Elmira College Reviews
Rating 3.36 out of 5 586 reviews
Elmira College is very old and rustic with beautiful buildings that take you back to the 1800s. Elmira college honors Mark Twians, a famous author born in Elmira, legacy. The college staff is very welcoming and the campus is small and cozy. The college holds a large variety of food options for all diet options in their large dinning hall and is they take their sports very seriously and offer a great cheerleading team. Elmira makes you feel like you are at home and everyone there is your family.
Elmira College was overall fine. The school is very small, so there is lots of drama, which makes it feel kind of like high school. I went for English Literature and Theatre. Both departments were incredibly small and underfunded. The school tries very hard to be a sports school and so that's where they throw most of their money. Ironically, aside from the women's hockey team, their sports teams aren't very good.
Elmira is one of those schools that's what you make of it. The area is small with nothing to do, so I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a party school or one in a good area. Still, if you drive out to Ithaca or go to NYC every weekend or so, I imagine you'll have a good time.

Elmira college is a beautiful school, with a beautiful campus, and has wonderful people. The women’s ice hockey team here is one of the best D3 programs in the country and our athletics are supported fully by the college. The food served by parkhurst dining is what you would expect from a college dining hall, not always very tasty but has been improving over my time here. The areas around is not very safe and does not provide many option for nightlife. However, the best part of Elmira is the people you meet. The people within the school are the reason that it is so so special to me. The staff, the students, the coaches, and the people around the college make the experience so much greater.
