Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Reinhardt University is home to those who seek knowledge. The classes, well most of the classes, challenge one to obtain such an understanding and challenge all to do well in life. I have yet to have a terrible experience in any of my classes. Really all I can say is: If you wish to have a higher education, to learn from those who care about your learning experience, then please look at Reinhardt. If you want to be invisible, this is not the school for you.
Am enjoying being here I love this school. There are so many opportunities to get involved with student life. During the beginning week, each semester, there are multiple student activities such as: Paint wrestling, building bird houses, mechanical bull rides, etc. A personal favourite would be the Big Red Chair Pictures. So, if you're looking for a school that will challenge you, but allow you to be yourself, look no further.
Bang for the buck Although I wish I could give Reinhardt five stars for having more bang for its buck, the statement would be false. There are plenty of activities that go on around campus, but the schools Financial Aid department tends to lose information. This basically comes down to you either:
A. Re-doing your financial aid or
B. Sitting down with the Business office to figure out what went wrong.
Other than those small factors, the school has everything and is AMAZING!Tips for prospective students A tip for the incoming students would be DO NOT be fooled by the cafeteria food. Your orientation food will be okay. The food will get progressively worse throughout the semester, but you eventually get used to it and it becomes less of an issue. You actually come to miss it over the long breaks i.e. Christmas and Summer break.
Another tip would be to ask the upperclassmen for their textbooks. It generally won't happen your first semester in because, hey, you're new. But, generally by the second semester you know more people and can receive their books. Sometimes you even get to keep them.
Oh, and if you're a Music Major, don't freak. You'll get used to the load within the second semester. I'll see you often.Great for these types of students As the logo for my incoming year states Reinhardt College: The way college should be, Reinhardt holds its students with the utmost of care and undivided attention. As a student you should dedicate yourself to your studies, but at the same time take it easy and relax a little.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot All of the professors are willing to assist their students in any way possible. They are also very friendly, and since this is a small school the class sizes allow the professors the chance to help out students individually while allowing them to get to know them as well making it much easier to understand difficult subjects.
Am enjoying being here Everyone I have met at Reinhardt is really nice and you get a chance to get to know everyone because of the small town feel where everyone seems to know everyone as well as the various clubs you have the chance to join to help round out your college experience. Though the campus is located in a small town there are several shopping centers that are only ten minutes down the road for anything you need including, a Target and Wal Mart.
Bang for the buck I have yet to have a negative experience at Reinhardt. The campus is really beautiful and the staff are really friendly.
Tips for prospective students It would be a great idea to tour the campus before deciding if this is the right college for you, everyone is different and wants different things from their college experience. It can make the world of difference if you get an idea of what to expect if you were to attend Reinhardt in the future. I would also suggest making sure the school has any degree programs you may be interested in.
Great for these types of students Reinhardt is a great choice for students who wish to be known by their professors and have chances to ask them questions about the classes. This college is also a good choice for people who want to be on a beautiful campus that is away from busy city-life and Reinhardt is known for its picturesque campus which looks especially nice in the spring and fall.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences reinhardt is a very small 'community' with less than 1,100 students at main campus waleska. as a liberal arts college it offers a limited curriculum, fairly limited library and resources per your major, no real access to anything for outside campus life, except on campus student life activities, unfortunately.
Tips for prospective students *** be aware *** no help in the student financial aid office - whatsoever *** watch out *** - they do not have your back. they surely messed me up!!!
Academic Rigor very easy to get in --- much harder to stay --- they invite you there, then do not live up to their promises of academic assistance, study labs and professor involvement. be aware. see other ratings which prove this.
Dorm Life dorm life: reinhardt made national news when our dorm came down with bed bugs and we were all thrown out of our rooms with no place to go, (because the building had to be exterminated & tented). everyone in the dorm was all thrown into the open gym floor for a week. reinhardt did not notify our parents, nor was there a note of apology. profs didn't care that we were literally living out of garbage bags. i never recovered some of my personal belongings because of that occurance.
Food and Dining it's ok. same food selections every week becomes a bit boring after awhile.
What to do for fun the student life center offers tv, pool tables in the game room. there is no swimming pool on campus. biking is popular because there are plenty of mountain biking trails, and paint ball is popular. church is located on campus. a few student concerts and speakers are offered through sga. the campus is abt 6.5 miles from town, so a car is needed for shopping/dining/movies off campus.
Bang for the buck very small school. feels more like a hs than college. can't reccommend it as a good value. tends to be boring with not much to do outside of studying during the week. small town atmosphere with only one stop sign -- no traffic lights. the campus clears out on friday mornings for the weekend. there is not much happening on campus on the weekends.
Great for these types of students needing a very small reclusive mountain campus atmosphere.
Clubs and Activities clubs: the biking club, business clubs, religious clubs.
Greek Life they stopped it about 20 years ago.
Campus Safety the 500 acre campus is on top of mountain forest out in the middle of no where, with woods around, so it's pretty dark at night;but it seems pretty safe overall.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I admire the personal one on one experience with the professors. the campus is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many different degrees to choose from.
