Calvin College Top Questions

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the heavy amount of homework that is often given.

I consider the cost of my school to be the worst thing about it. I had a friend who attended last semester but was unable to afford the tuition for any longer than that. She loved the school and everything about the community, and she was incredibly dissapointed when she realized that she could not make it work. I think Calvin is such a great place that it should be made affordable for everyone who is accepted.

Our Orientation programs. Hands down. There are three Orientation things all freshman are required to participate in: Passport (a two-day summer evnt), Quest (4- day program before classes start in the fall), and Prelude (half-semester class). All three are packed full of unneccessary time-wasters and are almost as annoying as they are worthless. OK, maybe that was a little harsh. But you get the point. Not fun. But you survive, and every thing else here is way worth it.

It's very expensive!

I love my school so much, it's hard to think of anything negative. If I had to pick something, I think the worst thing about my school is the cost of tuition. Though it's definitely worth it, it would make things much easier for me and for my family if we didn't have to worry about finances so much.

No major complaints about the school in general, just certain teachers which is to be expected.

The open house hours. They should extend them.

hypocrites

The location and climate isn't great here. Michigan is a sad, rainy, depressing place, not to mention how bad the local economy is.
