Prescott College is for self-directed students. If you are passionate about social justice, the environment, or a broad education in liberal arts and other studies, this school is for you. It provides an abundance of opportunities for students to study as they please and even create their own major.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come here with ideas in mind, but stay with an open mind. There are so many things offered that might not have been what you expected but can truly blow your mind if you allow it. Play an active role in your education and find and advisor you really like! Attend speaker series and events, these people are inspiring!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It all depends how much work you want to put in and the level of difficult classes you want to take. It is up to you. It is not the same kind of work as a traditional school, you may focus more on your thoughts, feelings, and personal growth, than on assigned readings, but you still have deadlines, presentations, and papers.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
People here are wonderfully friendly, welcoming, and a lot of fun! If you have the choice to live off campus, I'd take it because being a part of the greater community is worth it. The dorms offer a good way to interact with new students but you don't get as familiarized with the rest of the students. The dorms are super luxurious! Decked with a nice kitchen, living space, and study, I feel blessed to be a part of the first year of dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafe is cute. It isn't the cheapest food, but you can always get something for a good deal. The food is yummy, and mostly convenient if you don't order something that needs to be cooked from scratch.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Potlucks! A lot of them. House shows! Outdoor activities! School of rocks :), you'll find out when you get there.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Its a good price! Compared to most liberal arts schools. And if you take any outdoor ed classes you are provided with crazy opportunities few people in their life have the chance to take.
