Review of Ferrum College

from Chesapeake, VA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Ferrum college is a small campus with a nice surrounding area. The small classroom environment allows for close interaction and more individual time with professors/instructors. I would recommend attending this college to anyone who prefers small town areas, and closer relationships with professors.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

A few of the dorm buildings are quite old, and in need of maintenance; however, the newer buildings are more roomy, and more modern, with things like elevators and larger washrooms, kitchen areas, etc.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Be careful. It's easy to treat the caf like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Large fields for any type of games, mountains and woods for hiking, and lots of indoor activities such as comedy shows and concerts.

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

Ferrum has been considering tuition increases in order to further improve the campus. At the moment, the bang is in the process of catching up with the buck.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Many students spend weekends partying at a nearby sorority house known as Trollville.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Outdoors lovers. Those who like to fish. Hikers, runners, etc. Good area for outdoor exercise.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

More and more clubs are being founded each year.

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

Ferrum College literally has it's own police force. Since the college is nearby a small town, the police HQ is right around the corner from Ferrum and always on-call. Don't worry though, the police are rather lax when it comes to typical college troubles.
