The class settings are usually great with many small classes and no huge classes. The music program is big, but there isn't much of a visual art program. However, students with an interest in visual arts can take limited classes at ENC and easily take classes at nearby Quincy College for credit.
The professors are very attentive and many are extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and open-minded.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is a wonderful environment. It is right down the street from the beach (which allows dogs) and a 15 minute walk from the T subway station. There is a beautiful church on campus where we have mandatory chapel twice a week, a small student-made vegetable garden, a small and cozy chapel in our theology building Angell Hall, and a nice cafe as an alternate to the dining hall.
The food is pretty good, with a fairly big selection. There are always vegetarian options, a self-cook station, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and ice cream.
The faculty and staff are all very friendly and thoughtful. They really foster relationships with students that may be hard to accomplish in larger schools. Many live near campus, so students sometimes join them for home-cooked meals.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
There are strict rules for students because of the school's affiliation with the Church of the Nazarene. With the exclusion of one apartment-style building that is available for juniors and seniors, all dormitories are single-sex and members of the opposite sex are only allowed to visit during a few open house hours each week. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are not allowed. Freshmen have a curfew of 12:30 on weeknights and 1:00am on weekends for the first semester. Dancing is technically allowed, but it is a controversial issue in the Church of the Nazarene, so we don't have organized dances. These rules are manageable for many people, but prospective students should be aware of them before deciding on ENC.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Music majors, conservative Christians, students with an interest in missionary work or social justice
