I honestly really loved the experience that I got at Stephen's college. The staff is super friendly and helpful! They will answer any questions that you have. The college offers an exuberant amount of resources to students, such as free tutoring, one on one teacher time, and easier courses on difficult subjects. If you are considering colleges I would definitely make Stephens one of your choices!
So far I love this place! I am a transfer sophomore studying elementary education and I am so happy with my choice to go here. The professors are extremely knowledgable and are mostly hold PhDs in their field. The courses can be challenging, but no so much in a way that makes you want to give up. Since it is a super progressive and liberal school, you never have to fear being your most authentic self here! Everyone, students and staff alike, is here to help you be the best version of yourself, academically and authentically. Plus, having pets on campus always helps too :)
Stephens College's appeal is entirely dependent on the pet friendly campus, the college town environment, your program, your professors, and the people you surround yourself with. The unfortunate reality of Stephens' adminstration is that income is the priority, not academic excellence or student wellbeing. The president likes to pride herself on being approachable to students, however, she remains a politician whose primary goal is to secure and maintain funding. Student wellbeing is (barely) second to that. The "private" education Stephens offers blends seamlessly with the beaurocracy of large universities: everything is still about money. Stephens has been in and out of the red for years. The college has also now split into two different colleges in order to allow men to get degrees from the theatre conservatory, which they had not been able to do, a move purely made to increase residential enrollment (where they get their money). Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere.
