Ferris State University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Jenna

I would consider the closeness of the campus community to be the best thing about my school. Ferris is set in a small, northern Michigan town. The small town feel gives the students at Ferris a closeness that students at larger universities don't get the chance to experience. I love walking through campus and seeing familiar faces, and I love the fact that I never feel isolated or alone on this campus.

Being that much of this survey had to do with the amount of diversity amongst my school, I would definitely have to say the diversity here is one of my favorite parts of this school. It's so intriguing to learn about other cultures and ethnicities. What influences their lives, how they live and deal with circumstances we've never dealt with is all so interesting. My next favorite part about Ferris is the fact that it's such an involved community. Alumni is wonderful, and the way the students support each other throughout any event is outstanding.

I think it is a very inviting campus. I also love that it isnt so big that you have to leave your house an hour before class to get there on time. It is a good town with just about everything you need, and the people at this school all seem to get along regarless of ethnicity and class standings. I love Ferris State University.

If I could travel back to my high school life and tell my self about college life it would be something like don’t give into fear. That transition was so big that I chickened out of chasing my dreams. It took me fifteen years to face the fear and it changed my life. School will be the most important thing you will do right now and it is totally worth it. If you are shy about new things then face then head on and do it with fake confidence because eventually it will turn into real confidence.

The best thing about Kendall College of Art and Design is the diversity of the students and the fact that they're all art students. We all understand each other in the fact that being artistic and brave enough to put yourself out there is hard, and derserves your respect. We're all students and we're all going to be practicing professionals someday, so there's very rarely any arguing or problems between students and faculty because they all understand the importance of networking and collaborating.

Emily

My school has a wonderful Pre-Dental program which is why I attend this specific school. Also, all of the staff are more than willing to guide me on my journey into this world of learning, and that is what most, if not all, students need.

Jamie

The best thing about Ferris is the sense of community. The faculty, staff, and students take great pride in the community and giving back to the city they live and work in. The community also takes great pride in having the university there, and always comes out to support the athletic teams and other campus organizations. You really feel welcomed from day one at Ferris.
