MY experience has been quite good. I deeply appreciate my professors, though I do feel that some of them are a bit outdated with their information and teaching style. The others, however, are passionate and engaging which I love!
Due to the pandemic and remote learning, it is more challenging to feel confident that I am getting the information I need to excel in my field. However, I feel good about how I am set up to attend Graduate school, and get the needed tools and experience. Overall, I would recommend Elms to anyone looking for a standard education, connection opportunities, and a decent tuition.

Since i've started going to Elms since 2019, ive enjoyed it. Initially, i thought the campus was bigger, but it's pretty small. That isn't a problem though because its so much easier to find the classes! The Elms college community is all good vibes. The only downside is some students, not all, aren't that nice. Ive had and experience myself that made me pull away from Elms a little. But besides that, everything is good.
I am part of an accelerated program that meets for eight hours per week, all in one day. The Professors are very good and the classes are thorough, despite being so condensed. I would like to have more in-person access to my professors, such as office hours during the week. Sometimes, there is limited access to professors even through email. I would like to see that change. I would also like to see some sort of merit program that offers financial benefits to outstanding students. Elms offers this to students who enter main campus programs, but not to students like me who enroll in the accelerated program. Their logic is that the cost of the program is less than a main campus program, however, a student who earns high grades and performs well should be offered incentives and rewards, regardless of their program cost. Elms is a Phi Theta Kappa partner school, but does not honor the partnership, which allows a discount on tuition, for the weekend accelerated program.
