This is Human Ecology. A major where you have extreme academic freedom to choose your classes. I was looking for a school with many majors that seemed to suit me that way I could change my major without having to change schools. Here you have one major an can change and grow with your studies and shift emphasis without totally putting yourself years back with required classes.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You take 3 courses a trimester because each class is very demanding. And you better show up to every class, because classes are small, and people know when you are skipping.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Every Freshman lives on dorm. Which really are houses with kitchens, normal bathrooms, and lovely Nooks and Crannies. I am in Sea Fox which is one of the best dorms; we have a piano, I have a huge room I share with 2 roommates, and we can go mattress surfing down the staircase.
And we just build a new series of buildings for 2nd and 3rd years which are pretty nice.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This is the place to be a vegan if you're into that. Just saying it is sooo easy. the food is organic, with vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options. I consider myself a carnivore, and the food here is great even for meat loves like me. We just had a BBQ here with pulled pork and it was delicious.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Town is just a walk away. The town is a tourist town full of fun shops and interesting people. Don't be scared away, when at school it doesn't FEEL like a big tourist town. Even in the town square its calm and quiet, the town is beautiful and there is a free bus system that can take you all around the island. You are living on an island by the way. With nature trails, bike roads and mountains to climb.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Bar Island swim. Do it!
You swim 500 meters in the freezing Atlantic water. It took me about 30 minutes, but I did it!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
We have it all here. The amount of international students really makes this place very cultural, there are some people who lie on the more hippie side of the scale, but there are also many, many people here who have a strong passion for change in the world. Whether that is through environmental or humanitarian means.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Hooray No Greek Life!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I feel very safe here. We have two night guards who actually feel like they could defend me. Not some chubby cop who couldn't chase a dog. And both are very nice and friendly.
