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.
I took all of my classes in-person until we had to move online again, the faculty did a great job making a smooth transition and my learning did not feel disrupted at all. The teachers were able to find videos and simulations that we could use with our learning to replicate in-person content. I also like how friendly the students and teachers are, and everyone is very accommodating during the pandemic.
As a freshman first attending Franklin College, it has met my expectations and then some. When I first went to Franklin for a football camp, I knew that day that's where I wanted to go. I did go to other colleges, to explore other options I had available to me but the atmosphere at Franklin wasn't like any other. It feels like I am surrounded by family, the student to professor ratio is perfect for me. I enjoy being on the football team, meeting others and just having the family atmosphere. Choosing Franklin was the best decision I made and I'm enjoying every moment of college life.
