Ferrum College is a excellent college that allows their students to explore career opportunities in a real world environment. Ferrum has hands on classes with great professional teachers. Their academic levels exceed expectations and the classes are well taught by their teachers.The diversity in the school is noticeable with people from all over the globe.The activities they provide at this school are phenomenal and excellent for student life . Our school motto is “not self but others” and that is what this school teaches us.It teaches us that we as students need to serve others above ourselves and that doing something for someone else is a greater reward than doing something for ourselves.
I absolutely loved attending Ferrum College! It started as my second choice, but shortly after arriving and starting my courses i knew this would be the school i graduate from and call my Alma mater
