Q wi 6 Besides athletics, raids, food runs, and vlsltlng with frlends, there is another aspect of college lite which many students overlook: academics. Of course, Friends is not an Ivy League school but Friends has many qualities that an lvy League school does not have. One quality ls the interaction between the students and faculty. Faculty call students by name and love to shoot the breeze with students on a wide variety of subjects. Just try to talk about the Jay- hawks to a Harvard professor! If a student has a problem, the professors door is always open and a listening ear ls always available to troubled stu- dents. This does not mean the classes are easy, but it means.that professors care for the students and want them to be challenged and motivated. Another quality of Friends is the liberal arts background of the college. Students do not always feel this ls a benefit when they are struggling through a calculus, biology, or art appreciation class. But this wild variety of learning will broaden the student's mind and make him a better rounded person in the technologically focused world. Academics is the backbone of the college experience and Friends University uses academics to produce well adjusted graduates ready to tackle the challenges of the real world. academics
