The teachers take a great investment in your education. I am able to meet with them whenever I need extra help. They make time for students and have set office hours. Where the teachers, not the TAs assist you. The small college feel fosters an environment where students strive to excel, yet are not highly competitive against each other. Most students about worry their own grades as opposed to others.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy the small town feel, because there is still a lot to do with the four other surrounding colleges. Especially with the large state university U Mass. I also feel that the people are generally friendly. You can find yourself having a long conversation in dining hall with someone you've only met once before.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is a bit expensive, but I feel that you get what you pay for. The education and experience you receive is tough to be matched. The school also offers great financial aid packages for those who need it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you do as much research as you can. Look at the types of classes and clubs the school offers and see if they interest you. I also suggest staying the night for a visit, that is what made me decide to stay.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that like small classes and thrive in a hands on environment. This school is also good for athlete because there are many resources available for them and many students on campus play a collegiate sport.
