As a Gateway student I feel Chatham has been a great experience for me. I enjoy the program I am in (Cultural Studies) and the faculty and students are wonderful and warm. Everyone seems to have an open door policy!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
This is an all girls school, so just make sure that's what you want. Also, I'm a Gateway student and applying was not stressful. Orientation was easy as well.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I find the academics can be intense but they are also manageable. I also find the teachers are very easy to approach and always seem willing to help out students.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I've only eaten at Cafe Rachel, but I do like the sandwiches!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a great athletic and fitness center on campus (it was even featured in the recent film Abduction!), and there are always events going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
That's tough. It's a private college, so it's a little expensive. I'm glad I chose this college but paying for it has been a struggle.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Chatham is an all girl school, which is wonderful for young women who feel boys and on-campus dating might be a distraction for them. There are plenty of schools nearby for socializing, but it does eliminate the in-class distraction. It's also great for older students, such as myself, because this school is full of smart and motivated young women. I have enjoyed interacting with them.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

This is a very safe school.
