My experience at Nichols College has been amazing. From the community to the classroom I have always felt welcomed. Nichols has done an amazing job of filling classrooms with professors and advisors who have had years of professional experience in their subjects. Each member of the Nichols staff from athletics and education to the financial office, all have wonderful connections with other business' and people that will almost certainty help a student down the line. I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend Nichols College!
My experience at Nichols College has been memorable and extremely rewarding. Nichols focuses on small classroom sizes and experiential learning opportunities for the students that no other college can offer. Hands down most beautiful campus in New England and is always very clean and safe. When you come to Nichols you will instantly feel at home, becoming part of a family that is dedicated to growing students into respected professionals in the Business industry. I never once regretted my decision to come to Nichols!
Coming to Nichols College was the best decision I could have made. I am able to pursue my athletic, academic, and social goals here. Due to Nichols College's 4 + 1 degree, I am able to obtain my Dual Master's Degree is only one year! Thanks to Nichols, I know that once I graduate, I will leave Nichols with a strong, competitive job with all the knowledge to succeed. The small, community/family aspect that Nichols offers allows you to make life long friendships and the ability to connect with your professor 1 on 1. You are not a number here, you are a name. It is impossible to walk through campus without saying hi to everyone you pass. Nichols really does set you up for success, and with the new president, bigger and better things are on their way. Along with academics, athletes are treated like D1. We have amazing facilities, athletic training, and a tremendous amount of support. Games are packed to watch the Bison win! We have a beautiful campus to live on for your next 4 year here!
