Good reviews
Overall 4.5
Dordt has been a great choice for me, because it is a good distance from home (3 hours) while still being full of new opportunities and independent living. The professors really care about my success. The friends I made have changed my world. I definitely recommend this college as a safe learning environment.
Overall 4.4
I had an amazing experience studying digital media and theatre at Dordt. Professors were great and very engaging. Class sizes were small enough that they genuinely cared about each individual student. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere, but there's always plenty to do, and you can make your own fun.
Overall 4.3
Great school. Professors are consistently phenomenal. Location is not amazing, and the provided food is okay. However the extraordinary academic quality of the professors more than makes up for the drawbacks.

It's fine if you are Christian. If not... Don't even bother.
