The class sizes are small and the professors are intelligent and easy to work with. There are plenty of opportunities for study sessions with a student instructor, and the professors are available outside of class for additional help. Instructors also demonstrate good depth of knowledge and enjoyment of the subject.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The school is small but very friendly. For freshman, there are several days of orientation activities that make the transition into college much easier. The campus is beautiful, quiet, and seems very rural, but city activities are only about a half hour away. However, if you don't have a car the campus can be a little too small and unexciting after a while.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition is clearly higher than some, but keep in mind it is a private school and that Emory and Henry is GREAT about helping with financial aid and scholarships. There are small class sizes and several options for on-campus housing, including one new co-ed dorm that feels more like a classy hotel than a dorm. However, if tuition is going to continue to be high, I would prefer more updates in the older dorms - the school is a historical landmark but I'd prefer if there was some modernization in the dorms.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do absolutely everything you can to get scholarships. Loans seem like the easy solution to how you will pay for college, but once you are actually in school and the loans start adding up, you will wish you had more financial aid. Even though it is time-consuming, the best piece of advice is absolutely to apply for every scholarship that you can and CONTINUE to apply for them even when you are already accepted, enrolled, and/or attending college.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This college is perfect for those interested in the public - Emory and Henry greatly emphasizes helping those in need through volunteering and service learning projects (which incorporates volunteer work with learning). The college has great programs (extracurricular AND programs within a major) for students interested in public policy, outdoors, sports, athletic training, drama and theater, and business. It is a quieter school but very friendly, with all stereotypes represented in the school population - it's a place for everyone.
