Located in the micropolitan Ohio city of Findlay, University of Findlay is a small Christian college with just 2,600 students but an impressive eighty-plus majors, including notable programs in equestrian studies and health professions. “Not many colleges can simultaneously create future doctors and professional horse trainers,†says a student. The school’s focus on experiential learning and an education grounded in Christian values incorporate “interactive labs,†“terrific study abroad programs,†and “lectures that invite you to speak your mind.†Class assignments “allow critical thinking outside of papers and tests,†and the school has three barns for pre-vet students to practice, as well as a school health clinic that “always has a few nursing or PT students shadowing the nurses.â€
The faculty here “have incredible experience in their field†and are “willing to help you inside and outside the classroom to grow to your full potential.†Many “go out of their way to help students get into graduate programs and full-time jobs.†“You can walk into their offices at any time with any problem,†and “the majority of them bond with their students to really improve their experience and ability to understand the information given to them.†The small classes tend to follow “more of a discussion base versus a lecture base,†which creates a “fun and exciting environment†that allows students to get their ideas out in the open “all the while actually learning.â€
