Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot All the teachers are amazingly knowledgeable; my teacher whom I have for my political science classes used to be an attorney. My other professors, whether for General Ed or for my major (Social Science), all are very involved in my life. They bring opportunities to me before I even ask them for any. They have truly helped my growth both as a student and as a Christian. They enjoy their job and excel at it; you have to try hard to not learn anything from this school. A fountain of knowledge is at your fingertips.
Am enjoying being here The teachers are all very sweet and genuinely concerned about you and your life. The resources to grow in your faith here are clearly present and an encouraging atmosphere makes it fun rather than feeling like a duty. The other students are very welcoming; they treat you like family as soon as you're out of your car orientation day. The students help each other out to try to make sure no one gets left behind.
Bang for the buck You're pretty much guaranteed some sort of scholarship when you come here. You have a 80 - 90% chance of getting full tuition and Room & Board isn't too much more to worry about. I missed a few scholarships because of how late I applied but if you apply early you have so much more scholarship availability than if you miss early registration.
Tips for prospective students 1) Apply early; I have full tuition covered currently and I even missed the early registration date. You can probably almost get a full ride if you qualify for early registration. 2) Visit the school; there is an event called Genesis weekend and it is a lot of fun and will help you get a much better grasp of the nearly unbelievable school atmosphere. 3) Genuinely try and care about your studies while you're there; it's hard not to learn something while your their but if you actually put effort into it there is a mindboggling storehouse of information and experience to gain from.
Great for these types of students There are many different types at this school; to come to this school requires a statement of faith, though certainly there are those here who are not truly Christian. With everyone wanting to be your friend and wanting to sit with you at lunch, it is difficult to avoid finding people you fit in with. I think anyone can fit in here but those who will truly thrive are the optimistic, outgoing, highly-motivated people who aren't afraid to ask questions and interract with the teachers yet also are okay with being swarmed with people every day.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Class sizes at Simpson are much smaller than at large public universities, which allows for more personalized, individual help from professors. The professors here are genuinely interested in what they teach, and they want you to gain a passion for what you learn, too.
Am enjoying being here I love the small community here at Simpson. The student body is like a giant family, everyone is encouraging and friendly. The campus is small but beautiful.
Bang for the buck Simpson isn't the cheapest school, but it's well worth the price you pay. They offer lots of financial aid too.
Tips for prospective students Apply early. There's a scholarship for applying early! Come visit campus. Meeting tons of people from Simpson is what confirmed for me that Simpson is where I wanted to go to school.
Great for these types of students Students who like small schools - you're a name, not a number. Students desiring to grow in their walk with God - you'll be challenged to grow daily. Students who like community.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Phenominal teachers/subjects, terrible financial aid.
Tips for prospective students Be on top of your finances! If you've got a career you like, then school will take care of itsself. However, finances sneak under the radar and before you know it, you may be paying $7,500 a semester. Ouch!
Dorm Life Can't say.
Food and Dining School food...
What to do for fun Disc Golf! If you're an outdoorsy person, there's ton to do locally. Love it.
Bang for the buck It's expensive.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a paint the rock ceremony, where students get the chance to vandalize a huge rock on campus. Even though it's not an official tradition, the staff tends to turn the other cheek.
Clubs and Activities Very student oriented
Greek Life *enter bible joke here*
Campus Safety Nothing unsafe ever happens here.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences It's a great place for someone like me who wants to go a small college with an strong Christian environment.The people are nice and the professors helpful. The chapel sessions are awesome and the weather is perfect.
Academic Rigor I attended a music history class and we started singing beautiful songs from hundreds of years ago. The professor was great and even asked my opinion on a subject. It seems like a very hands-on type of college.
Dorm Life I stayed in a dorm over night and I felt at home with the guys there. It was a good environment and it was lots of fun.
Food and Dining The food was fine, but I think they need a little more variety.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Going to a college where academic excellence and spiritual growth is top priority has challenged me to grow. The classes offered are taught by very intelligent and inspiring teachers that have expanded my thinking.
Am enjoying being here I feel priviledged to go to Simpson. The spiritual and encouraging environment has made me feel confident and spurred on to become more like Jesus. The kindness and compassion of the staff and student leaders has truly made my life at Simpson very enjoyable.
Bang for the buck The education, the campus, and the student to staff ratio is well worth the money that I am paying to attend this school!
Tips for prospective students Seek first the kingdom and all these will be added unto you. Seeking God and working hard will benefit any student that attends Simpson. Take advantage of the Chapel services and the opportunities to get to know the staff and students because community is a very important part of life of campus.
Great for these types of students Students who seek to grow in their relationship with God and others. Also, Simpson is for any student who wants an incredible education with sold Christian-based education.

Will enjoy being here As it has the majors and programs I'm interested in, I'm sure I would greatly enjoy being here.
