The staff/faculty here are wonderful people! They are all incredibly personable and willing to help at any time. There is a club, sport, or extracurricular for just about everyone and the people here are very inclusive. It is a great place to look at if you want to be in a small, tight-knit community. The dorm rooms are comfortable and the residence life department does a great job at providing entertainment throughout the semester!
I absolutely adore Blackburn College. I started here because it is a small, private, liberal-arts college. And added bonus is the uniqueness of it... it is one of seven work colleges in the country, and we are the only student managed one! I feel such pride and feel so proud to be here. I am a first-year student, and can already say I am a resident assistant and the future president of Student Senate for the 2019-20 school year, and much more. The professors are wonderful, the academics are good because they are challenging, and so much more. I am so proud to be a Blackburn student.
Blackburn College has brought me some of my best friends that I have ever had in life. Being a small college, you may not think there is much there but the work program is rewarding by letting you climb the ranks and figure out who you are as a Blackburn student.
