You don't get a big city vibe here. The campus is very close-knit and welcoming. There is always something to do on the weekends like free movies at the Bohm theatre, canoeing on the river, Friday night comedians or musicians, walks in the nature center, or just hanging out with friends.

Actually living with students from different backgrounds made me learn lot about their cultures and how to interact with people. The first-year residence hall helped me make lot of new friends who were coming from various places and were also looking for new friends, which was perfect. Duuluu, Mongolia, Biochemistry, 2019
Communicate, join clubs, find people with similar interests and you'll make plenty of friends. American students want to get to know international students. Reaching out is the easiest, most helpful thing you can do. Erris, Kosovo, Mathematics, 2019
It's definitely a safe community to study in. The city of Albion isn't a major metropolitan city, so students can focus on their studies and activities. The crime rates are very low too, compared to big cities, so anywhere you go on campus it's a safe place. Duuluu, Mongolia, Biochemistry, 2019
