Nichols College does a great job at attracting students to join the "community". Things greatly change once you actually become a student and see what life is like on campus. One of the best ways to judge a school is to look at the parking lots on the weekends. Nichols loses about 70% of resident students on the weekends. Resident Life is a horrible and has become extremely strict on enforcing rules and regulations. The professors are friendly but outdated and the curriculum is behind many of the other great business schools. Nichols tells you alumni are connected and love giving back, however, the institution is over 200 years old and has less than 16,000 alumni. Most alumni have stayed local and do not have major success. If you are looking for an education that will prepare you to work for a large company you should choose another institution.
Nichols College has made me into a young, strong independent Latina. I have stood to on campus because of the multiple ways Nichols has allowed me to be involved on campus. I am a member of the Nichols Women's Basketball team and I will also be involved on the Track and Field team. I also enjoy the academic part of this excellent experience here at Nichols because of the small class sizes and professors that are willing to get to know you on a personal level.
Nichols College is a great business college. Professors are required to have office hours to help students, and are helpful and eager to help students any time they can. The school prepares you my having a Professional Development Seminar class to master resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, and budgeting. The classes at Nichols have a lot of presentations and group projects. It is ridiculous to have to take two humanities courses and a social science course that are irrelevant to business and students majors. The food on campus is a hit or miss. The housing (dorm) situation is horrible. Some dorms are aweful and shouldn't be lived in. The social programming board and various clubs try to put on weekly events.
