What Do Students Say?

Preparing You
"I know Cottey prepared me very well for the transition to a larger university. Cottey has given me the confidence that I can do well anywhere. I'm well prepared for the next step and my mom is happy that I learned to take hold of my future." — Charmaine Robledo, Class of 2002

Travel to Europe
"Traveling with Cottey to Paris was amazing. Everything we got to do was top notch. We ate dinner in a fancy restaurant and went to the ballet. Things like that you probably wouldn't do if you went on your own as a college student." — Jill Varnadore, Class of 2002

Suite Living
"In our suite we come from different places and have different experiences. We've gotten used to each other's quirks. I've loved the suite experience. I've become good friends with people I never would have made friends with at another school. It's a good experience for people to learn how to live with each other in a low-key, comfortable environment." — Sarah Hutjens, Class of 2003

Finding Yourself
"I saw Cottey as a safe environment where I could go to find out who I am without the pressures of a large university. It's a nice gradual step from high school." — Kelly Carroll, Class of 2003

Becoming a Leader
"Cottey has so many leadership opportunities. If you're looking for it, there are enough opportunities for nearly every student--it's absurd not to take advantage of them." — Courtney Jennings, Class of 2002
