The level of difficulty in the courses vary just like they would anywhere. Most of the professors give you a syllabus for the semester and expect you to stay on top of the deadlines. If you struggle in a class there is this place called the ARC where tutors who are majoring in the subject can help you out with homework, papers, etc.

    Sweet Briar College is a beautiful campus that holds together a tight knit community. The college provides many opportunities for students to succeed and receive training and experience outside the classroom. I love the professors and the classes; they are challenging me to reach newer heights without overloading me.

  • Dec-02-2012 I am researching this school and have not visited the campus

    From what I have heard about Sweet Briar it is an amazing school with some of the best teachers around. I am really excited to visit there over the summer and see what it is about. Their riding program seems to be very advanced for even the most basic beginners, which is nice because not many colleges have this opportunity.

    Sweet Briar College is nestled in the low mountains of Virginia, providing a picturesque campus filled with history, nature, and space to breathe. Here girls become empowered women who are educated and strong in their convictions. It is difficult not to love the time, people, sights, and memories this college holds in story for any girl who comes here.

    I love Sweet Briar because It has a great campus and it has many proffessors who want to help you. It has a great academic program and it also has a small classroom size; It has a 8:1 student teacher ratio. I love that many of the classes are small and you can have acess to the teachers and have them help you.
