to look online and see how students rate the teachers they have had when you are looking at what courses to take. some teachers are more helpful and interesting than others.
    Dorm Life

    freshman dorms are decent, but small living spaces. people do not generally leave their dorms open a lot, making it difficult to mingle. there are events that the resident life coordinators put on and those are great for meeting people in your dorm!
    Food and Dining

    the food is decent, but meal plans can be spendy! the main cafe tries to add variety, but does not always work out. there are three different places to find food on campus, which is nice to have options. and we have a starbucks.

    go explore downtown denver, or downtown boulder. take a hike or go up to the mountains. also in denver, visit the aquarium and zoo!

    there are a lot of things to get involved with on campus. go to the club fair at the beginning of the year to get a preview!

    Campus Safety

    it's really safe on campus, just be sure to always use common sense - don't walk alone at night, be careful who you bring back to campus with you etc. security guards are available if you need anything. just need to be careful on main drag next to campus can be a little sketch.

    One of the best things about attending Regis University is the small class sizes. I love the fact that there are only 15-25 kids in each of my classes and that all my professors know me by name. Also, as a liberal arts school with widespread core requirements, I am taking classes in disciplines I never would have thought of and have found new subjects that are interesting to me. Another great thing about Regis is the fact that they have a free tutoring program, that's right free! There are tutors for nearly every subject and it is actually part of their workstudy to help you, so all you have to do is make an appointment. They also have a great Writing Center and Library where people are willing to help you with any part of writing a paper, whether it's research, grammar, or format.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are always lots of activities going on around campus for students to participate in, and all the students and faculty want you to get involved. My first week on campus, upperclassmen came in the residence halls and let all the freshmen know that they were welcome to come play volleyball or basketball at open gym. Also there are a huge number of volunteering opportunities. For example, a group of friends and I volunteered at a Step Up for Down Syndrome walk, and my dorm floor is adopting a family. The community is super open and accepting of all types of people. Even the professors want you to get involved. Just last weekend we had a bowling tournament/pizza party where the Psychology/Neuroscience majors took on the Psych/Neuro faculty for rights to put their name on the trophy. The faculty won, but we won't go there :)
    Bang for the buck

    Honestly, I know that Regis is a pretty expensive school, but they really do have great scholarship opportunities. I don't know anyone on campus who isn't receiving some kind of scholarship from the university. All you really have to do is keep your eye out for the different scholarships that come up. Also, all freshmen and most upperclassmen receive a student employment opportunity, where they can work on campus and earn money while making connections with professors and other people who can help them out throughout their college careers. Finally, you get a lot of extra perks for the money you play. There is an excellent Fitness Center that is completely free, great library help, free tutors, all athletic events are free to students, intramural sports are free, free parking, and clubs are all free.
    Tips for prospective students

    1) Visit campus, it's small and beautiful and just minutes away from downtown Denver, and also close to the pristine Rocky Mountains. 2) Look for scholarships, because they are everywhere. 3) Get super involved because you will meet tons of different people and make great friends and 4) Don't hesitate to ask questions because to the people here you are more than just you're tuition dollars; they really want to help you with your education and your personal development.

    This school is a Jesuit Catholic school, but I would recommend it for people of all faiths. I, myself, don't really have a religious affiliation, my roommate is a Buddhist, and I also have a Muslim friend. None of us feel any pressure from the Catholic presence on campus. I also recommend this school for people who really want to make a difference in the world and want to become better people, because the Regis community wants not only to give you an education, but help you become the best human being you can be.

    Coming into Regis I didn't know what to expect on how much I will be studying and how difficult classes are. After studying here for a year I have learned to manage my schedule to take the most classes possible while still getting as much out of my classes as possible. I wouldn't necessarily say that the work is extremely difficult but rather that because of its expansive core I am learning a lot more new subjects that I wasn't technically expected to learn in high school.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have truly enjoyed my time at Regis because it provides so may options for getting involved. They have many clubs, intramurals, and activities students are able to participate in. There is usually always something going on somewhere on campus, you just have to look for it. They provide many opportunities to get involved in the community. Another benefit is that you are pretty close to downtown Denver so there are also many options to spend time off campus as well.
    Bang for the buck

    At Regis, you definitely get your bang for your buck because they have many activities and events for the students to participate in. Some activities included Ranger week which is a full week of different activities, there is a special deal on recently released movies, and there is Thursday Thrills where they bring in a group or put on an activity for the students. There is also free parking and laundry and the student center also gives out bus passes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't panic when you get ready to start. It is very possible to manage your free time, studying time, and work time. If you have the possibility to have a work study take it because it can also be a great time to study. Give yourself a doable workload and don't schedule too many classes. When buying your books typically try to rent them and also check other sources like Amazon. However, if you get your books from Amazon make sure you get the right copy or edition of the book. Make the effort to put yourself out there and make friends. The cafeteria food is never as bad as they make it sound.
    Great for these types of students

    Regis is great for those students who like to be outdoors because it is a beautiful campus and there are many opportunities to go camping, backpacking, or skiing and snowboarding. This school is also great for those students who want a larger school body but may not be ready for a student population the size of a typical state college or university. Also if you are not sure about a major Regis has a large core which provides students with many options allowing students more options to choose majors from.

