You 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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Personally, I had a tough time adjusting because I made the wrong decisions, but I guarantee that AC has something for you. There are many ways to get active on and off campus. For example, there are many nights when Charlie's (one cafeteria at AC) is packed with students waiting for the student- run concert to begin. AC also has many clubs and if you do not find one you like it is very easy to start your own. The campus is in a secluded area and transportation off campus is hard to come buy especially when they offer a bus serivce to the mall only on Friday. There are always taxis, but those are expensive. And finally for those late- night trips to where ever AC has serivce called Safe Ride.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I am not quite sure what exactly this question is asking, but I will try my best in answering. The tuition is expensive. Housing is guaranteed for all four years. The food is alright, but the employees at the cafe are eager to help. There are many clubs and activities. There are student tutors available for that Calculus exam, but beware you must come prepared. There are free services that would otherwise cost a fortune such as counseling and even career help. When I applied to AC, the percentage of students who had a job before they graduated was 97%. I am not sure what they are now, but at the Career Center they work hard with and for you. hmm... College really is all what you make of it. If you are not enjoying yourself at a certain college and you have tried everything to change that maybe that college is not the right fit for you after all. At AC, its your experience everyone there is eager to help. YOU have to make the moves. The faculty says something like that too. Another reason why I decided not to transfer.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are nervous about anything, please do us all a favor and remember to breathe. There is no problem that cannot be fixed and at AC everyone is willing to help, even students for that matter. The courses are challenging, but its college so that is to be expected. When and if you apply here... we'll fill you in. AC has a great community and you are bound to find the right freinds whether they are in your field of study, dorm, residential hall, or club you are bound to find the right fit here.
