Victoria - 03/20/2023

The University of Findlay defiantly is not for everyone. It is small and there is not a lot to do around the school so that forces people to get out of their shells and join campus life and make friends. The food from the dining hall is really hit or miss, the breakfast is very good but dinner is normally bland. The refinery is where you can use your campus dollars and I enjoy the variety that it offers. I like the University of Findlay because I like to have a small group of friends and a small class size, but I can see how that would be a negative aspect for some people.

Emma - 03/09/2023

The University of Findlay has an excellent Animal Science program and a well-planned and thought-out Pre-vet program. The University of Findlay is a very clean and safe campus with many friendly faces. The University also has gorgeous horse farms for both the English riders and the Western riders. The campus has built-in support systems whether it's for a student's mental health, physical health, or if they need help in a class. The staff and faculty are very nice and are always willing to help out.

Cassidy - 01/01/2023

The atmosphere and culture of the campus community is very supportive and welcoming. The professors, extracurriculars, sports, and hands-on learning, as well as the animal science barns, equestrian facilities, and athletic facilities, are excellent. Housing, especially the upperclassmen options, are good, and the campus is safe. The faculty and staff are friendly and accommodating, and want to help students succeed in all aspects of their time at Findlay, not just academically but also through personal growth.

Allison - 11/16/2022

It is a beautiful campus and just an all-around great place to be, and I can't wait to spend more time there in the fall. I felt extremely safe on the campus and felt it would be a great place to learn. I enjoyed the hands-on approach to my major.

    My major is not one of the big ones at this school, so my education is not as good as it could be in a location that was more supportive of my major.
