I love Franklin College because they've given me the opportunities to be successful and excel in my career field. They helped me choose that career field by offering me an internship at a hospital where I realized that I want to pursue being a physician's assistant rather than a doctor. The community of Franklin is one big family, and I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. We're also in a unique spot being in a small town but only 30 minutes from Indianapolis. If I could go back and do it all again, I would choose Franklin every time!

I will be a freshman at Franklin College. The staff, coaches and professors have been really helpful with registration, getting classes, financial aid and learning about the school. Everyone is really friendly and I can wait to get started!
I'm a junior and I still absolutely adore this campus, the faculty, and the students. The best environment to learn and grow as a student is a place in which a campus acts like a community, and that's exactly what Franklin does. Professors work around the clock to see that students succeed in ever aspect of their lives, and that they will have success beyond graduation. Our small community makes for big opportunity to try new things and discover what it is that YOU love.
