The professors are simply WONDERFUL!!! They can meet with you one-on-one of you ever need help with something or simply just chat about anything. And even if they are not available, some classes offer Supplemental Instruction. There is a SI instructor who has taken and excelled in the class. He or she offers group help sessions at least once a week; if not, more. They also have office hours if you prefer one-on-one help. This program can help a student boost his or her grades by about two letter grades if he or she regularly attends.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are so many different organizations on campus, so there is a group for everyone. Everyone I met here so far has been very friendly. The way that the campus is set feels like home, considering that I come from a suburban area. The campus is not too big to where you will get lost in the crowd but not too small to where you will awkwardly be the center of attention. The campus also has a very diverse group of people, so finding friends is not difficult whatsoever.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
My main concern in this department is the price of books at the bookstore and its buyback policy. One pays so much for a book then receives little to nothing at the end of the semester. For instance, at the beginning of the school, a book was bought at $160 used. At the end of the semester, $60 of the money was given back. Many colleges have much fairer policies and try to give back at least half of the money. Also, housing is a bit overpriced, especially for the on-campus apartments. For the value of these, the quality is not there. Most of them need updates and/or repairs. Dorms are OK; in fact, most of them have been renovated within the past 5-10 years.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
*Be yourself. At Carroll, individuality is what matters. The school is very accepting of everyone; in fact, diversity is very much encouraged.
*Be involved. Like I said before, there are many orgs on campus; there is certainly one that fits you. If not, create your own org; it is very much encouraged.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
*suburban dwellers
*those who like small town living
*those who like small campuses
*those who like to be different and part of a diverse group
*those who hate walking forever just to get to one class