Tips for prospective students Stay focused in your first semester and beware of semesteritis (not wanting to do schoolwork)
Food and Dining The food is pretty good and offers many different choices like proper dinners, hand made sandwiches, salads, or pizza/hamburgers.
What to do for fun Lots of events and trips to further your education are available.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Humans versus Zombies

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot At Reinhardt College I am learning a lot because my classes are small. The class sizes are about 25 people for general core classes. I am also making many friends because of the small campus.
Am enjoying being here I like Reinhardt because it is very pretty, I have small classes, and I am on the soccer team. The campus is very pretty year round. The small classes make it so that the teachers know your name and you get the help that you need. Being on the soccer team makes it so that I have many friends and everyone on all the sports teams get along and support each other, including the rest of the student body.
Bang for the buck Reinhardt is the school for you if you like to be involved, know everyone, or want a small student body. There are many clubs for you to join and sporting event to go to. Also there are stores such as Walmart, Khols, Target, GameShop, Dicks, Tjmax, Ross, and many other places to shop just 10 minutes away. Also, there is a large mall about 30 minutes away along with Kenessaw University.
Tips for prospective students Come and check out the campus before you make your final decision. You also need to make sure you want to go to a small school.
Great for these types of students This school is great for those students who like small classes, those who like for their teacher to know them, for those athletes who want to stand out, and for those who want to be involved with different clubs and organizations.

Reviewer is Researching this school. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Tips for prospective students Go check out the campus, seriously. Sign up for a tour, most are small and only have 1-3 families. Ask any questions you have; the tour guides are willing to answer everything. Talk to a professor in your major, it will help you get a better feel of the environment of the school. Eat lunch on campus, also. Go to the nearest town and look around for future job opportunities or just places to hang out.
Great for these types of students It is a small, Methodist school. Students who are very religious and enjoy a church-family sort of environment. If you're trying to find out what you really want, this environment will really help you find it. If you like a lot of outdoor activities as well as fellowship, you'll enjoy this school. The nearest town is about 8 miles down the road. I didn't find a Wal-mart, but they had a strip mall with lots of stores.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Reinhardt is one of the most loving places to be when it comes to my field, which is music. I have never been in a place where the presence of passion existed beyond means of comprehension. Being completely content with my education at this college, 'this is the way college SHOULD be.'
Tips for prospective students If you are looking for a place where your learning from a professor is priority?? I highly recommend this school. When you visit, it may look like there is nothing to do, but once you get use to where you are, you will see that we are not far from anything.
Academic Rigor I have not been disappointed yet with what I've been taught in my field and neither have I heard others complain. Students here could not ask for better professors.
Dorm Life I put four stars here, because in my opinion, no colleges living area's are the greatest unless it is completely brand new, it has it's flaws. However, I have been satisfied for the most part since I have been here, and too, if you are not happy with where you are living or who you are living with, the Residence Life personnel's are amazing with working to get you settled.
Food and Dining I place four stars here, because there is just no food like home food, but indeed here, you are fed well.
What to do for fun Things you can do for fun: You could attend RA events, and you have the freedom to create your own idea's. Of course there are rules to keep while being creative. Go to the gym and play 'wall ball', join games that happen like ultimate Frisbee or Flag Football. Go play tennis. Gather a few friends, and car pool to the bowling ally or to KSU, or to the mall. Trust me, being a college student, you WILL find things to do.
Bang for the buck If you are a Music Student at Reinhardt University, you will NOT be disappointed with the things you are taught and the things you get to do. Our professors, are not just regular professors, most of them are so very well known with their music careers, you almost can't go anywhere and their name isn't known. Most of them are great friends with composers, and have traveled with the best of them. They are very open to idea's and creative musical things for the future. Are you a composer? Be that. Get really good, you may be fortunate enough to get it published and our ensembles play or sing it. you will NOT be disappointed.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One of the things I think is a tad unusual that is a 'tradition' for students is the Humans vs. Zombies game. It is fun to see and hear college students run around campus with Nerf guns at 2:00 in the morning as if mysteriously, thrown back into our careless child hoods. Around Christmas, there is always a dinner and dessert gathering at the Presidents house here on campus, followed by 3 days of Christmas concerts held at the Falany Performing Arts Center. We have a fall family weekend, where there are activities and different things for you and your family, and the Varsity sponsors that.
Great for these types of students The glasshouse is a wonderful place to be, it is a beautiful building with a fireplace in it and 2 flat screen televisions, it is open 24hrs, and it is a great place to hang out with friends, have a personal gathering, study, take a nap, play the kenect or the wii or the x box by bringing yours and hooking it up to the tv. The game room is another place students on campus tend to go when they want to hang out and play pool.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of clubs on campus, and a lot of opportunities to begin your own as well.
Greek Life There is no Greek Life at Reinhardt University anymore. However, who's to say that it won't happen again in the future, considering in 2013 we will have a football team?? I encourage people to come be a part of a movement that turns this college into one of the best private universities to be at.
Campus Safety Campus Safety, is amazing, most of them are actual sheriff's not just a knock off who needed a job and trained for a basic campus police job. You don't have to worry about a thing.
