Ferris State University Review Summary

Big Rapids, Michigan is home to Ferris State University, a university that isn’t very well known in most business and social circles. Reviews say that, in spite of its relative unknown status, Ferris State University offers a great education, great one-on-one teacher and student interaction, has excellent technical academic programs, and has some excellent professors. Ferris State University is “A Great Local Way to Broaden Your Horizons” and it delivers a “Big Town Education, Small Town Population”. Since Ferris State University is located in a small town, it isn’t a good choice for those who want big city entertainment and it’s also a poor choice for those who want a university with popular sports programs. But if a technical or other degree is what you want, the Ferris State University makes a good choice for College/University in the state of Michigan.

I had a great experience attending Ferris State University. I entered into an actual program straight from high school.

The experience from my internship was priceless. I learned an extraordinarily large amount on campus, and got to actually use it in an internship set up through Ferris for nine months. Upon my graduation I was presented with several job opportunities, and at very competitive wages for my field. ... review »

Big town education, small town population.

a serious student, paying for school

Ferris State University is a small town college with all of the resources, facilities, faculty, and equipment of much larger colleges and universities. Classes, on average, are composed at most of about thirty students. Small classes allow for more teacher-student interaction, and the professors actually know your name for more than just the time you have that professor.

Ferris has many top ranked programs, such as the pre-pharm and pharmacy school and many of the technology programs.

One of the drawbacks of the college is the surrounding atmosphere. Because ferris is based in a small town there...

If you want a smaller class size and a more community college like experience with more one-on-one interaction with your professors consider going to Ferris instead of going to a community college. The Pharmacy and Optometry programs are exceptional, and even in the smaller liberal arts programs, the professors are some of the most intelligent and experienced people who are respected in their fields of study. I learned invaluable lessons about the world and about myself in my four years here.
