申请点评
- Academics at Soka are great! Just make sure you talk to other students about which classes and professors are best. Remember that everyone has different opinions and learning styles though! The admissions counselors at SUA are super sweet and will help you through 100% of the process.
- Really wonderful students attend Soka! Dating can be a bit difficult because the student body is so small but people do it.
- 98% of student receive some sort of financial aid. Financial need-based, athletic, merit and full-ride scholarships are available.
- he dorms are extremely nice - much better than the majority of colleges. Private bathrooms. Sophomore year and up you get a private room and you share a common room and bathroom with 1 roommate. Living rooms, computer rooms, free laundry, pantries with fridges, TVs.
- Soka was my first choice of colleges. It's definitely not the right school for everyone, though. If you really care about getting a transformative education inside and outside of the classroom, you should look into Soka. Being a student here can be very difficult but completely worth it.*(6)
