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

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 4,129 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

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....

Junior: What I love is the flexibility of my assignments. I know when homework is due and if I need more time my professors have given me the time I needed. When I started going to school in 2020 at the age of 44, I thought there is no way I can do online learning. I LOVE it! Yes, some classes would have been better in-person but heck the Pandemic took that away as well. lol, Granite State College has made everything easy the environment has been wonderful. I would do it all over again if I had too.... Read 160 reviews

Sophomore: Empire Beauty School in Hooksett NH was one a great experience. The Night Program (of 16 hours a week) was the perfect pace and time for those who are slower learners, visual learners and for those who may work during the day or have a family at home. The Night Time Instructors were incredible and you can really tell that they love teaching and that they love doing what they do. They take their time during instruction and make sure that what they are teaching is shown to everyone, no matter the learning style of the students. The experience was great and you can really learn a lot from these instructors and gain their knowledge of the beaut industry and really make a career for yourself from attending Empire Beauty School....
