The classes are really small for the most part. I am a Pre-vet student, it's a popular major here so the classes get filled up quickly and are really full. They almost always open up another class to choose. The professors care about the students and usually have one-on-one sessions to help the students out to make sure they're getting the most out of their classes. The professors are passionate about their subjects and really know what they are talking about.

There are TONS of clubs to be apart of and there is always something to do on campus. There are intramural sports you and friends can be apart of...there's broom hockey, soccer, football, volleyball, and a bunch more I can't think of right now.

Tuition is expensive but if you want the best education....you got to be willing to pay.

Study hard in high school and do the ACTs and/or SATs. Make sure you are ready to be in college. Check into the size of school you want. Findlay is a small private school.

Equestrian and Pre-vet majors are very strong programs. Students looking into a pharmacy program as well.

The professors want you to learn all that you can. They are always helpful and provide a lot of help for you when you need it. The classes are challenging which makes learning the more fun. The programs this school has are top notch.

I feel so welcome in the small, school atmosphere. With only around 5000 students total, you get a nice close to home feel. The people here are so friendly and you almost don't miss home at all!

You get what you pay for here. The tuition is high because it is a private school. But with that tuition comes some of the best learning you will receive from any school around.

Make sure to get a high GPA in high school and do well on the ACT and SAT. Be prepared for some intense learning and a lot of studying. But also be prepared for such a fun atmosphere and an all around awesome school!

Prospective pre-vet students, pharmacy students, and equestrian students will be treated to the amazing and strong programs the University of Findlay has going.

Ever since I started attending this college I have learned a lot. This college is a college that will help you when you need help.

Yes, I really enjoyed being at this college.

The professors are there to help you with any type of problems you may have. I believe that if you are looking to learn more about the career that you are going into then you should really consider applying for The University of Findlay.

Students who are willing to learn

The staff and professors are so welcoming and the campus feels very safe. The barns are beautiful and the school puts so many resources into students' educations. The professors make a point of getting to know you and making sure that you are successful and reach your goals throughout your years here.

If you are an equestrian or animal science/pre-vet major, bring a car so that you never miss classes or rush to get from campus to them. Get involved in campus ministry; it's so much fun and the people are so loving and inclusive.

Most classes are pretty vigorous and really require that you study constantly, especially any of the sciences. There are very few classes that do not meet the standard of the rest of the school.

I live in Bare Residence Hall on the third floor and it is actually pretty nice. There's a big laundry room on the first floor but also a washer and dryer on the third that is never really hard to get access to. Housekeeping maintains the bathrooms and hallways very well. Most people are respectful of quiet hours, but the walls are pretty thin, so you hear a lot. The dorms are small, but not so small that you have no room, especially since you can rearrange the furniture and stack it if you want.

They try to make a lot of the food seem home cooked and make types of food that the majority of people like. The desserts are fantastic, plus there is always ice cream. As far as drink options go, there are many, even coffee. The on campus restaurants, especially The Cave, are amazing and accessible hours. The main downside to on campus dining is that there are not many healthy options.

There are a ton of clubs and intramural sports that you can join, whether you have experience or not. The campus ministry options are also great and they never turn anyone away or exclude people. There is a movie theater in town as well as many awesome restaurants. There are a lot of concerts within a two-hour radius, plus there are festivals during the warmer months and scare places during the fall.

Most professors do an amazing job and the degree programs are very through and go much more in depth than most school do. This is especially the case for environmental or equestrian students, who have access to state-of-the-art facilities.

There are red dots around the fountain, and supposedly if you step on them then you will fail your next test. If you walk under the arch before you graduate (and after the arch ceremony freshman year), then you will not graduate.

Study! The 2:1 study ratio is no joke nor is it exaggerated.

SO MANY! You really have no excuse to not be involved on campus. Whether it's campus ministry, Greek life, academic clubs, sports, or just fun things, there is always something to do.

There are a few sororities and fraternities, but since I am not part of one, I cannot give an opinion of them.

There are emergency phones throughout at campus and their are security patrols and surveillance, I still walk around at night with a buddy or with my keys between my fingers just in case though, especially since I am a girl.

The classes I signed up for interest me a lot, so I know I'll pay attention in class and learn. The professors seemed really friendly, down to earth, and honest about what they told you. They didn't sugar-coat things at all.

There are a lot of things to do related to horses and animals in general, and I love animals so I'll be joining quite a few of these clubs. The town is smaller, but still has everything you need without needing to go to a bigger city.

Although the tuition cost is somewhat high, I think it'll be worth the expense. They offer a lot of things to do for free it seems. Everyone is always willing to help, so you won't have to pay to go tutor somewhere else.

Be sure to visit campus, it really sells you on if you want to attend or not!

Farm-raised kids, students who don't want to go to a huge university, students who want a personalized education.

