Graceland University is a unique Liberal Arts School. We have a focus on stimulating academics and invigorating campus activities. Professors are easily accessible with regular office hours as well as email communication. We have a great small little community-- professors even will have students over for home-cooked dinner sometimes, especially for international and long-distance students. We don't have Greek life, but each hall in the residence buildings makes up a House that also incorporates students living off campus. The Houses are a great source of community and activity and we have campus-wide activities that revolve around House competitions throughout the year. For example, every year in the fall for Homecoming, the Halls pair up to perform a five-minute skit to a movie of their choosing in front of the current campus as well as visiting Alumni. It becomes a full production full of props, costumes, and choreography. Lamoni, Iowa is home to Graceland University. It has a few restaurant and shop options, but most students find creative activities to occupy their down time that isn't spent studying. There are also several organizations on campus dedicated to providing these opportunities, such as recreational sports. Our school has a summer term as well summer international studies opportunities. We are small with a student population under 1400, but we have great class sizes-- few over 30, and some as small as 7 students. Overall, Graceland has a thriving environment and excited students. There are familiar faces to be seen anywhere on campus.

I love the atmosphere--it's like coming into a whole new world. Graceland has a pretty diverse population of students for being located in small town Iowa. It's known for being inclusive and I personally very much enjoy the liberal arts and humanities (as that's what I'm involved in).

SHAI

Very well rounded school. the teachers are some of the best i have encountered; they are very interested in your well being and are always there to help if needed. I would recommend this school to someone if they like small schools where everyone knows everyone.

Leila

In my opinion, Graceland University is a very decent, private college but offers much more than it looks like. Many alumni have achieved great success and made it far. Due to the fact that this is a small community, it is all about making close connections with the people during your college time. It is a great opportunity for making friends for life. It is a very sports oriented and active campus as well.

    I would tell myself to take advantage of every opportunity that was offered. Even though i've tried different clubs and events and they weren't always for me, at least I can say that I tried. I have no regrets and I would tell myself to make sure that you always listen to your gut, but don't forget that you should never stop yourself for going out for that team or making those friends because you weren't sure enough of yourself or you were afraid. Live intelligently, but also live adventurously.
