Campus Visit Notes for Coe College

Visit Description:

I thought the tour was one of the most well thought out that we had been on. We were very impressed with the school and think it would be a great fit for the right person.
Our D feels it could be a bit too small for her but she really liked a lot of things about it so it is stayingon her list.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

We stayed in the Amana colonies which were only a half hour away. It's a bit more touristy than we were expecting.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

We ate at the Colony Inn in Amana. It was good for family style german food.
