It is a great college if all you want is technical experience. All the professors have career experience within your major. Do not expect an amazing campus life as the college is very small, a dry campus, and students are very introverted. There are lots of fun clubs and activities if you want extra curriculars.
Champlain College is great to me not only for its location but it’s & extremely inclusive environment, their focus is to get us right into our career field which is so necessary as a oppose to courses not directed to our needs.
Great location, excellent courses available, and very knowledgeable professors who are always there for you. Very committed to diversity and making campus a safe and enjoyable place for everyone. Plenty of things to do on campus and in the surrounding area.
School is all talk, there isn't anything to do on campus, the food is trash and unless your hobbies include video games and styrofoam sword fighting this isn't gonna be the place for you. If your looking to party it won't be here, never mind partying even people that just want to go out on a Friday are hard to come by, you'll have about 20 people out of your entire graduating class that actually want to go out and socialize.
Never left my room. Online learning here got me down so bad. There is absolutely no personal interaction w classmates or teachers.
My experience so far with Champlain College has been great, they are very helpful with all my classes.
Great experience for the price, good teachers and students. They are very helpful with all my classes.
Culture is incredibly lacking, and the professors slow down classes to accommodate the students being dragged along with the class.
Some professors are very well equipped to handle online classes, most of them have either given up on teaching or fail miserably at it
Champlain College offers the most beautiful campus in a college-centric town with amazing views of Lake Champlain. Walk to everything! They have literally the best gaming program where companies seek out Champlain students.
They offer an exceptional cybersecurity program and an amazing Professional Writing program. They offer an upside-down curriculum so you take classes in your major during the first semester so you will know if that major is right for you!

During COVID we switched to an online learning format. The classes went on smoothly without issues, many teachers even recorded the sessions - just in case someone had internet issues, which was also helpful for review.
Champlain College is very good at putting up a good front, but all of its promises are empty. I've gone here for almost four years and have endured traumatic situations involving the horrible mental health services - in fact, my close friend took his life my freshman year after I asked the school to help him and they didn't. YOU CANNOT RELY ON THIS SCHOOL TO CARE FOR YOU. Maybe for some, especially local folks, that isn't a dealbreaker. But I'm telling you, when you read stuff about the school that sounds too good to be true, that's because it isn't. Apparently Champ is deleting bad reviews so this is probably pointless, but I might as well try to warn you.
To be fair, I don't think any school is excelling here. To be less fair, my professor walked out of a hybrid class last semester because the online students weren't seeing or hearing anything that was going on. The prof still works here :)
Due to Covid-19 all my courses moved virtual in the spring and remained virtual. My professors were very attentive in returning emails and scheduling one on one Zoom calls for extra help. Since were are a smaller college I think it was an easier adjustment. I did have a few technical issues or wifi disconnections. Overall it was a beneficial experience.
I am giving Champlain a generous four star rating. Almost all the professor I had embraced their roles as educators and mentors. The non-student workers around campus were always helpful and kind. Overall I have enjoyed my college experience so far with only a few hiccups. There are issues with any university, unfortunately the higher leadership at Champlain has struggled these last few years. I am hopeful for the college to become more steadfast.
Professors very accommodating of student needs and are aware of boundaries that may prevent participation during remote learning.
Great Professional Writing program. Very flexible curriculum to meet your desires. Lots of activities to participate in and the community is generally very friendly and welcoming. Though there still needs to be improvement in the areas of diversity and inclusivity, Champlain is a school I would recommend to all that prefer a small-school setting.
Champlain's online learning experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic was smooth sailing for the most part and engaging. Teachers really understood students limitations and all of mine were more then willing to work with students around these limitations while still meeting the learning goals of the class.
Champlain College provides a holistic education by not only having students take courses in there major and minor but also having students participate in financial literacy and career building sessions/seminars. In addition, Champlain's CORE curriculum is engaging and allows students to take a real inter-disciplinary approach to important topics affecting both the western civilization and the global community.
Champlain College is so spectacular! The campus is great (warm, inviting, modern) and it is just close enough to downtown Burlington that you can walk there in 5 minutes but still feel like your comfortably out of the town when on campus or in your dorm. The Victorian mansion's modern dorms are great, and allow you to just relax and feel like you are living together in a house with your friends. My experience with my teachers has been that they're friendly and lenient and also act very professionally. There is so many classes to choose from, and because the curriculum is so customizable you can take major and minor classes right off the bat. I had many other collages I wanted to go to, but I underestimated Champlain. I am super pleased to go to school here.
