The school is a small school and that was what I was looking for when I did my college search last year. Teachers know who you are because your class size (which is usually about 20 kids per class). For me this helped because in big schools it is hard to get help if needed. There is great opportunity to get help from ARC which is a great free resource for students who need help.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
As far outside of classes the campus is great. It is a small campus so you really get an opportunity to meet pretty much anyone. It is fairly a new college to most, but it is rising to become known. It is kind of in the middle of no where but when your on campus you can get to any big city within 45mins usually. What convinced me about the schools was spending one night there and I knew the campus was perfect because of the atmosphere of your peers.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When you first arrive on campus leave your door open, the first couple days are really important try to meet everyone you can, and if you leave your door open people will stop in. Also don't stay in your room all day!!! Get out and around campus. Shamie (which is the freshman dorm) has a great quad like area where people hang out outside all the time when the weather is nice: they play catch, play soccer, WIFFLE BALL (people love to play wiffle ball), some just lay out. Also try to get into as much as you can the first year then decide what you want to stay with for the rest of your time at Nichols.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS!!!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Really anyone fits in for the most part! But the school is great for ATHLETES because the majority of the population plays sports or just LOVE sports in general.
