There are so many wonderful things about RMC, the small school feel, friendly students, many different clubs and activities on campus, and access to professors and research opportunities. Ashland is a safe town and you can walk for food or just to check out the holiday decorations or small shops nearby. I gave four stars instead of five for two reason. One that is consistently mentioned here is the food. I hope that when the contract is up with the current company, the college changes many things about dining. There is a lack of lower priced options in dining plans for on campus students, some have cars and prefer to only eat on campus about half the time. Second, there were times last year I felt overwhelmed by work. I was working sometimes almost constantly, there was no work-life balance. I think/hope the message was received by admin and because I think this year is a lot better. Overall, a great school, great financial aid, you’ll be glad if you decide to come here!
The community is very welcoming and the professors are willing to work with students one on one. The academics are challenging and the sports teams are fun to watch due to the competitiveness of the ODAC and skill of the teams. I really love it and would recommend everyone to look into it. I never thought I would want a small school, but it was the best experience!
The campus is beautiful and relaxing. The train isn't as much of an issue at people might think. Professors care about their student's success and want them to get good education. The small class size helps students develop close relationships with their professors that last throughout your years there. There are multiple resources for students to get help mentally and academically. Many clubs and organizations for students to get involved. Not much partying outside of the fraternities since the campus is small, so the noise level is low. The dorms are older, so I would like to see some modernization. I would like to see more dining options or student discounts around campus, as the dining hall gets repetitive.
