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!

I love the diversity in albion college, it is a small environment but it’s really comfortable to be in. You can know one another since it isn’t a huge campus. Overall I love it, I also love the winter/snow so nothing is comparable. I’m just bummed out because they don’t have every major but you can work something out, it’s not like the end of the world. Anyways the classes are great! The professors always make time for students.

I honestly expected something a lot better from Albion but no, not that great. I believe the professors are pretty good, but the administration needs to be worked on, because they don't know how to handle anything for real.. also the area is a pretty big issue. If you are a social kind of person, don't have a car on campus, love to be in an area that has a lot to offer you do not belong in Albion. Albion is in the middle of nowhere and has no diverse food options available. The town doesn't have a bar and you can't really party on campus cuz of campo, they literally breathe down your back. If you aren't in Greek life you're screwed but even in Greek life social life isn't good. We drive 27 minutes in order to even have a good grocery option because Family Fare price gouges & is the only grocery store in Albion. Also the food/dorms are freaking terrible and do not match the amount that gets paid. YOU'LL REGRET GOING TO ALBION IF ANY OF THESE ARE EVEN A LITTLE IMPORTANT TO YOU!
