K-College is a wonderful college, if you planAverageBiology
K-College is a wonderful college, if you plan on going to some form of Grad school. I myself did not and still have no idea of what I would like to do with my life after college. If you are similar to me, I would not suggest coming here to find a profession. Kalamazoo College is made for people of the elite intelligence. Being mediocre in high school will not cut it here. The academic life here is more than a notion if you are not very serious about school and even then I have found that it can be overwhelming to those elite individuals. I would call this Harvard w/o the name recognition. On the positive side the people here are for the most part cool, but if you are a shy person like me, you might have a hard time finding things to do on a Friday night. For guys, the women are below average, except a few members of the sports teams. For the ladies, well women outnumber guys here so have time picking out a sucker. I'm one of only a handful of African-American students here and the minority count after that isn't to high either. So if you like ethnic diversity, good luck and if not well Mr./Mrs. close-minded enjoy K-College. The dorms are relatively ok with exception of the mens toilet in Harmon Hall on the second floor overflowing every other day. All in all students who plan on being a white-collar worker, here's heaven. Those who plan on being a content average hard-working joe smoes like me, I would reconsider and maybe apply to WMU if you like partying. I heard that's all they're good for. Well enjoy!

Question
K is a place where you get outQuite BrightBiology
K is a place where you get out what you put into it. I know people who are unhappy here, and I know people who love it here. It really depends on you. The only complaint I have, after three years, is that the administration can be a little gossipy. If you stay on their good side, however, everything will be perfect.
