What Students Are Saying

Classes that you expect to be hard are hard, and vice versa.
Gabriela from Middletown, CT
the professors want you to put effprt and apply yourself into your academics, they will not just hand you your degree, you have to earn it. the workload can be demanding at times, never procrastinate, the professors generally give you a respectable amount of time to complete essays and projects.
Professors excel at their subjects
Shannon from Manchester, CT
It depends on what classes you take. Some class, such as your First Year Experience (a class all new students must take, on various categories, that prepare students for their college classes) are meant to be easier, but I have taken my fair share of classes that really make me work!
Kaitlyn from Shelton, CT
Academics at Eastern are taken seriously. Though some may say it is easy, depending on if you want to complete your degree in four years, you have to work hard and do all your work.
While there are easy professors like all colleges, Eastern does have challaging classes to take. You have to put in time to get good grades.
Brianna from Putnam, CT
At Eastern, you are responsible for your education. Professors here could teach at any university they desire, and you can go into a class willing to contribute and excel, and you will do great, but if you don't try, your grades will reflect it. Eastern won't 'give you grades' to keep you in the system.
