Senior: I absolutely love Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU)! As a full-time marketing major and sophomore, the online coursework perfectly fits my schedule, allowing me to manage my job alongside my studies. SNHU is undoubtedly one of the top online universities in the US. The courses are manageable, engaging, and up-to-date, offering practical application and real-world scenarios. The professors are knowledgeable and supportive, creating an enriching learning environment. The support services, including advisors and career counseling, are outstanding. SNHU also offers great networking opportunities, which have been beneficial for connecting with peers and professionals in the industry. If I could change one thing, it would be to give students the option to select the textbook curriculum used in their course. Overall, SNHU has surpassed my expectations, and I highly recommend it for its flexibility, top-tier education, and networking opportunities.... Read 4,217 reviews

Freshman: From the moment I first stepped on the college grounds, I felt welcomed and at home. I I knew I had picked the right College. As I walked around the campus with the tour guide, I truly could picture myself being a student here at Saint Anselm. What I loved most was the myriad of places where I could relax, study and socialize outside of my dorm. Also, it felt like I was in my home with all the awesome Christmas decorations! I can't imagine changing anything about this college except I wish it was closer to my hometown. However, if Saint Anselm was anywhere else, it would lose the authenticity of the Northeast....

Sophomore: I love my campus. I also loved most of my professors and I enjoy the extra curricular activities they have on campus. I find that the staff/faculty around campus are very helpful too and truly want to help you succeed. Something I wish would change, however, are the online classes. Some classes do have a lot of communication and the professors are willing to help. In some of my classes though, I have had some pretty terrible professors that are not really there to teach the class and you just have to teach yourself, which is great for some people but it is very hard for me. It’s also frustrating when the programs and textbooks we have to use are very confusing. I work full time and am a part time student, so online classes are only convenient for me if I’m actually able to learn something from them. I also wish there were more tutors on campus, specifically for my major, but I don’t blame the school for that. Everywhere is short staffed.... Read 481 reviews

Senior: All the staff and faculty members are experienced and willing to help. My professors have all been understanding, professional, and equally as invested in my success as I am. Clubs and fun activities are emphasized so students feel welcome, and it's something students don't have the opportunity to experience if they do only online classes. I would recommend this community college to any high school students, or anyone wanting to return to school, based on the experience and affordability alone.... Read 215 reviews

Freshman: I love the size of Nashua Community College! I like that there are small class sizes that allow individual attention be given to each student! The school is very supportive of all genders, races, ethnicities, and religions and seeks to be inclusive. That being said, I wish there were clubs for things other than GSA and gaming....
