申请点评
- Student Body: I really enjoy walking around campus, it reminds me of high school. At my high school, we had a very diverse student body but everyone got along great for the most part.
- Academic Experience: Most of my teachers are very involved an helpful with the exception of one. All in all my academic experience has been very nice and worth the money.
- Academic Experience: I'm still deciding and Rend Lake is very good about letting you know which Generals to get out of the way. The teachers are very nice an the Advisors are helpful.
- Academic Experience: I'm an occupational therapist assistant major, and my classes are extremely challenging which I love a challenge. I have been taking several electives, but all will help with something and will apply even though they are not required for my degree. I have taken one easier class because I work part-time and am a student athlete. I have also taken a couple classes that others would not even consider when taking a class for fun! Just like any other job in the medical field, a person must be dedicated to wanting to put forth their best in their academic work.
- Campus Resources: The facilities on campus are wonderful. We have a gym, an aquatic center, a student center, a library, a north and south oasis where students can go to study or mingle, a baseball field, and a frisbee golf course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love that this school offers us such great facilities to use as we please.*(4)
