Hey everyone, I've been accepted to Coe College in Cedar Rapids and I'm seriously considering attending. There's not much information online though. Can any current or past students shed light on what life is like at Coe? Things like academic rigor, student life, club and organization involvement, etc. would all be super helpful. Thanks!
Congratulations on your acceptance to Coe College!

In terms of student life, there's a good mix of activities. From NCAA Division III sports to theater, music, and an array of clubs and organizations, there's definitely a place for everyone's interests.
