“I've only been here a few weeks, butQuite BrightUndecided
I've only been here a few weeks, but I'm having a great time of it. "K" college is just as expected and I'm looking forward to 4 great years!
All my professors are nice and friendly, and my first year seminar is pretty cool.
Of course, I have only been here a few weeks and I've been told to wait till 5th and 6th weeks and THEN say I like it... and that the workload isn't that hard...

“My experience at Kalamazoo College has given meArt & Design Department
My experience at Kalamazoo College has given me the necessary tools to succeed in whatever path I've taken since graduation. The key skills I learned at 'K' include time management skills, goal-refining skills, and the ability to find ways to continually challenge myself further in new projects and endeavors. I believe 'K' is most rewarding to those who have a high degree of ambition or those who are willing to explore new resources and develop new relationships. Programs I took advantage of include: GLCA New York Arts Program; study abroad program in Tokyo, Japan; and the SIP Abroad Fellowship for students wanting to do their senior project overseas.
The well-rounded education 'K' provides will create a flexibility after graduation that I believe is hard to find in graduates from other schools. For example, I majored in Art and will be applying to business schools this Fall in pursuit of an MBA. I also have a friend who graduated from the Health Science Department, worked in a research hospital long enough to contribute to a published paper, and is now at the top culinary school in the US. Although I am still paying on my student loans, I consider the money well spent. And I look forward to donating money back to 'K' in the future to help improve the experience of current K students.

“I would not rec this school to anyoneSuper BrilliantPsychology
I would not rec this school to anyone who is out of state and feels uncomfortable around a very homogenous group of other people. Everyone here is white, well-educated, from Detroit (or one of its suburbs) and comes from an upper-middle class background. The social life here is not great - you really have to be creative in finding things to do, and the parties here get old like halfway through your first year. K students do have an advantage with the police, though - they want to maintain our reputation, so rarely arrest any of us if imbibed or stoned out of our minds. But - don't come here if you are looking for a good time ... you will spend your four years of college studying, studying, studying, and thats it! If you want to have a balanced college experience, look elsewhere.
