Class sizes are smaller than at many larger schools, so you really get to know your instructors and the fellow students. They also have a very good exchange and international program with lots of opportunities to meet international students on campus or study abroad. Take advantage if you have the opportunity!

BEWARE OF THIS COLLEGE. They do a really good job of making everything seem amazing and great when…read moreyou do tours and you don't see the bad stuff until you're already enrolled. They do not clean the communal dorm bathrooms or buildings at this school, they cheap out on custodial services and the people that are supposed to clean do not and only take out the trash, the buildings are very old and disgusting and they deceive new incoming students or new applicants by only showing them their newly renovated or built buildings. This school only gives money and funding to sports and science and literally NOTHING else, multiple racist and bias incidents by students and professors happen every year and nothing is done.

I suggest you read the filtered reviews in addition to the unfiltered ones to get a better idea of what Shimer is about. I have no idea why 25 of the reviews (many of which are from friends of mine) are hidden.

I have left Shimer College after 3 semesters for another university in the city. While I would not…read moreoutright dissuade anyone from considering this college, I will say that I left because I was unhappy with most aspects of the school. The student body is limited both in size (less than 100) and diversity of any sort (racial, political, ideological). For the price of approx. $24,000 there is no real campus and resources are severely limited . Student services are next to nonexistent although efforts are being made to change that. Academically it is hit-or-miss. As with any school one must ultimately take charge of their own education. Some of my experiences here did a great deal to foster my growth as a critical thinker and I appreciated the emphasis on reading original source material... However, the academics of this school are a bit overrated by its supporters. I felt that too many of the students at the school seem to have found a home at Shimer because they are curious but lack the academic ability for a more rigorous school. At a small school, w/small discussion based classes, that negatively impacts everyone's educational experience. Professors teach all subjects regardless of their background. Someone who's academic pedigree is in literature will be teaching your science classes. I found the administration to be quite dysfunctional. A brief, unscientific survey of students who have graduated immediately before and during my time at Shimer finds a sizable number ( greater than 40%) unemployed, underemployed, or working for the school as labor. This speaks to those, like myself, who want a solid, liberal arts education but plan on a career outside academia. If one does attend Shimer and later decides to transfer to another school, be forewarned that coursework here does not easily transfer to other institutions. Caveat emptor
