It is a small school, I have lived in Big Rapids my whole life. It is really nice to have the small town atmosphere here. I have just grown to be a bulldog!

What is unique about Ferris State University is the bond that all students have. Ferris State students tend to feel as if we are all in this together, and that if one individual is struggling with something and could use the help, there is always someone there to give a lending hand.

It has the feel of a large university in a small town. The teachers are more personable because they can actually engage with their students. There is a very community feel that is very welcoming.

The most unique thing about my school is the atmosphere of campus and how friendly all the student and teachers are, as well as campus being diverse and getting to meet unique people. Ferris State Univeristy is a place where you can feel comfortable and welcome without having to try.

The most unique aspect about Ferris is how the school comes together as a family. When you come onto the Ferris campus its like you're coming into its own little town. The whole campus is together and everything on the campus is devoted to the school. The school is very warm and welcoming like a family and all of the students are very friendly. It's very neat for a school to be as close as the students of Ferris are.

Ferris State University is very career focused. Classes revolve around teaching students what they need to know in the "real world." There are a lot of hands- on activities that help enage students and stimulate learning. Ferris has staff that are passionate about teaching. They are very helpful and willing to help.

There is a big support for the LGBT community. I think that's very important. There is a whole "Pride Week" where clubs celebrate the LGBT community and I find it interesting and wonderful that it doesn't seem to have any problems with people who don't agree with that lifestyle. It's when I see how supportive students are of the LGBT community that it makes me proud to go to Ferris.

Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University is defferent because the faculty takes time to focus on each individual student. Kendall College is a somewhat smaller school. This allows for class sizes to be small enough for every student to get to help they need from professers. Kendall is all about a creative solution to life. Any Kendall student is able to problem solve and quesion. Kendall is very unique in their belief in studio art classes. These studio classes are all about hands on making art in the classroom.

Kendall College of Art and Design has a wide range of opportunities for art students alike. They provide students with the resources needed to prepare us for our future occupation. The professors are kind and enjoy what they do, which makes learning more enjoyable. If someone ever needs help they are there to help weather it be personal problems or school problems. Kendall College of Art and Design has the community and atmosphere that other colleges don't.

Kendall College of Art and Design (owned by Ferris) is an art school. The learning we do is 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} hands on projects, some lecture is included but most of our classes are work days. Instead of sitting in a classroom waiting to get out and go home, I work on my projects and get advice for teachers who currently work in the graphic design field and my peers who are working on a similar project.
