Fantastic experience! Really a well-rounded, diverse background gained. My Mother also went to Albion and had a great experience; one of the reasons that I went. Biology-German Major with Chem Minor...I did summer programs with the college in Colorado (Mountain Wilderness & Geology) and over a winter break , in Florida(Florida Ecology). I became a licensed EMT while there. I really got to know the awesome faculty. I lived in a variety of dorms. The International House experience was exceptional. Albion really helped prepare me for my careers as a Zoologist with zoos, Military Officer (Medical Service Corps), and Educator (Middle School Science Teacher). Definitely no regrets!
My time at Albion College was the best four years of my life. Albion shaped me both personally and professionally. During my time at Albion I was able to be a four year varsity athlete, while also engaging in Greek life (something I never would have considered before Albion), several volunteer organizations, and student research. As with most college experiences, I made friendships that last a lifetime, but my continued relationships with several professors and mentors have truly made the Albion experience special. As someone who came with the goal of becoming a physician, and ended up falling in love with neuroscience research, Albion couldn't have provided a better investment in my future. Albion not only provided me with the skills necessary to succeed in graduate school, but it also put me in the position to earn a full fellowship for the duration I spent earning my doctorate. If you're considering Albion, visit campus! It was one of the best choices I ever made.
I loved my time at Albion College! What I appreciate now is the strong alumni network and support that I have post-graduation. While I was there, the professors were personable and accessible. These are some relationships that I've carried over into my adulthood as well. The dorms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Everything I needed was within walkable distance. Our meals in Baldwin were delicious, and I hear that they've gotten even better! I really appreciated the strong campus culture and environment that provided me with a safe transition to adulthood.
