The best thing about Augustana College is the variety/diversity of students that it brings in. There are students from about 13 different states and students from about 36 different countries. Yes, you heard me, THIRTY-SIX different countries. Also, since it is a liberal arts school, Augie has many artsy students, but the successful athletic program brings in great athletes too. I have met so many amazing people from such different background and have learned so much about myself as a result.

In my opinion, the best part about my school are the study abroad opportunities. Augustana provides programs that allow students to go almost anywhere. I have wanted to go to Ireland for as long as I can remember, and because I go to Augie, I may have the opportunity to spend an entire school year there.

Since the campus is small, everyone is very friendly and gets along well with pretty much everyone else.

Everyone is willing and happy to help out anyone in any way that they can.

I will be a transfer student at Augustana this fall and I am most excited about the size of the school. Coming from a large state school I am psyched to have small classes and really be able to get to know my peers and my professors!

We have a strong community feeling. It's small, only 1,800 students and because of that, everyone seems to know wach other. We're very friendly and have the typical midwest-nice. People wish to see their classmates succeed and we have an overall happy, friendly demeanor between students and faculty.

There's always something to do on Campus, you never get bored.
