Sophomore: I transferred to KSC from another NH public college and have enjoyed Keene so much more. The people are so friendly, it's easy to get involved on campus, everyone is extremely welcoming and the community here is incredible. Campus is gorgeous especially in the spring and they just announced a ton of new renovations coming for next fall. The dorms are pretty average but some are really nice (Butler, LLC). I've enjoyed all the classes I've taken and met some great profs. The only bad thing I think is the food but there are options at Lloyd's and the Hoot and Scoot that are better and overall a good variety if you don't like the dining commons food. Come to Keene, you won't regret it!... Read 915 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....

Sophomore: 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 4,127 reviews

Senior: The professors are doing their best, but the school needs more funding; at least, the dental hygiene program does. The community college system in New Hampshire seems to be somewhat low quality. My expectations of college courses are not fully met due to disorganized methods. I have only been in college during the pandemic times, and there was a lot of disruption caused by the implication of remote learning. I recognize my instructors are human beings doing all they can, yet I feel the standards of education are not what I expected.... Read 478 reviews

Alum: The best part about studying at Lakes Region Community College was the willingness of the professors to help you. They were available for help with coursework, would provide a listening ear for non-course issues, encouraged their students, and knew exactly which administrator to contact for specific issues....

Sophomore: The adminissions department made the process so easy for me. They actually reached out on my behalf to a community college I attended that I couldn't even get ahold of to transfer any credits. Because of my military background, they also informed me I was sitting on credits I had no idea I even had! My advisor calls me every other week to see how I am doing. If you're not the best with technology, I could see why it could be frustrating pursuing a degree online. Their interface has improved a lot in the last year, also. All my instructors so far have been accessible, sometimes things get lost in translation with teachers via e-mail, but that seems typical of any work/school situation. The college has a pretty reasonable tuition fee.... Read 29 reviews
