Review of Earlham College

from Richmond, IN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Amazing and wonderful school with a great pride in community and friendship. Very academically rigorous and quite rewarding. A large variety of classes and majors are available with very helpful professors to guide you throughout your time here

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prepare to study and work hard here but also expect to have fun and create friendships that last. The community here is quite amazing and it's truly a blessing to be apart of it. Also, you may want to make sure you have funds to stock up on groceries and snack foods for those late-night study parties, although Dominos is always an option.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

This college is very rigorous and many classes assign large amounts of homework. If you haven't already, learn good time management and do your homework, or try to, the day/night it is assigned. This will make your time at Earlham a lot more enjoyable and much less stressful.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are wonderful and well-maintained. People as a whole are pretty respectful of their neighbors and are quick to change something if it is bothering you. Often during the course of a month there will be events and study groups where food is offered or where you can make food and hang out with your floormates or simply just have fun. Earlham has a wonderful community and the dorms express that in a much smaller and more intimate way.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall, fondly known as SAGA to Earlhamites, always has many choices for food, including a large selection of vegetarian options. There is always pizza and salad options, and the main line usually has very popular options available.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Earlham is EXTREMELY expensive and scholarships are the only reason that I, personally, was able to come here. It is an amazing and wonderful school but i hesitate to say that it's worth the same amount as Harvard.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We do not have sororities or fraternities, just group houses for people of like minds ie knit house, Spanish house, Japan House, etc.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Completely safe and well looked after. The campus security drive rounds throughout the day and can be reached by phone in case of emergency.
