I was able to take most of my classes through a local community college and then am able to finish my degree off at Ferris State with only having to attend Ferris State for one year. They also have satellite campuses around Michigan that make it easier to attend classes in my area.

For me, the campus was far enough away to allow me to experience being out on my own, yet close enough to home that I could still have the comforts of home and the support which I may need being out on my own for the first time.

What's unique about Ferris State University, is the fact they offer courses through various off-site campus'. This makes is convenient for those who don't reside in the city of Big Rapids and/or are unable to travel to attend onsite classes. They take the extra initiative, time, resources to share their on-site professors with those who take off-site classes. These Professors travel to the various sites to teach.

Our wide ethnicity, individualization, and unification gives us an extra boost as to why we are the best of the best.

Ferris State University is an engaging school that prides itself on student readiness for the work force. With a mandatory student internship your senior year for most majors this sets Ferris alumni apart from the rest of the college graduates seeking employment.

As a transfer myself, the academic scholarship Ferris offered me far outweighed any of the other schools I considered which was the deciding factor.

There is a big support for the LGBT community. I think that's very important. There is a whole "Pride Week" where clubs celebrate the LGBT community and I find it interesting and wonderful that it doesn't seem to have any problems with people who don't agree with that lifestyle. It's when I see how supportive students are of the LGBT community that it makes me proud to go to Ferris.

Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University is defferent because the faculty takes time to focus on each individual student. Kendall College is a somewhat smaller school. This allows for class sizes to be small enough for every student to get to help they need from professers. Kendall is all about a creative solution to life.

I attend Kendall College of Art and Design @ Ferris State University. It's a small off-shoot of Ferris, located in Grand Rapids Michigan. It is small and not like typical universities. You do not get the "typical" college experience at KCAD.

At Kendall College of Art and Design the students express themselves not only on paper and canvas but in their every day life styles. They're not afraid to be who they are....pink hair, funky outfits, all of it. This is important as an artist, to express one self, without judgement or ridicule. The studio classes really allow students to think through projects and bring them to life either on paper or in one of the many labs available to students...there's even a 3D printer...how cool is that! I enjoy the laid back atmosphere with Kendall.

I think that our school is unique in it's acceptance. We have many different clubs/organizations that attend to anyone's personality. Our staff is incredibly diverse as well as our student body. I'm proud of the acceptance I see on my campus daily.

The thing that is most unique about Kendall College of Art and Design is that the classes are very small. All the classes pertaining to my major are less then 15 students. Which allows for such an amazing learning environment the professors are very approachable and easily available even during class periods.

It is a personal environment that the proffesors take time to spend with the individual.

Small town, but close enough to travel to a large town (Grand Rapids) Friendly, personable

Ferris State University is unique in that it offers bachelors degrees through the college of Technology. This is unique in that you can get degrees in welding technology, automotive engineering technology, etc. It offer the opportunity for degrees tht are both acedemic and hands on. FSU is also unique in that it is a medium size state school in a very small midwestern town. It is a relaitvely large campus in a rural area.

The location of this school is very unique compared to the other schools I considered when considering a nursing school. It was quite a culture shock when I first moved down here but I am enjoying my experiences down here. I grew up in a military family and as I was growing up we moved around a lot as a result, but I have always been fond of interacting with new cultures and understanding how they work. I am enjoying my time down here, especially the food and the proximity to the beach.

The school I chose to go to is unique and different from the other schools that I applied to because of its raw artisitic talent, strong work ethic and diverse student population. The skill and success in the work done here is inspiring while the work ethic of the school and its students is expressed through the work. Another unique atribute is the students that are local as well as students that come from around the world, and their different perspectives are special and appreciated.

Ferris State University has a multitude of resources and great people. The student?s are friendly, the staff provide great classroom environments and this school has a positive atmosphere. Ferris is not what you would call a big university, with a total walking distance from end to end of 15 minutes, you can be late and still be on time. It?s great, and you can?t say that about most other large campuses across America. With beautiful scenery and an ever changing weather schedule this school has pleased me.

It's a small community, and everyone seems to be really nice. I love the campus and the acitivities there are to do there. I would recommend Ferris to my friends, its a good learning enviroment and the people are awesome and so are the professors.

I think the school is unique because of its location in Central Michigan. It is a fairly large school in a town of only about 12,000 without students. The town doubles with the students. I think that Ferris State University makes the town who they are, which makes it very unique.

small town and many fulbright scholar professors

I find that the professors truly care about you. They make sure that they are available for all ot your needs.

I didn't really consider any other schools.

its diverse as well as welcoming.....people arnt affected by race really its just more open and friendly

There are a lot of really unique programs and majors such as PGM, Pharmacy, Music Industry Management, Plastics, and so many others. The professors here are all characters in their own way, and mostly every one of them will be one of the best professors you've ever had. If not, they will at least make you laugh! This campus can be whatever you want it to be. If you want a close intimate Community College experience, it could feel like that. Then, if you get involved, it could seem like a much larger campus. I absolutely love it.

My program was the deciding factor for me. Music Industry Management is the whip shit.

I did not consider any other schools. Ferris State University is a very specialized, yet diverse school. It has numerous programs varying from construction management to dental hygiene to professional golf management to optometry. I've never met anyone who has come to Ferris without a major in mind. Students may go to other universities with an "exploratory" undeclared major, but not here. I like that. We also have a great hockey team!

Ferris State University is unique because of the top quality of the programs that are provided for students. This school consists of programs that are ranked as best in the state and even some of the best in America. Such programs are welding, criminal justice, professional golf management, as well as health related courses. The education at Ferris State is top notch and attracts students from all over America. I have met students from California, Montana, Oregon who have travelled all the way to Michigan because of the education that Ferris State provides.

close connection, more of a community based feeling.

It is the only college in Michigan with a program in forensic biology.

To me, the most unique (and one of the reasons i came here) is that it is one of only three schools in michigan to have an accredited pharmacy program. It is also one of the top pharmacy schools in the U.S. (from what i have heard). There are a lot of schools that have Pre-Pharmacy programs however you must then transferr to a school of pharmacy (such as ferris) to get your degree, here at ferris you can get your pre-pharm AND your Pharmacy degree all in one place.

There are alot more people here that act the way my friends act back at home.

Go tubing and get drunk on the Muskegon River

I love that the class sizes are not extremely big. I think that FSU has a very good teacher to student ratio, and all of my teachers have seemed very interested and passionate about their job. They like to see their students succeed.

Its small and big at the same time
