" Things have gotten better over the past few years, compared to where they have used to be. Parking spots are close to enough, but sometimes not quite there. Food is alright. Wi-Fi is not nearly as bad as it was just two years ago. Financial Aid department is pretty good. The crowd on campus is a little on the rowdier side generally. "

" Kendall does not have dorms or student parking. Nor does it have a food court or food options. Kendall is a great design school, just getting smaller and smaller by the day. Also it is so disconnected from Ferris that most students often forget that it is with ferris. "

" Ferris is a medium sized university that has a warm atmosphere. Most people are pretty nice, including almost all of the academic staff members. The recreational center and some of the other sport facilities are a little small, but for the size of the school they are adequate. "

" There are enough parking spots but many of them are super inconvenient and it’s a blood bath getting a permit for a reasonable lot. The wifi was horrible Fall 2019/Spring 2020, not sure what it was like Fall 2020 though. "

" I am currently a sophomore, Covid is going on and that brings with it difficulty for schooling, but I am very pleased with how my current professors are handling it. Last semester, spring of 2020, covid hit. The week of spring break we found out about the cancelation of in person classes. My professors did a good job keeping in communication with the students and keeping us informed as everyone worked through the difficult situation. I was still able to maintain a good GPA through that semester despite the virus. I currently live off campus, but for the time I spent on campus I was pleases with the facilities. The Quad and Rock cafes have good food, and my only complaint would be that after a couple years they get slightly repetitive with the food selection. Big rapids as a whole is a little redneck, but If you look past that it has a great number of things to do like parks, bike trails, tubing down the river. It also has a good amount of businesses, my favorite of which being Menards, they literally have everything you need to live. They have building supplies, groceries, Christmas decorations, you name it! "
