REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingYou might think that all you could learn at a Liberal Arts College is art appreciation and how to analyze someone. Assumption College does offer that and much more. At first, I did not want to go here, my mother encouraged me to, but then I got to the classes. They are well rounded, the professors are personable outside the classroom, very knowledgable, make themselves available and definetly in the top of their field. There are required classes every student has to take, but these are not that hard to fill in and they do not interfere with the classes you need to take to complete your major. Finally, I must mention that the reason why I am staying at AC is because of the fine academics. You cannot get the same education any where else.
Giovanna from Billerica, MA
Assumption is a well known respected institution. Classes are hard, but worth trying. A close knit environment woth people willing to help.
Julianna from Worcester, MA
I am very happy with Assumption College. It is a friendly environment where I am viewed as an individual. I am extremely impressed with my professors and am learning a great deal!
Anne from New Ipswich, NH
Assumption College is located in a nice area. The professors are excellent, and really work on spending time with you. The campus is small, so the student body really gets to know one another during 4 years.
I transfered into Assumption College at the start of my sophomore year. The welcoming enviornment has provided more opportunities than I could imagine. My professors have been helpful and inspiring in pushing me to succeed.
Kathryn from Worcester, MA
Too religious despite their downplayed advertisements. Great professors who want to help you. Besides the religion aspect the school is really nice.
Gabriella from Otisfield, ME
Assumption College provides students with the tools and skills for an independent and bright future. Classes are challenging but not intimidating because professors are always accessible to help. Assumption College is a small but comfortable community striving to make students reach their full potential.
Jonathan from Holden, MA
Assumption College is a small community filled with an exquisite faculty and hard-working students who are striving to prepare themselves for the future. The college is full of many activities that students enjoy taking part in which brings the college together. Assumption College is a terrific school because it is a place that every student could call their home.
Marisa from West Haven, CT
We are required to take classes in a variety of subjects so there are great opportunities to learn about things that you might not have considered before. My professors have done a great job with making sure that the students understand the material. Professors often have convenient office hours if you need extra help.
