I am an Augustana College graduate and have stayed connected to my alma mater over the last 20 years. It was, and remains, an incredible educational experience, for those lucky enough to decide to attend. I have been a college professor myself at a service academy and at a large public university, and I went to grad school at three different big universities, including one that is a “top 10” school, and I still feel Augie was the best of the lot. In four years at Augustana, I never talked to a TA or flunkee; always the actual Ph.D. teaching each class. I never sat in a lecture hall full of students. I was never unable to talk to any administrator or school official to help resolve any situation. To this day, I still get notes from classmates, from teammates (I ran track there; and could never have done that at a Div II or Div I school), and from former professors. My former English professor sent me an Augustana College application out of the blue when he found out I’d had my first child. Liberal arts colleges are not for everyone, but if you or your child is interested in a small school, you would do well to visit Augustana. It is a true gem, and changed my life forever. A magical place still.
