I opted for this particular college because it was fairly close to home, was lower cost compared to others I was looking at and had the best program that I could find for undergrad elementary education. I was the top 15 graduating class of my high school so I had a couple of different options To choose from but this was the best all-around.

Course Curriculum

8

I think the course curriculum is pretty good and pretty thorough for what you need to know to go into my career.

Exams

I opted for this program because it was the best out of all the other colleges in my area, or at least the top 3. I took the SATS and received 1698 before they changed the score reporting a few years back. The program has smaller class sizes too which I prefer instead of lectures.

Placement

8

Very good they have a good career services team that always has employers on-campus recruiting for interviews and jobs and internships. Also, many job fairs that you can partake in as well.

Internship

You can get both nonwork study and work-study jobs. I had a work study job on campus in one of the offices. You need specific financial aid to get a work study job on campus. Each rate of pay is different depending on where you work

Events

5

Spirit week, homecoming, friends and family weekend, Boston marathon are some of the events.

Fees

It's about $9k a semester in state and a couple of grand more out of state. I'm sure there are scholarships plenty for both regular and international students, I paid for school out of pocket and got help from FAFSA as I was able. I had scholarships for my freshman year but not after that.

Examination Structure

The exam structure is either online, scantron or blue book depending on what your professor wants to do.

Faculty

8

The student-faculty ratio is around 1:24 which is pretty good sized. It's a smaller college so you reap the benefits from that.

Hostel

6

I stayed both on campus and commuted because I lived kinda close to campus. Must have a meal plan if on campus don't have to if commuting. Many different dorm options- no dogs or cats allowed as pets