The University of Findlay is a very good and rigorous school. Most of the professors are very easy to get along with and they are passionate about their jobs. The campus itself is very small which makes everything convenient and a little more enjoyable in the winter.

Visit the campus! You will fall in love with it! Try to find a current student with the same major you're looking at and see what they have to say. There's a perfect college for everyone, you just have to find it.

Be prepared to study like you never had before. It depends what kind of high school you are coming from, but depending on your study habits now you're most likely going to have to change them.

Personally I am a commuter, but I have many friends in the dorms and have spent some time there. Comparing the dorm size to other colleges they are smaller at Findlay. On the positive side though, the buildings themselves are smaller so you get to know everyone. I don't hear very many complaints. Just have your mini fridge and bring a lot of pictures of friends and family and you'll be fine.

Meh. On college visit day there will be awesome food. That is the only time you will see this food. Other times it is good, but not excellent. There are always desserts that are very good. They have vegetarian options as well as a salad area, pasta, chicken and hamburgers stations. Take your pick.

The campus constantly has activities going on and there are many many different clubs and organizations to be a part of. You won't be bored. Just check your email or look at all of the banner across campus to see what's going on. The town of Findlay itself is awesome too. There are tons of restaurants and a decent mall.

It's expensive, but considering it is a private school it could be worse. If you did good in high school you will get a nice scholarship from the university itself. Apply to any outside scholarships you are eligible for, you won't regret it.

You name it, Findlay has it. Just pay attention the beginning of the semester and you will find the right clubs/activities for you.

This campus is a very safe campus and I have never been concerned for my safety. I had some classes that ended around 9PM and I always felt safe. There are several emergency centers on the sidewalks where you can press a button and help will come. I don't think it ever gets used though because it's never needed.

i love the university of findlay because of the small campus atmosphere. teachers and staff are always willing to talk to and help you with whatever you may need. classes are exciting and fun because the small class sizes allow for hands-on interaction and extra teacher attention.

tips for prospective students are the same at any institution. you should talk to different people, be open-minded, always ask questions and go see your teachers. it's okay to form relationships and get involved on campus. you can get yourself out there and network with all kinds of people.

classes can be easy or can be challenging. a lot depends on the teacher, the course, and your efforts and input.

dorms are awesome. you can make lots of friends and meet new people every day.

for the most part, there are lots of different options. the food is good and the dining hall tries to add in advice from students occasionally through surveys.

findlay offers lots of things to do. there are theaters, stores, restaurants, etc. on campus, there are events going on all of the time. headlining groups are often brought in and several organizations on campus offer several diverse activities. you should never get bored.

findlay offers my ideal college experience. there is a plethora of things to do on and off campus. everyone is friendly and willing to make new friends. the classes offer plenty of diversity and each teacher adds their own flair to the class.

the university of findlay has an arch that is only to be passed through on the first day of freshman year and on graduation day. if you go under the arch at any other time you will either not graduate or not graduate in your major. there are also red dots on campus in the sidewalks. if you step on one of these, you will fail a test. to compensate for this, the shaffer library has a globe on the 2nd floor. you rub findlay, ohio for good luck. the globe is actually indented and findlay rubbed off from so many people rubbing it.

hands-on learners and those willing to get involved and make friends will do the best at this institution.

findlay offers over one hundred organizations to be involved in. it is extremely easy to get involved and leadership opportunities are everywhere.

there is a multitude of greek life organizations both social and professional.

the campus is equipped with blue call towers if for whatever reason you feel threatened or need help with anything including your car or an injury. they go out extremely early on snowy days and do an amazing job clearing the snow and laying down salt.

All the professors that I have talked to know what they are teaching and talking about.

It is small but so friendly.

It is expensive but it is a private college so you have to be willing to pay for it, however many scholarships are available.

Look for scholarships, visit campus, and talk to the head of your major.

The professors are really down to earth and actually want to help you excel!

Everybody is so friendly! When I visited and went for registration, all of the staff and students there were wanting to help anybody who needed it.

You will definitely get what you paid for at Findlay!

study hard in high school and don't slack off if you think something is hard, keep at it!

Equine and pre-vet are very popular majors.

When I visited UF, the professors seemed very interested in wanting to teach you everything they possibly could. They also seem willing to help you one-on-one if you need it. The classrooms are the perfect size and you don't feel like just another number.

It sounds like there is SO much to do! I plan on being involved in a lot of the intramurral sports and possibly a few of the clubs.

Like everyone said, UF is expensive! But with an excellent staff and plenty of activities, the pay is well worth the great education I'll be getting.

The University of Findlay is big enough that you will make plenty of friends and will never be bored, yet is small enough that you're not just another face in the crowd.

Shy, quiet students who want to broaden their self-esteem.