    I have started to realize how much paying attention in school paid off - everything starts to make more sense and connects back to each other, increasing my understanding of everything!
    Am enjoying being here

    I loved living in the dorms, and I love walking across the campus and seeing about a dozen people I know. The small community makes it feel like it really is about us. When I see my professors, they not only know my name but can remember when I was sick and we can have a real conversation. I also love having the Chapel on campus, so it's a 3 minute walk to Mass, and I know over half the people at each Mass! It's a great experience.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is not cheap, and my family and I have to pinch every penny we can so I can go here. It's a struggle, and sometimes it gets annoying how pricey things can be...until I compare my school to other schools. A degree from Regis will eventually pay me back, getting me into better jobs in my field, since it has such a heavy reputation.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to class, and pay attention when you're there. You soak in so much more knowledge and then you can use it and talk about it later. Using your knowledge is what it's all about. Also, get used to time management. Splitting up time for friends, food, work, sleeping, and studying is hard, but you have to prioritize EVERYTHING.
    Great for these types of students

    If you don't mind extra work and being stressed all the time, giving up real parties for study parties, and less sleep, college is for you. If you want deeper thinking on top of all that, Regis is for you.

    The professors are extremely helpful and kind. The classes are extremely varied and interesting and there are copious ways to learn outside of the classroom. I was also able to learn so much about myself in just one year of being at Regis. Being a Muslim on a Jesuit Catholic campus, I had my doubts about fitting in and being comfortable at my new school. However, I was welcomed with open arms and numerous friendly questions about myself and my faith and in turn I had many questions.

    I am absolutely happy here. Regis is located in close proximity to downtown Denver and its happening art and theatre scene, restaurants, and museums. It is also close to bike trails that reach from past Denver all the way up to Golden, Colorado. Lastly, everyone is extremely friendly from the faculty, students, and staff to the community that surrounds the campus and beyond.
    Bang for the buck

    Regis is on the pricey side but attending this university is well worth the cost. By attending this university, you will have access to amazing professors, small in-depth classes, unique learning programs and so much more that it couldn't all be described. Also Regis is generous with its scholarships and grants.
    Tips for prospective students

    My biggest tip for prospective students is to not be afraid of the financial aid office. They will help in every way in order to help you pay for your education from help completing FAFSA and COF to helping you find more money. Another tip is to visit the campus if you are able to do so. It is a beautiful campus with a wonderful view of the Rockies. It also helps because you can get aquainted with the campus and you can get a $200 credit off your tuition. Lastly, don't let the fact that Regis is a Catholic university scare you away. Its Jesuit Catholic, so they do things a little different. They are very welcoming of everyone so don't be shy!
    Great for these types of students

    Regis is great for students that like small classes and easy access to their professors and others for help. It is also great for adverturous students and students that want to serve their community as there are several service project that occur throughout the year such as volunteering at homeless shelters in Denver and going to different states to help with Habitat for Humanity.

    Regis has completely opened my mind up to new ideas that I never would have even considered before. The teachers there have really challenged me to think outside of the box and because of that I have learned things that I never thought was possible. It's amazing to find out what one can learn when you just open your mind to a vast array of new ideas.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love Regis. The campus is great and it has a really personal feeling to it. The campus is small and so are the class sizes, so it is easy to get to know people on campus. Also, your teachers actually take the time to get to know you. Another great thing about Regis is because it is so small people you don't even know will say hi to you on campus. It is very down to earth.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say that Regis is worth the amount that you pay to go there. The education is much more personal and can be centered more on the students themselves. The small size of Regis allows for teachers to get to know you by name rather than number and you are really able to spend a lot of time learning from your teachers and fellow students.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would tell prospective students to be prepared to volunteer. Regis is big on service learning, their motto being men and women in service of others. Regis values giving back to the community and a lot of classes require some type of volunteering that goes along with your class work.

    Though the school is expensive it is worth the money. As much as Regis offers their students makes the money seem as a minor problem. Each week a new event is offered with perks such as free stuff. The quality of the education is worth the money as well. The professors are well educated in their fields and are willing to teach the students as well as possible.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a great school with a lot of heart. Go in with an open mind and do not be afraid to get involved. There are plenty of ways to get involved at Regis and most people are a part of something. Either a club, club sport, student government, or the simple attending the weekly thrill.

