Ferris State University Top Questions

If you are not open minded, there isn't really a place for you here- this school is highly accepting of all people in a really fantastic way. Aside from being open-minded socially, you have to also be open to the material you have to study. You have to be ready to learn a large amount of material use it, and if you have a tendency to get lazy, then I guess it isn't for you. I think anyone can do it, if you were really determined, though.

Self motivated students should attend not only this school but any school.

Close-minded people should not attend Kendall College of Art and Design. It's a visual arts college, so people express themselves more freely, more comfortably, then they would or might even be able to at a traditional kind of university. That's what I think kind of sets this school apart from any other kind of college experience I could have ended up with. I don't feel like I can't express myself, and I'm surrounded by so many creative people all the time that I feel it helps me flourish as a designer, too.

Someone who is looking to get a job after college. Ferris is a great net working school.

A person who is shy and doesn't like social situations, and isn't willing to make friends.

The individual's who should not attend, and I'm going to be honest, are the individuals who are not self motivated to complete the courses. If someone is going to attend a 4 year college with the financial aspect of paying over 20,000 a year they should be prepared to take their situation of being in college seriously. I understand that college brings someone to a different environment and it is okay to have fun. However, when you are there, you're there to learn not just have fun, and what is being taught will not be forgotten.

Any type of person should feel welcome to attend this school. The school is very open and helpful to students from all walks of life, age, gender, ethnicity, etc. I have never had any experiences with racial issues at this school. The school is very diverse and students who attend seem to be genuine and kind; all attend for the same reason. That is to obtain an academic degree to further themselves in life. The Professors are kind, knowledgeable and always willing to assist and guide. Ferris State University is considered a school of excellence, in my opion.

Everyone should attend FSU! It is a great school with something for everyone. It is friendly, accepting, and educational. No matter in or out of the classroom, Ferris students stick together and become one. No one is left out here. We're all just friends going to school together.

I think this school is really made for anyone, its not to big or too small and everyone is always looking out for eachother

If you're looking for something "big" or something in a city where there's tons of new things to do, you probably shouldn't attend Ferris. It's a small town and there's not a lot to do in the town. There's a small movie theater, and some other places, but there's no "big town" experience. It's a small campus.

The campus and town are pretty small. If you like living in a bigger city with a lot of different things to do, then I wouldn't reccommend this university. That being said, there are also various activities to get involed with on campus to stay busy. The outdoor life is also very nice. If you like hiking, exploring, or anything water related, it is definitely a good place to be.

i dont know

Ferris being such a small campus makes it easy to meet many new friends and participate in the community. I think Ferris is good for someone who is nervous to go away to college because it is so small that it feels like home. You also get a lot of one on one attention with teachers since most classes are about the size of a high school class. I think someone who struggles with school would do well at Ferris due to the close attention and the many free on campus tutors.

People who have issues with entertaining themselves. It is a small school in a small town so there isn't always exciting things happening.

Someone who is very eccentric or from a very urban area. This school is somewhat constricting because many of its members are from rural areas, and more eccentric or urban people, it's a hard adjustment.

When I came to Ferris I learned the best way to love the school was to get involved in the school. Join any activity you can. Go check out any event. And do not blow off FSUS! It’s your way to find out more about Ferris, and it gets you involved in Ferris.

I seriously believe everyone could attend this school! Ferris State is so diverse and has so many different clubs and activities that there is a place for everybody! I haven't heard of anyone saying they feel left out or that they can't find any firends to "click" with! My favorite part of college is the specialized feeling you get when you enter your later years at school and find that everyone is on the same page as you are! Maybe everywhere is like this, but Ferris has perfected it! My prefessors are retired from the fields they teach!

Someone who is not willing to go out and make friends, or someone who wants to go home every weekend. Ferris offers many opportunities to go out and participate with the college and community, if you do not you many not get the full experience and enjoy it.

A person that does not want a collage degree.

A bad candidate for a student who may be attending or trying to attend this school would be someone who does not want to be open to diverse views. Our world is changing, there is not divide between colors or races or religions. If you are stuck in the past and still see a line of divide for diversity this is not the school for you.
