You will definitely get your money's worth in academics at William Jewell College.

Great Value Education – There are a lot of majors, and when you earn your degree in the major of your choice, you are getting an education that is very valuable. You will be taught by GREAT professors and no other education will pay off more in the long run.

Choices, Choices, Choices – There is always something to eat. In the cafeteria itself, there are always at least three choices of entrees, plus pizza, pasta, salad, and cereals. If you don't like the menu in the caf, you can go downstairs to the Cage and order a hamburger, chicken wrap, chicken tenders, fries, and lots of other choices.

William Jewell College's student body is small compared to most others. For being a small student body, there is great representation. Last year, I believe there were 19 different countries represented. There are also different organizations, such as SAGE (Straights and Gays for Equality), Young Democrats, College Republicans, etc.

Chillin' on Campus – A lot of the nightlife happens on campus rather than outside of it. The Downtown Liberty Square is within walking distance and there are some shops and restaurants there, including one club for all ages (most nights). Also, if you have a car or a friend with a car, Highway 152 has a wide variety of decisions also.

Excellent Variety – The education here is a liberal arts education. Therefore, every student will not just acquire skills within their major(s), but also in other disciplines. The campus and student population is small, so everyone knows everyone. There is always something going on on the campus, so you will never be bored.

Parking Police – The school doesn't really have a lot of partying or cheating, so there aren't many who get in trouble for that (at least, not that I know of). However, I hear quite a bit about people getting parking tickets. These are easily avoided. Campus Safety will allow you to park in front of your dorm to unload your car, if you just call and ask permission. As long as you move it when you are done. This is the majority of the wrongdoings on campus.

Modern Melrose – I currently live in Melrose, which was just rebuilt a few years ago. I really enjoy it, but since it is only available to freshman girls, I will not have the same living situation next year. None of the other dorms are suite-style like Melrose, which means I will use a community style bathroom instead of suite-style. Melrose is very up-to-date, and the social aspects are good as long as you are willing to keep your door open so people can stop by your room and say hi!

Oh So Stylish – You expect to see a lot of lounge pants and over-sized sweaters from college students. Not at William Jewell. Everyone always looks their best, no matter how early their first class is. A lot of people enjoy the Perch (campus cafe) and the Cage (campus burger joint) in the Union, so a lot of people hang out there. You know everyone you see because the campus is so small. You can easily build relationships at William Jewell; everyone is so accepting.

Not Too Bad – The computers are pretty much always working. The internet is fast and reliable. Wireless access was easy for me, but some people do have issues with it occasionally. If living in a dorm, you will most likely want a personal computer to do your work on, but a personal printer wouldn't be necessary. The only thing there seems to be major issues with is printing; the printers print, but sometimes it takes multiple tries.
