Calvin College has a bright, clean campus with a lot of opportunities to excel. If you find yourself on the track team, you'll find that they have excellent indoor and outdoor tracks. Get ready to lace up those spikes!

Calvin was fairly strict with its rules, but this is good if you are looking for structure and positive community. By far the best part of Calvin is its academics- I had knowledgeable, personable professors who encouraged me and prepared me well for graduate school. I was very close to my History professors and won the departmental award upon graduation.

Located in Michigan's most up and coming city (Grand Rapids) Calvin College makes it their mission to make sure every student there is flourishing in whichever field of study they choose to pursue. With over a hundred clubs and sports teams, Calvin provides every opportunity for a student to get involved and make everlasting friendships. While keeping the Christian faith as the foundation for the school, Calvin welcomes students from over fifty countries, with any type of background with open arms, as everyone is encouraged to 'think deeply, act justly and live whole heartedly.'

After my first Friday's at Calvin I knew this was the place for me! The campus is beautiful and the perfect size. All of the professors I met were great and the current students were all helpful and friendly.

This college had a booth at CIY Move last year in Michigan- and I have been interested in them ever since. My friend won a t shirt at their booth and when she wears it I am reminded that it looks like a great school!

Calvin College is a private college and what you would imagine it to be is mostly what you get. The academics of the school are at a good level, but you research what department you are going in to, just in case you are going in to art... The atmosphere and students there are absolutely amazing, and I have never doubted that this college was the right choice for me.

At Calvin, I have grown in a multitude of ways that I was not originally anticipating. I feel like I am a much more of a well-rounded person from taking the extra liberal arts classes. I'm SO happy I chose to go to Calvin.

Calvin challenges you academically. Calvin provides an environment for your faith to grow. Calvin is a terrific community where lifelong friendships are made.

Challenging. Fun at times. Cool Professors.

The community is very welcoming and the professors are quite friendly. However, the weather can get awfully cold and it can get quite depressing. Other than that, Calvin college has been a positive experience so far for me.
