Like any school, your learning experience is influenced by the professors, so as long as you research your professors, you can get what you want out of your classroom experience. The 5 College Consortium expands your options in terms of what classes or what kind of learning environment you want to experience. The downside to that is that it is a bit difficult to schedule your classes when they're on different campuses and take into account the sometimes-early-sometimes-late-but-always-free buses that get you from college to college and some to yourself to grab something to eat.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love this school. It did take a while to get used to the isolated feel of the campus, but it's easy to go on an adventure and get around to the other colleges and experience different kinds of environments. Having a great group of friends really helps you get through anything
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition is really high. There's no doubt about that. But here's what you're getting out of it: a beautiful campus, close relationships to faculty and staff, small class sizes, great dorms, an amazing selection of food (including kosher/halal/vegetarian options), a Hogwarts-esque library, the 5 College Consortium, the occasional foam pit/rock climbing wall/concert, a wonderful gym, and an endless supply of hot showers. Did I mention the beautiful campus?
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Bring or buy some weather-proof shoes! Snowy, icy winters seem to be sandwiched between periods of rain. The weather isn't usually too bad, but trust me, cold, wet feet can ruin anyone's day. Explore clubs and orgs! You might find your passion or your best friend.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for women who prefer a quiet environment to study, who are driven to expand their knowledge, who have an open mind, and who enjoy the environment that a small, liberal arts women's college can provide.
