This college is perfect for me, personally. It is definitely a good choice if you're looking for a smaller school and a very tight-knit community. Everybody on campus is genuinely nice, the classes are perfect sizes, the teachers really care about your success, and they have great opportunities for everyone on campus - there truly is something for everybody. Specifically for my major, social work, the university offers so many unique opportunities, like 4 internships over my 4 years, to make my education the best it could be. The only downfall is as a commuter, I do find it kind of hard to participate in clubs and organizations because the times just don't fit my schedule, but there is always the commuter council to be a part of! I definitely don't regret my decision to enroll here as I go into my sophomore year.
I have loved my time at Western New England University, from the professors to the campus, everything is just so welcoming. The campus itself is very beautiful, and during spring time especially so, as there are these gorgeous trees in the center of campus that bloom a lovely shade of pink, making the morning walk to class very lovely. The professors are all very helpful, with many staying late hours after class to offer their time to help students out with their work. All in all, its a great school and I love it!
Due to the corona virus pandemic, my school decided to transition to online classes for the rest of the semester after spring break, like most colleges did. I appreciated how the university gave both students and teachers an extra week of spring break to prepare for the changes. While this was certainly helpful, I do think it was hard for professors to teach us adequately. I feel as if I definitely didn't learn as much online as I would've if we were able to still be on campus. Only one of my five classes did Zoom lectures, and that was only once a week for a fraction of our lesson time. Another class of mine did recorded lectures, but still equaled only 20 minutes compared to the 2 hours and 40 minutes we would have gotten in class per week. Not to mention, we got to use our resources and our notes for our assignments and exams, which means we didn't have to retain anything. While this isn't directly the teachers' or university's faults, we weren't offered any tuition refund.
