Laura
The extra curicular opportunities and the chance to become involved on campus and gain leadership experience.
Moira
The size. Large enough that there is a variety of people, but small enough to get the attention you need and you get to know many people.
Jaclyn
Its size is nice because classes are small and intimate. Students really get the chance to get to know not only each other but also the professors. Even in large lecture classes, it is possible to develop relationships.
Marshall
The size of the campus. It is very small, about 15 square blocks. Everything is within a five to ten minute walk. Its very nice, especially in the winter when it is dreadfully cold.
Caitlin
The professors are wonderful. They will go out of their way to help you with assignments, internships or job searches. They are passionate about their subjects and so knowledgeable. Drake's professors make time for their students and really get to know them, and are often available for outside help or even just to chat. I feel like my professors really care about me.
Adam
A nice campus with a good learning envrionment and strong academic programs for students looking to succeed.
Sarah
I think the best thing about the school is the small class sizes and availability of teachers. I also very much enjoy the social life, and that it seems most people want to be there to learn and socialize. I enjoy this the most because it creates a community feeling.
Christine
The best thing about our school is the size. Classes are mostly small, with the largest lectures being less than 200 students.; upperclassmen classes are smaller as people start specializing in their majors. Another part of this is that, because of the size of our school, students are generally able to create their own majors if their desired major isn't offered.
Emily
The best thing about my school is the variety here. Finding your niche is as easy as simply going to the activities fair and trying a few things out. We have over 160 organizations and if it's not here, you can create it! I thought it would be hard to make new friends and get involved, but within a few weeks I was involved and having the time of my life!
Kathleen
I love the big-school feel at a small school. We are a Division I school, so we have very competative sports teams, but the classroom size is small. You get one-on-one attention, but there is always something to do on campus because of the diversity of the organizations here.
