Read What Students Are SayingAll of the teachers I have had so far are very knowledgeable and helpful
Thomas from Buffalo, NY
The professors are really knowledgeable and approachable, for the most part, and the small class sizes make it much easier for professors to answer individual questions.
Justine from Marathon, WI
The small school atmosphere at Daemen College provides a welcoming feeling, and makes the transition from high school much less intimidating. The staff and students alike are beyond helpful and always glad to offer their assistance and time. My experience at Daemen thus far has only made me ecstatic about my future there, and all the opportunities I will have to learn and grow.
Stefanie from Cassadaga, NY
It's a small and intimate campus that offers as much or more than a larger university. I like the fact that the faculty actually knows who you are and takes an interest in how you're doing. I feel very comfortable here.
