Franklin College is a small community. There are always speakers and events to go to on this campus. The relationships between the teachers and students is one that is genuine and caring; you are never just a number at FC.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Being a college student, at any college, you will be expected to take on a typically heavy workload. The difference here is that professors are willing to sit with you one on one to determine how you can better your study habits or work on your time management. They are interested in making sure that you can be as successful as you have the ability to be.
There are also unique opportunities here for internships. Being an elementary education major, I have the opportunity to begin teaching in classrooms January of my sophomore year. So, by the time I graduate and enter the workforce, I will have had a little over two years of experience already under my belt. I know it'll definitely prepare me for my career.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living in dorms on campus. They are kept clean (thank you janitorial staff!) and are overall nice buildings. The rooms are decently sized and the best thing is that all dorms have their own A/C unit. All of the dorms have a common area where students can all hang out and have fun, which is great as well.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I have to preface this by saying that I am a very picky eater, so the dining options tend to get repetitive to me. However, there are many options for those much less picky than I am, including a homestyle food line, an oriental food line, a salad bar, a grille, and more. Personally, I just tend to stick to the same couple lines, but the food that I eat is good. The cafeteria workers are very nice and caring as well.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I like to tell people, I look like I'm 12 years old, but I have never felt unsafe walking around campus by myself at nighttime. Honestly, our security office does a great job. We have yellow poles around campus where you can call security if you feel unsafe and want an escort to your room, or even if you just need your car jumped. They are always willing to help however they can.
