Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

According to students, if they were given the option to go to this school again, 69% of students would choose Ferris! The same amount of students surveyed said that they like most everything about the school and would only change a few things. Overall, students find that there are many great people to meet, and it's a good academic college. Though some stress the lack of entertainment and “city” things to do, if a person is content with small-town life, then this would be the best place.

The people and the faculty make Ferris a great experience. The faculty and staff are pretty helpful and understanding if a student needs extra help or is having problems with something. The school and faculty seem to care about the students and take an interest in students getting the help and the experiences they should. As long as the student puts in a decent amount of effort in their classes, faculty will be more apt to help.

Another great factor about the school is that class sizes are small, and there is more individualized attention for each student. Since the community is small, there are not too many things to do, but there are enough! There are several bars, a bowling alley, a movie theater, and tons of parties and get-togethers throughout the week. Since people seem to be so friendly on and around campus, it is easy to make friends and have something to do and someone to do it with! While in school, though education is the main focus, it is important to have some balance in life and join other groups and activities (which there are many to pick from).

Horrible school!

Ferris is a horrible school! Students are all hicks and from small rural areas. They are not open to anything, very close minded and not accepting! Faculty are very bias and are also from rural areas. They are not cultured or well informed about the current events outside of Big Rapids. There are good educational programs, however, admin and faculty are hard to work with! Everyone wears camouflage and the only activity they partake in is hunting or fishing. People here are extremes. The town itself has nothing much. There is one bar, WalMart and Applebees. Before choosing to go to Ferris, rethink what you want from your school. If you like camouflage and hunting, this is your school! If not, rethink your options.

The process was very easy to complete. It is a good idea to continue to receive good grades in order to get grants.
