REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI've only completed my first semester, but I've learned so much. I took a class called Environmental Geography. I knew that the world had it's problems, but this course really opened my eyes to the real problems of the world. I also took a course called Are cell phones destroying civilized society? This one was really interesting. You know how people are always on their cell phones nowadays. They carry it around like an appendage. Some people just can't live with out them. We discussed whether cell phones really were making people and society uncivilized. Should we get rid of cell phones? Are they ruining people lives? And are people really addicted to texting?

more then i can can handle. classes are actually interesting.
Christopher from Meriden, CT
Plymouth is a great school. Truly not what I expect from a state school being a transfer from a private university. I fell as thought I have learnt more at Plymouth then my other school, and I have grown more independent living on campus
melissa from Manchester, NH
I don't care what your major is, the general education classes are really well-rounded and try to appeal to individual students while giving a good education. I took a history class called Arthurian Legends and spent a semester learning about the kings Arthur could have been based on, the places the stories could have been in, and the real life history of what was going on at the time.
Most of the classes-- current events, science, math-- are grounded in real world applications, or real life experiences, which make them easier to learn.

Alaina from Claremont, NH
All of the classes are extremely interesting. I like the teachers, each one brings a different thing to the classroom. When I first started the semester, I was undeclared, so I've been taking General Education classes. Most people say they dread them, but the ones I'm currently taking not only are teaching me a lot but also very interesting.
