At Sarah Lawrence, not only do you learn a lot but you question everything you thought you knew. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge since I began attending in such varied academic areas and I know I am gaining an extremely comprehensive education.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is beautiful and New York City is easily accessible. You can always escape to the bright lights, but can easily come back to the trees and suburbs of Bronxville. The professors are great and really work to develop personal relationships with you -- a process also assisted by the small class sizes. I LOVE it here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It really is the most expensive school in the United States so you're definitely paying, but the education is worth it. Also, need-based aid is fairly generous which allows many students to attend, like myself, who would not have been able to afford it otherwise.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you are prepared to read, write, and speak up in class. These skills are crucial to the kind of education you will receive here and if any of those aspects make you uncomfortable, this is not the place for you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Independent, focused, motivated students who may not know exactly what they want to study but have varied interests and are inspired by the arts. Also, students willing to work to achieve their goals and who aren't afraid to be individuals.
