Bard College at Simon's Rock Reviews
However, there was very little in the way of career services, with the expectation that most students will attend graduate school. I observed that there were inadequate supports for students struggling with mental health/substance use, which was especially concerning given that the majority were legal minors. Most troublingly, the school did not respond appropriately to a classmate who stalked me, until the student ultimately attacked a faculty member.
The memories made here cannot be replicated, and words can't describe them. You'll find that friends made here will also become family, and I surely won't forget about them when my time here is done.
There's no doubt that there is room for improvement at Simon's Rock, however, as long as you're realistic, and for making the change you want to see, you'll realize that nowhere is going to be the perfect place, and that's OK. If there's one thing I'll take with me, it's that the students here will always find a way to make the change they dream to see.
