Excellent University- you get what you pay for. Smaller classes allow for more one on one availability to your professors. If you find you are having difficulty in a class or just need more clarification help is easily available directly from your professor. Just by simply making an appointment to visit them during their office hours all my professors over my 4 years at Drake were welcoming and helpful to whatever it was that I needed. Faculty and staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable everyone wants you to succeed and they even remember your name! They care about you at Drake. You will not be another face in the crowd, your experience will be worth it. A degree from Drake speaks volumes. BFA 1999
