Antioch College is a small liberal arts school that is trying to get itself back up and running. Its Sexual Offensive Prevention Policy has become known in universities nationwide. There is a lot of focus on current, real world problems such as social justice, sustainability, etc.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come with an open mind. Antioch is not like other colleges you may experience.
I did not visit the campus before attending, but I would recommend that you do to get a feel for campus and the town.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics may be incredibly rigorous depending on the track you take. My classes have been challenging in all the right ways.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Comfortable. Cozy. It's very easy to know everyone around here. There are always conversations and almost always games and activities going on throughout the day (especially weekends). The dorms can get very musical at times!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are discussions and presentations available to attend on a lot of dates. Yellow Springs is a very cool town with cute shops and coffee stops. There's also a small theatre.
If you want to grab fast food/see a more popular film you would have to face about a 20 minute drive to a neighboring area, but a lot of people go out and it would not be hard to find a ride.
There's a nature preserve basically across the street to hike on.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students looking for a small school and town. If the thought of attending a more conventional school makes you gag you'll probably like it here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many clubs and starting one yourself is very easy.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have not run into any safety problems. Security/help can always be reached.
