    I, along with 1200 other people came to the Central States Rotary youth exchange conference with a bad High being used who are going to high school in another country or coming to go to school here. The location is very beautiful and let me get the bad things out of the way first. Most of the buildings had just one little sign so you can't figure out where and what things are. I stayed in the dorm which was overall accommodating but they didn't have fitted sheets on the beds just some kind of weird little felt pad so essentially I slept on the mattress. Now for the good things; well-balanced and lots of options on the food, minimal use of disposables and styrofoam, a lot of environmental options. Although there was signage for compost there was no place to actually collect it. A very beautiful and walkable campus

    Fantastic place. Great people and inclusive community. The professors are amazing and they have handled COVID admirably.

    Horrible school! They don't let you enroll in classes on your own. The advisors have an incredibly…read morehigh rate of turn over and will enroll you in random classes without telling you. At one point they unenrolled me in my degree program and changed my courses for the next semester without telling me. This made it so I couldn't graduate on time because the classes they had taken me out of were all full so I could not reenroll. They do not care about students!

    GR location - I am a fourth year student at Davenport University. My experience has been a…read morerollercoaster. As for campus life and environment, I have no complaints. Nice campus, maintained well, dorms are very nice, food is decent, etc. The negative side of everything is the staffing (outside of professors). Advisors, financial aid, and housing have been such a disappointment. You are not talked to professionally by staff in these departments. My advisor has given me a horrible experience. As a first time student, we do not understand credit requirements to the fullest, which is why we have advisors. Unfortunately, my advisors communication with me was and is terrible. Turns out they have been under scheduling me. There was no form of notice or communication about this either. I actually brought it to her attention because something looked off in my credits and degree completion. She then told me, oh you have only been scheduled for 12 credit hours a semester, a 4 year degree plan would be 15. I did have a different advisor my freshman year, switched my sophomore year due to sports teams. My advisor my first year was great and I was being scheudled the proper amount of class credits. This current advisor absolutely screwed me over. No I am stuck either taking double classes a semester, or taking an extra two semester due to her lack of communication. Seems like a money launder to me. Now for financial aid. Please, if you enroll here look through everything. Ask for an itemized receipt of your finances. There are several things that were missed on my aid. They almost did not even add my proper scholarships. Was not fixed until I brought it to their attention. It is so unfortunate I feel like I am doing half of the work the employees are supposed to be doing. Nobody does their job here and it is quiet ridiculous considering the amount of money you pay. Financial aid claims they are very flexible and can work with you through circumstances. By flexible, they mean only giving you two payment plan options, as high as 800 something a month for 3 months. (depending on your tuition price). It is still pretty annoying they don't work with your financial situations as they state they do. Overall, I don't mind my campus, athletics, and classes. DU NEEDS new staffing. It has honestly ruined my experience and it sucks to see I am giving them thousands of dollars.
