Friends University — Attraction in Wichita

I wish I would have gone somewhere else. It's an overly-priced high school. I was a music education major and attended for four semesters (two years). Tuition is cheaper than most private universities, but the education does not live up to the price. Teachers are too involved with your private life (at least in the fine arts department). The school has no money which is one of the reasons they hired the new president of the school. They increase tuition by about $500-600 every year. Keep in mind that this is a private Christian school, so you will have to take extra religion classes in addition to your general and degree-related classes. Many teachers were fired during my short time attending Friends because the school didn't have the money to pay them. Don't go here just because it looks nice or is a Christian school. Unless you are a Spanish or Zoo Science major, you will receive a far better education choosing a different university. The debt is...

Not worth the ridiculous cost of debt that will follow you till your grave. Get a job trade, make decent money, and live your dreams to the fullest. Unless your career absolutely requires a degree or you feel the need to go into higher academia don't play the college debt game. Speaking from several that have attended this college and who are still paying for education that did nothing in the workforce!

Several I know found nothing with their degree and are doing well without it. Fail to complete your degree? Don't worry Friends will send the nastiest creditors till the end of time after you to remind you of your eternal debt.

I rank college loan officers worse than payday...

I am an alumni of Friends and what the previous poster stated was accurate. Even though I relished my time here, looking back, the degree was not worth the money. There are other places in Wichita to get a degree and not be in a mountain of debt. I assure you that the quality is also about the same. I wish more young people realized that they will eventually have to pay it back unless they were lucky enough to get scholarships or...
