Most Helpful Review for Whittier College

  • Review by: Ashley from CA
  • 7 out of 8 people found this review helpful

Whittier is a small private school in the eclectic town of Whittier near Los Angeles, California. The classroom sizes are small, within the range of one teacher per 25 students. thus, there is a lot of one-on-one time with your professors. Also, this gives way to making influential friends (people in high places) that assist you throughout life. the opportunities that are afforded to a Whittier student or graduate are irreplaceable and can rarely be found at another institution.

    The professors and fellow students alike are the friendliest people I've ever met. There's a sort of family feel shared among everyone here. Even when I have to miss a day or two of class, the professors are completely understanding, and will often times take some of their own free time to help me catch up on what I missed.

    Whittier College is a great college, it is extremely small and allows students to build relationships with their professors. If a student is struggling within a class, there is no reason why they shouldn't find help. The student-life is also great, everyone is friendly and willing to help one another.
