    I, along with 1200 other people came to the Central States Rotary youth exchange conference with a bad High being used who are going to high school in another country or coming to go to school here. The location is very beautiful and let me get the bad things out of the way first. Most of the buildings had just one little sign so you can't figure out where and what things are. I stayed in the dorm which was overall accommodating but they didn't have fitted sheets on the beds just some kind of weird little felt pad so essentially I slept on the mattress. Now for the good things; well-balanced and lots of options on the food, minimal use of disposables and styrofoam, a lot of environmental options. Although there was signage for compost there was no place to actually collect it. A very beautiful and walkable campus

    Fantastic place. Great people and inclusive community. The professors are amazing and they have handled COVID admirably.

    I can't even begin to describe the nightmare that is this university. Go here if you want to waste…read moreyour time, money and energy. I don't think there is one damn person in any one office that knows how to do their own job. They lost my transcript not once, twice, three times but FIVE TIMES I had to have it re-sent to them because they "didn't receive it" the first three times and then only could find part of it the fourth, which resulted in them signing me up for a class I didn't need only to find out two weeks after the semester started, and having to switch into the correct class late. That's not the only fax they've lost of mine resulting in me having to jump through hoop after hoop just to do something that should've taken hours, not days, and screwing up my entire schedule. I stayed maybe one or two nights in one of their dorms, hated it so much and asked to withdraw from student housing and they still charged me over 2 grand. The campus security is some of the rudest and most useless people I've ever encountered. They issue parking tickets every chance they can get, and one time I left an expired parking pass on my car and some bitch called me saying if I didn't take it off they were going to arrest me?? I called them to walk me back to my dorm one night because there are so many rapes on campus and they took 35 minutes to get to me. And one time I crashed my bike and was crying in class so they had the police called on me and the counseling office had the police FORCE ME against my will onto an ambulance and said I couldn't refuse treatment which made me miss both my classes that day and instead they took all my belongings except my underwear and had me sit in the hospital for NINE hours before a social worker walked in and said I could leave. This place is literally hell. Go somewhere else.

    Horrible school! They don't let you enroll in classes on your own. The advisors have an incredibly…read morehigh rate of turn over and will enroll you in random classes without telling you. At one point they unenrolled me in my degree program and changed my courses for the next semester without telling me. This made it so I couldn't graduate on time because the classes they had taken me out of were all full so I could not reenroll. They do not care about students!

    GR location - I am a fourth year student at Davenport University. My experience has been a…read morerollercoaster. As for campus life and environment, I have no complaints. Nice campus, maintained well, dorms are very nice, food is decent, etc. The negative side of everything is the staffing (outside of professors). Advisors, financial aid, and housing have been such a disappointment. You are not talked to professionally by staff in these departments. My advisor has given me a horrible experience. As a first time student, we do not understand credit requirements to the fullest, which is why we have advisors. Unfortunately, my advisors communication with me was and is terrible. Turns out they have been under scheduling me. There was no form of notice or communication about this either. I actually brought it to her attention because something looked off in my credits and degree completion. She then told me, oh you have only been scheduled for 12 credit hours a semester, a 4 year degree plan would be 15. I did have a different advisor my freshman year, switched my sophomore year due to sports teams. My advisor my first year was great and I was being scheudled the proper amount of class credits. This current advisor absolutely screwed me over. No I am stuck either taking double classes a semester, or taking an extra two semester due to her lack of communication. Seems like a money launder to me. Now for financial aid. Please, if you enroll here look through everything. Ask for an itemized receipt of your finances. There are several things that were missed on my aid. They almost did not even add my proper scholarships. Was not fixed until I brought it to their attention. It is so unfortunate I feel like I am doing half of the work the employees are supposed to be doing. Nobody does their job here and it is quiet ridiculous considering the amount of money you pay. Financial aid claims they are very flexible and can work with you through circumstances. By flexible, they mean only giving you two payment plan options, as high as 800 something a month for 3 months. (depending on your tuition price). It is still pretty annoying they don't work with your financial situations as they state they do. Overall, I don't mind my campus, athletics, and classes. DU NEEDS new staffing. It has honestly ruined my experience and it sucks to see I am giving them thousands of dollars.
