Most Helpful Review for Vassar College

Unlike many schools out there, Vassar professors are not only intelligent, good teachers, they also take the time to attend to their students. The in class lectures were always interesting, if not always easy to understand. However, I can always approach them outside of class to learn more. I never felt like I was missing out on the full learning experience of class because the professors WANT you to learn all you can.

    Vassar is an amazing place with accepting people and a beautiful campus. If you want to go to a college where you can study what you want without having so many general education requirements this is certainly the place for you. This is the place to go to develop yourself as a person.

    Vassar is acceptably odd and awesome year round. This school is not perfect and neither is any other school. It has its perks and also it has its disadvantages.

    Vassar is great school on a beautiful campus in the middle of a somewhat desolate city. The school itself is welcoming, challenging and full opportunities. The student body is diverse.

    Vassar is the kind of place you would want to go to if you like having intellectual conversations about anything. Vassar is diverse in culture. Very intellectually driven but we have fun side as well.

    After viewing this campus in person, I knew this was the right place for me. Not only was everybody really opening, there was a vibe that the teachers and students really were able to develop relationships among themselves and mold their studies. I know here that the amount of possibilities for me to explore are there, and someone will be there to guide me along the way.

    the people here are amazing. the classes are small, the professors she interest in their students, and the education given here is beyond satisfactory. from the moment i stepped on campus i felt at home.

    if you want classes with intelligent, experienced, and celebrated professors who don't flaunt their talents, come to vassar. the school has a wide range of specialties, from political science to theater, and has a quickly growing science department. the student body is extremely diverse and open to all types of people, and is extremely eccentric.

    Vassar College is school where anyone can go to be themselves without feeling self-conscious. It's a fascinating place with all kinds of interesting mixes of different styles and points of view, including the different architecture and the diverse student body. Especially a great place for arts students.

    Great school for the humanities. Life outside the classroom is important. If you want it, you can make it happen.