    The classes here are small and the professors are amazing. They're truly dedicated to making sure YOU know the material and that you are succeeding in your studies. You work hard, but it's worth it because you learn a lot.
    Am enjoying being here

    The people on campus are friendly and there are tons of great student activities and clubs. We have weekly events such as Thursday Thrills (shows such as magicians or comedians) and Friday movies (free tickets to see movies in theater!). There are many great speakers and workshops and campus is lively and fun. It's great to be in an environment where your professors know you by name and you are familiar with most of the students in your class.
    Bang for the buck

    As a private school, it looks expensive, but they offer many scholarships and grants to help cover tuition. They offer many activities and classes to make it well worth the time and money spent here.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply! Don't let cost deter you- there are many ways to cover the tuition and it'll be well worth your time. Come visit campus and stay in the dorms to really observe what it's like to be part of the Regis community.

    Regis offers a variety of classes- no matter what your interest. My only complaint would be the lack of a theatre program. Professors and tutors are always available for individual help and you really feel that Regis wants you to succeed academically. Coursework can be a challenge, but that just shows that you are getting what you paid for-- an education!
    Am enjoying being here

    The outside class activities Regis offers really adds to the atmosphere and moral. From Thursday Thrills, to free Friday night movies, to weekend programs such as ice skating or camping- Regis helps you find something entertaining to do!

    As a private school, Regis is expensive, but the Financial Aid office is very accommodating if Federal Student Loans did not meet your financial needs. Also- when considering all of the extras Regis has: weekend activities, Snow Week, Ranger Week, retreats, free tutors, etc. it really adds up to being worth every cent.
    Tips for prospective students

    Regis is a great school- but if you want a theatre major, it's not for you. While the extras are great, the first step to choosing a school is choosing an academic program that meets your needs. Also- never initially rule a school out because of cost. Talk to the Financial Aid Dept over the phone or by email and THEN decide if you could afford to attend or not.
    Great for these types of students

    Regis is great for students that enjoy volunteering, prospective nursing students, and students that want a small school that operates as a close community of students and staff.

    My intended major is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Even though I am not yet in nursing school, my prerequisites are geared towards nursing. I am learning so much and getting exposed to what I will be encountering in my junior and senior year in nursing school.

    I have met so many great people and I am just beginning my second semester. I already have a close knit group of friends. We all are nursing majors. We help each other study for chemistry tests and have classes together.

    The price is worth the education you will get here. I have so many opportunities. Opportunities from studying abroad to free laundry in the residence halls.

    The professors all work very hard to challenge their students, regardless of their level. The Honors Program is excellent and asks for a lot of critical thinking and discussion in seminars. The Commitment Program is also there to help struggling students to graduate. Tutors and professors have very open office hours and are easily accessible, perfectly happy to work around your schedule if you are particularly busy. The idea of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, also plays out in your experience. It is not just learning a bunch of things for class; it is learning about and nurturing every part of yourself and your relationships with the community to be the best possible person.

    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is gorgeous, there is always some fun activity to attend, and the classes are enjoyable, but the best part is the people. Everyone here is friendly! Because of its relatively small size, the professors really get to know the students personally, the rest of the staff around campus is always nice and there to help the students to succeed (as you hear from them time and again), and the inter-student relationships are fantastic! People will smile and often say hi any time you pass them. And, of course, it is located in Denver, so if you want to get out, there are a myriad of things to do.
    Bang for the buck

    The price tag looks hefty, but Regis offers many wonderful scholarships that make it accessible to anyone. They even have a guarantee for students-- if you do not graduate in four years, the remainder is on them. Furthermore, there are so many programs, opportunities, and prizes for free that the money you do pay is really returned to you in one way or another, through your experience here and even afterwards. Among the benefits for former students is the Coors Life Directions Center, which offers career assistance, even after you've graduated.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay on top of your work, because it really does pile up quickly. High school homework does not necessarily prepare you for college homework, and that will be the same at any university. However, do not forget to get out and enjoy the social scene on campus. Take advantage of every opportunity you can, whether it is getting involved with University Ministry, the Regis Ramblers (the acting troupe), the church choir, Thursday Thrills, or any of the other clubs, organizations, and student events.

    Great for these types of students

    Everyone has a niche here, whether coming from an AP/ Honors background or not. However, we do have excellent nursing, pre-med, and business programs for those students. The Visual Arts department is not particularly large, and there is not a theatre class, but there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in both (and many others) if you wish. If you have been active in your community and like to volunteer, this is a great place for you!
