Bard College at Simon's Rock
Alum: Simon's Rock gave me an opportunity to succeed where I had no other opportunities. The school's individualized approach meant that I was challenged academically to the fullest of my abilities while also feeling supported both academically and personally. Without Simon's Rock I wouldn't have gone to college, let alone the grad school I went to after.
I loved the small size of the classes and the campus is beautiful. It's a very everyone knows everyone campus, which has it's benefits... and downsides. I received a lot of financial aid, and was awarded additional scholarships from the school for my junior and senior years. Some of my friends transferred after receiving their associates degree, which was difficult socially. But many of my friends did stay and we are still a tightly knit group five years after graduating.
Early colleges may be popping up in lots of places in the US now, but there is something specific to Simon's Rock that keeps it a step above the rest of the pack.... Read 346 reviews
