Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

If you talk to Rhodes upperclassmen about their college experience, most will say that they're glad they chose their school. When it comes down to it, Rhodes pairs a phenomenal educational experience with a down-to-earth, welcoming atmosphere that alums fondly reflect on. The professors care more than you can possibly imagine. They have high expectations and do their best to challenge students, but they are also there to be mentors or even friends. Students are encouraged to explore their interests, discover passions, and fight to reach their full potential. Students who are unhappy at Rhodes tend to feel suffocated with how small the school actually is. It can be difficult to find a niche, and sometimes it's frustrating seeing the same people everywhere you go. The workload isn't exactly easy, either. Before enrolling, you have to be sure you're looking for such a small environment. There are definitely pros to it—the teacher/student relations, small class sizes, personal attention, a "community" feeling. But the students who are unhappy are typically the ones who realize they belong at a much larger place.

Students who remain at Rhodes say that, even if they were initially dissatisfied, they are so glad they stayed. At the very least, they know that they're graduating with a solid education and the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the "real world," whether that means going straight into the workforce, beginning graduate school, living abroad, or anything else a fully-equipped Rhodes grad could possibly want to do. Rhodes is a great community, and any driven, passionate student would be lucky to be a part of it.

Professors

The professors here at Rhodes are some of the best in their field. Many of the teachers hold their doctorates in their field and have penned dozens of books. They are all so incredibly helpful and want to see you succeed. However there are those few sour apples. So always take care to look at the professor who is teaching your class before you sign up. The teacher can make or break your grade.

The Best School in the South

I had applied to many wonderful schools and was honestly shocked to find that Rhodes is one of the best schools I have come across between myself and my friends from home. The academics are top notch, the social life is amazing, and the student community and involvement in the school and in Memphis is unparalleled. I have gained so much from this school and cannot wait to continue my journey. Rhodes students study hard and are extremely focused on their academics and their future. But we are also extremely determined to have a good time at the same time. We party just as hard as we study, and with our caliber of academic excellence, you can be assured that we rage just as hard. There is not one day or night that here that I would take back at this school and I hope that all potential Rhodents allow themselves to experience one of the best schools money can buy.

Off-Campus Dining at Rhodes College

It's Memphis

The off campus dining is amazing.Especially the BBQ, but that is a given since it is Memphis. But there is everything you could want all within a 5 mile radius of campus, plus there is excellent dining downtown and in Germantown. Basically you will starve at Rhodes, but in Memphis you will be just fine.
