The campus is nice and the town is PERFECT. There are few resources at this college. They emphasize how they are different from most colleges and how they offer a hands-on learning experience. I have not seen or experienced any hands-on learning experience thus far. It is literally just lecture-based and you move on with life. Also, they are an EXTREMELY democratic school that is quick to push every liberal view possible. They emphasize their initiative for "diversity and inclusivity," but they are only inclusive to everyone EXCEPT for republicans. Republicans do not feel welcomed here (I know a handful of "quiet" republicans who feel the exact same way). The classes I have taken have not felt academically challenging (my high school classes were harder). Food is very bad. There is no strong leadership at the school. The school cares a lot about sports and greek life but neglects all music groups and the arts. Religious views are alarming (They switch the context of the bible around).
Franklin College as a whole is a school that gives students amazing opportunities and return on investment after graduation. This is a private school of less than 2,000 students, so it does struggle in some aspects. But the most important part is, they are constantly working to improve the school! Last year there were many complaints regarding the food, so this year they upgraded and are getting a new company. They also just built a new science building in order to give the students the best education possible. Living in Franklin my whole life, I knew how extraordinary it was already. I just wish all of my peers had the same chance to get to know the campus like me! And becoming a journalism major might have been the best decision I've ever made in regards to college. The professors here are unmatched and stay completely dedicated to giving you the best education possible.
Attending Franklin College was the best decision I have ever made. It became my home, my biggest support system, my friends and family. The people there, the students and faculty, are amazing and are what I needed during my time there. The support they have given post-grad has been amazing. The classes set me up for success for my career and future academic endeavors.
