Good reviews
Overall 4.6
Great school for good students. Anywhere there is always a 4% who think it's cool to gripe. Very good students. Great professors who care. Coe launches a high percentage of medical students, law students, MBAs, and other graduate study careers. If you're negative or coasted and a big deal in high school - not for you.

I love it here, everybody is so welcoming and nice. There are many athletic teams as well as clubs people can join. The housing is okay... a little dated but there are new complexes that are very nice. Athletic facilities are amazing and academics are very good also. I love it here!!!!

I love this school and all the opportunities it allows me to have. I never thought I'd go to a "small school" but no where else would I be able to have a full tuition scholarship for sustainability efforts and be able to work with all kinds of distinguished professionals. No where else could I go to 10 countries Europe for a term in my FIRST YEAR.

Coe is small, and in a bit of a depressed area. Still, downtown is a short walk away and you really get to know your professors and make some good friends. Not a party school

Horrible campus in the middle of a bad neighborhood.
Overall 1.2
This school gets way more of a good reputation than it deserves. The buildings, both dorms and academic buildings are horrible, and unless you drink or do drugs you will be bored out of your mind! This school seems to pride itself on having large amounts of homework, but is that what constitutes a good education? Hell no, terrible school.

Bad neighborhood-old facilities-sidewalks cracked/broken,when rains there is no draining,all the sidewalks along with the rest of campus flood-bad food-no flexibility in class scheduling,offer class only one time and only one semester-majority of teachers don't care about you-faculty makes students scape goat when they don't do their job correctly

They trick you by giving good scholarships and then youre stuck because credits dont transfer anywhere.
Overall 1.8
Coe isn't nice. Campus floods every time it rains. Walls and ceilings are moldy. Food is terrible. Just a bunch of small town Iowa kids who drink excessively.
