Sarah Lawrence is the safest place to explore all aspects of yourself. The faculty and staff are more helpful and loving than you can imagine and the friends you'll make here are the truest ones you'll make anywhere. If that isn't enough, the beautiful campus itself will provide all the support and nurture you need to make it through the arduous winter and the late night conference paper cramming.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Give up any notion of what you think college should be like and you'll be surprised with how much Sarah Lawrence has to offer you and how much you can give back to it. The passion with which you'll learn to devote to yourself and your aspirations will be well worth all that it takes to get you here. For the admissions process, truly just concentrate on being yourself and throw caution to the wind in your essays and you'll know whether or not it's a fit.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Perhaps even more so than most places, Sarah Lawrence is what you make it. With no core curriculum, it is entirely up to you to construct your education and build your path. The teachers will work you, but even more, they'll teach you to work yourself.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Truly depends on where you live. The dorms range from incredible to lacklustre but even the far away land of Hill House has something to be desired. After your first year, you'll be able to have a bit more control over where you live.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always campus events, such as dances, open mic nights, folk concerts, etc. New York City is a hop, skip, and a 25-minute train away, so you'll never be stranded with nothing to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Worth every penny - and it's a lot of pennies, so be sure you MAKE it worth it.
