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

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 4,134 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: I really love Plymouth State University, it truly is a home away from home! I met many great people and new lifelong friends, especially my amazing roommate! I was initially very nervous about going to a new place, especially a college, but living on campus is a fantastic experience. One I'll truly never forget, there are many great activities to participate in such as the hammocking club. SOAR (outdoor activities), PSU gaming club, intermural sports, Esports, and so much more! Not to mention their fitness facilities are state of the art along with a robotics lab is getting put in! Plymouth State truly is a fantastic place, especially within the Criminal Justice and Forensic. The only thing that would be nice to change is the parking situation since Plymouth is remote, parking is very difficult at times. I feel there should be more parking areas, and Plymouth UPD should be more flexible at times.... Read 943 reviews

Graduate Student: This is the review I wish I saw! CSC is a good school. The academics are rigorous, and the professors truly care about the students. The business faculty are great and prepare students for the real world. I made great friends and had lots of fun during my time. I liked it enough I'm coming back for my MBA. The problem is funding only goes to the nursing program. The school also doesn't allow off campus housing but does have a few on-campus houses where students attempt to throw parties, but they are always quickly shut down by campus safety unless the houses come up with elaborate plans to hide the party from the outside which they do very well. The school also does not allocate funds to the club hockey and rugby team which is causing the programs to die out. Overall CSC is what you make of it and the people on campus are great but drama does go around fast! But dorms are lacking and don't expect a large party school because CSC isn't that. But you will find a way to have fun trust me!... Read 488 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....

Alum: My time at Thomas More College of Liberal Arts was genuinely one of the most important seasons of my life. The discussion-based classes, the intense intellectual life led by both the professors and the student body, and the awestruck and abiding interest in the mystery and problem of what it means to be human; all these things are part of what Thomas More College gives the student. Although some of the negative comments on this page think the college was ideological; my experience was the opposite. The classes encouraged me to think deeply about my own convictions and to change and restructure several of them. "The unexamined life is not worth living." How true. I could only have learned how worth living the examined life is at a place like Thomas More College of Liberal Arts.... Read 39 reviews

Alum: Magdalen College...how can I put into words the level of community, academics, and respect of human dignity that resides in such a school. Never before, and quite possibly never again outside of the family life, have I encountered such a profound and vigorous search of the good, the true, and the beautiful. Attending Magdalen College was a decision that I never once doubted, and will always be so glad that I made. The professors there are incredibly devoted to passing their knowledge and wisdom to the students. It has been said that education is not the memorization of facts, but is the widening of the mind, and this is a statement that has been not spoken but acted throughout the many years that this institution has opened her doors to young men and women seeking to answer the perennial questions of life. The college's motto is Duc In Altum, which is Latin for "Set out into the deep"- basically to take what you know, and set out into the uncharted. Wisdom is practicing knowledge.... Read 32 reviews
