awesome school. always things to do so happy i decided to attend Stephens.
Overall 4.1
I personally love the school. Prior to this, I transferred from two other schools that I was miserable at, and now I am very happy and extremely focused on what I am studying. The people are wonderful, I love the majority of the professors that I've had so far, and the campus is small and quiet. Plus, Columbia is a great city to be in :)
Overall 4.1
All women campus is actually great. Great extra curricular sports and activities, lake, stables, theater. Excellent tenured teachers, small classes and no TAs.
Overall 4
Really good location, a few blocks from big 10 school but you still get small class sizes. All the professors really care about your well being and success in class and outside. Dont have a club you want? You can make one. Lunch is always super good, dinner is hit or miss. Some dorms are super nice and others not. Lots of work opportunities.

I wouldn't do it again. The people aren't nice, the college isn't good, and there are GENUINELY only four professors I had that were nice, and two of them were fired seriously. In the end it did way more harm than good.
