Even if the food isnt 5/5, they give you plenty of options that make up for it. Still miles ahead of HS lunch, and at about the level of a 3-4 Star restaurant.

I would not have made it through college if I had not gone to Albion. The professors are outstanding and will help you if you are having problems in your personal life. You will make lifelong friends and valuble professional connections. My Albion education has contributed to meaningful employment and a happy life. Io Triumpe!

I have so far loved my professors and if you know what opportunities to use and habits to get into, it really sets you up for success.

None.

The college is good with supplying you with resources and helping you with personal interactions with the professors and other faculty. They even fixed a problem with a loan due to a miscommunication with the private loan company (shout out to Trevor). There is a lot of opportunities that you should take advantage of. The wifi is bad at times thou.

Albion is a great small private college that offers a lot to those students who are willing to work hard and want to be involved academically and socially!
Overall 4.1
Nice campus, and the people are very friendly. The town is up and coming and has a cute coffee shop, a brewery, and a vintage movie theatre (and students get in free!)

Like any small school, Albion has its quirks, but that's what makes it so lovable. You could not pay me to leave this place. I couldn't have picked a better school to spend the best four years of my life at.

Awful, I hated it, the only redeeming quality was the professors. Only cared about your money.
Overall 1.3
Horribly liberal, this college spits on anyone who thinks for themselves and theres a solid chance youll be expelled if you say anything pro-conservative or free thinking at all. No companies care about the education you get here either and your already numerous steps behind those who go to bigger and more well known universities.
Overall 1.4
There isn't that much inclusiveness or diversity.
Overall 1.6
Reputation- school is so broke, obviously a PWI. Location- terrible, nearest stores are 30+ minutes away. Opportunities- professors left- departments are near empty so minimal opportunities. Facilities- Ive had 2 dorms flood in 2 seperate buildings. Fire alarms go off for nothing. Internet- BAD. Safety- No cameras in student parking lots.

Very small campus with bad food

Do not go to this school. It is a waste of time and money. They care more about diversity and inclusion and not academics.The administration is awful and the professors aren’t much better. There are a few good professors but they seem to be leaving. The remaining professors main objective seems to be pushing their political opinions on students.

Terrible atmosphere here, president of the college doesn't care for diversity or inclusiveness. Classrooms are out of date and so is the material. Not much to do on campus or in town. The professors are professional and do well with what they have. Terrible college, would not recommend. Also stay alert, poor security on and around campus.
Overall 2
Less Freedom here than at high school. Isolated college and town. The economy of the town is revolved around the college. Little choices in classes. Was not allowed to choice own classes. People baby you here.
