My online experience at SLC was pretty good, considering the quick adjustment to everything moving online. All of my professors were very understanding of the difficult adjustment, and offered time in class to discuss how we were feeling. I My course work was well suitable for the online environment, and I still felt like I got a lot out of my classes. Being online was not the same as being in person, and at times felt isolating, but the immense support systems that are in place for students at SLC really helped me!
Every semester at SLC was so different. Some were much better than others. Most of my college friends and I have some residual trauma left over from this place. Tough social and dating scene, a romanticization of mental illness, normalization of staying up until 6am to finish your conference papers because procrastinating and smoking cigs in front of the library with your friends felt cooler than managing your time well, it's predominantly wealthy and white. Food insecurity is a real thing for low-income folks here and the school has failed to address this issue adequately. A messed up culture, for sure.
What I will say though, is that the leap in my learning, self-awareness, and writing probably wouldn't have happened anywhere else. The donning system worked really well for me. I didn't go to a fancy prep school and was a little underprepared for SLC. The faculty held an enormous amount of patience and support for me while I came into critical consciousness during those four years.

The Open Curriculum has provided me with so many opportunities I wouldn’t have at a traditional college. I’ve been able to connect with faculty and professionals in the dance program, learn from award-winning professors, and even get my Bachelor's and Master’s in 5 years!
