She told me I had 23 credits left and gave me a schedule of remaining classes that I had begun taking. After spending thousands of dollars and getting an 4.0 in the classes I was told to take. The director at the time said she was confused if I needed to retake classes. I went over her head and found out I did not. She got very embarrassed and mad and said I would have to retake every class and instead of 23 credits it would take 3 years to graduate.

DON'T APPLY IF YOU'RE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT! The faculty,…read moreprofessors and the local students here are extremely prejudiced, conservative and discriminating. Some professors are very under qualified, and has no idea what they are teaching. Overall vibe here is very depressing and dull, noting to do around Mount Pleasant, bunch of weed shops, cultist churches and unwelcoming townies, which makes you never want to leave your room. Extremely isolating environment. The faculty and students treat international students very horribly, and management does not take such concerns seriously.

I found this place to be unique with their degree programs. The admissions counselors were really amazing with their job, and they were also sympathetic with me when I told them about something traumatic that I went through when I was 18. I can't wait to get their Master's degrees in Cyber-crime and Digital Investigations, along with a Law Enforcement Intelligence and Analyst. Basically a dual degree.

Do you know what a Scot is???? I do now…read more A Scot is the schools mascot. A burly scottish man on steroids wearing a kilt. Kinda cute. My daughter is one now. She was accepted into their dance program and recieved a scholarship for dance and merit. I went here with my daughter on Scot Day. That's when kids and parents attend an all day meet the school and faculty and see where your child is going to go(and your money). This turned out to be a great day. I was impressed with the facility. They have a great combination of new and old facilities. We met the new President of the College and many of faculty. The sun was shining, the food was good(they fed us), and the everything went well. My daughter made an observation, "everybody here seems so friendly". Here are a few other things to note about the college.... Alma College boasts a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, a liberal arts approach to undergraduate education, over 40 majors, minors and pre-professional programs, the chance to self-design programs of emphasis and an intensive Spring Term that provides opportunities for innovative courses, travel classes, research and internships. Since 2003, 20 Alma College students have won prestigious national fellowships, scholarships and awards, including 10 Fulbright fellowships and multiple Udall, Truman and Gates-Cambridge scholarships. Alma's Nationally Competitive Scholarship Committee identifies and nurtures exceptional candidates for nationally competitive scholarships, grants and awards. Alma College students are annual high achievers in the national Model United Nations competition. Alma has received Outstanding Delegation awards in each of the last 12 years at the world's largest and most prestigious collegiate Model UN Conference in New York City. In regional competition, Alma has earned 31 Outstanding Delegation awards over the last 15 years. This should be a great fours years....Look for me next time wearing my Alma hat.....

Some have referred to Alma as Harvard on the Pine, because of the scholastic rigor and location on…read morethe Pine river. I am an Alumni, and have very fond memories of Alma. Several of my family members have subsequently attended Alma. Alma has certainly prepared me for my further academic pursuits. However, I must still rate it 3 stars, and here is why... The education is strong, but primarily because the students are driven and well picked by admissions. I believe that the students of Alma College would have succeeded and shone brightly anywhere they studied. Unfortunately, the price of Alma is hindering to many of the Graduates given the current economic climate. They put more effort into asking for Alumni donations after you graduate then helping you connect and move up. Some of the professors are remarkable! Some just aren't. There are professors with agendas, as there are everywhere. However, I feel it is obvious at Alma. I would not recommend Alma for the professors in general. When I was a student the interim president made it very clear that student safety was not an agenda! Student congress squanders money, and is cliquey if not down right rigged. The food is great! However, if you look at the price per meal you might wonder if it is worth the price. The campus is beautiful, and the arts are decent. I will stop there. I loved Alma, and I miss it dearly. However, if you are looking to stand out from the crowd then do the work, bleed, sweat, and apply to one of the top 20 colleges in America. If you don't get in then I recommend you take a year to work and travel after high school. When you return find a solid Community or City college with a transfer option to a good state school. Then plan to get your Masters right after. If you are really committed to your field then earn your Ph.D. and go teach at Alma!

Worst 3 years of my life that I will never get back. The classes aren't terrible if you take them…read moreonline, But the students here are horrible and so is the area in general. It's a strange combination of ultra liberal party animals with no life goals or morals and ultra cliquish church kids. Not a whole lot in between. Campus housing makes no effort to give you compatible roommates and will often stick you in with the exact opposites. I had to change dorms 3 times before saying screw it and getting a studio. And only expect about 1 month of nice outdoor weather during the school year. Be careful and watch your back when doing anything fun as the area is known for a lot of "Karen's" and asshole police officers that will go after you for anything even if it's not criminal. Campus police made no effort to investigate my $700 stolen bicycle or vandalism to my apartment but had no problem investigating me multiple times for "riding my bike in a neighborhood I didn't live in" and "flirting with the wrong girls". Campus dining is decent but has gone way downhill in the last few years. The football team is great for D2 but absolutely nobody here has school spirit and leaves the games right after they begin. I was lucky enough to get out of this place right before the pandemic hit but I feel sorry for anyone still stuck here on campus. Save yourself the drama and just educate yourself virtually.
