Brandon - 11/10/2019

It is a great private college and they are very good with academics. Classes can be a little hard, but that is why we have tutors that are entirely free for use. That is why this campus is great because there is always something going on every day from sports to fraternities or sororities. This is one of the best schools in Nebraska because you make a bond with all of your professors because this university is about the size of a regular high school.

Byron - 06/29/2019

My overall opinion is that this is the best college I have been to by far. They treat you with respect and respect your intentions in life. There are so many opportunities to be the best you can be. When I stepped on campus I just knew it was the place for me. The environment is laid back and everyone I have met has been awesome. Overall 10/10

Jeremy - 03/07/2018

This college provides a great opportunity for pre health professionals to gain the courses they need to succeed in grad school. The experience and knowledge gained allow for preparation in clinical careers as well as being prepared for administrative work.

Kalen - 03/06/2018

You can meet great people at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. The professors seem to care about your academic status the most because they want you to learn and be successful for your future. I feel the college hires friendly counselors, coaches, and mentors who can help you calm the storm almost when it comes down the wire for finals week, or sometimes it's called dead week. But, for the most part, it's a nice private college with no more than 10,000 students and they have nice facilities where you can work on schoolwork or sports.
