A tightknit small school, the professors know you personally and want to help you succeed, also the parties are lit

Ripon College is great, it would be better if there were more things to do in town or on the weekends, but the education and atmosphere is unmatched.
Overall 4
Fantastic School. Very small and professors get to know your name. Option to suggest classes of your interest and more often than not, a professor will offer to teach it. Small class sizes. Residence halls are great and we have some of the most friendly cleaning staff around.

AWFUL!
Overall 1.1
