Compared to other schools I considered, Ferris offered more competitive, high-demand majors. Ferris is nationally recognized for many of their unique majors, such as their Pharmacy, Optometry, Automotive, Welding Engineering, Dental Hygiene, Professional Golf and Tennis Management, and Allied Health programs. Personally, I have met many students from all across the nation who chose Ferris because of the unique majors offered here.

This school allows students to be passionate and open minded with art, and provides them various opportunities to enter the artistic world. I am attending Kendall College of Art and Design, which is owned by Ferris State University.

The thing that is very unique about my school is how extremely friendly the people are here. Everyone cares about everone; there is nothing rude about this place. We have a sense of community here at Ferris State that you can not find anywhere else.

I would have to say the oppertunities was probably the unique difference between the schools I was considering. Ferris had so much more to offer me and that is why even though money was tight I knew Ferris was my best option in the end.

The thing that I found most unique about Ferris State University is that they have a consortium agreement with most community colleges, which helped with the cost of my college expenses incredibly. I was able to take most of my classes through a local community college and then am able to finish my degree off at Ferris State with only having to attend Ferris State for one year. They also have satellite campuses around Michigan that make it easier to attend classes in my area.

For me, the campus was far enough away to allow me to experience being out on my own, yet close enough to home that I could still have the comforts of home and the support which I may need being out on my own for the first time.

What's unique about Ferris State University, is the fact they offer courses through various off-site campus'. This makes is convenient for those who don't reside in the city of Big Rapids and/or are unable to travel to attend onsite classes. They take the extra initiative, time, resources to share their on-site professors with those who take off-site classes. These Professors travel to the various sites to teach. I appreciate the time and dedication the Professors offer, as they are great representatives for the school. I am an adult-learner, fulltime job.

After attending two other colleges, I have found that FSU is the best of both worlds when it comes to affordability and getting a real college experience that will last a lifetime.

What is unique about Ferris State is the unity students form when problems and opportunities arise. We are able to come together and prove what Ferris is capable of. Ferris has a lot of different student organizations that all serve one purpose, to get student involved. With many other universities, Ferris State promotes education and unity first, but also individualization. Without this, Ferris would not be set apart from other schools. Our wide ethnicity, individualization, and unification gives us an extra boost as to why we are the best of the best.

Ferris State University is an engaging school that prides itself on student readiness for the work force. With a mandatory student internship your senior year for most majors this sets Ferris alumni apart from the rest of the college graduates seeking employment. The internship helps build experience in the students’ chosen field of study and is what should set Ferris apart from other schools. Ferris also offers decent incentives for transfer students. As a transfer myself, the academic scholarship Ferris offered me far outweighed any of the other schools I considered which was the deciding factor.
