    Am learning a lot

    The staff and the faculty at the Elms are more than willing to help students with anything they may be having trouble understanding or just if they need someone to talk to. On many occasions I have gone for help from my professors and they have been very gracious in sitting down with me and helping me with any little problem that I may have. The small class sizes and the one-on-one attention that students have with their professors is something that definitely drew me to Elms.
    Am enjoying being here

    Every school environment has its ups and downs, but The Elms is genuinely a friendly place to learn, live and grow as an individual. I have learned so much in just one semester! I knew that being away from home would be difficult, but the friends I've made, clubs I've joined and activities that I have been apart of has made the transition that much easier for me. Not to mention, the smaller college environment, is just what I needed to adjust to life as a college student.
    Bang for the buck

    Granted the college is a private institution, Elms financial aid services has made it possible for my mother and I to afford to go there. (Not to mention the hard work that needs to be put in to get the scholarships that are offered.) Nonetheless, as long as you are a hard-worker, can keep up a respectable GPA, and display a need for financial aid, there should be very little that The Elms can't do to accommodate you.
    Tips for prospective students

    The goal of Elms College is to Educate Reflective, Principled and Creative Learners. So for any student who is considering The Elms, I would highly encourage them to look online and look through the Elms College website. There you will find so much more information on the Elms, the Sisters of Saint Joseph, admission deadlines and who to contact if yo have any questions. I would also highly encourage you to visit the campus during one of their open house days. On many occasions you will be on campus with a lot of the students you may see next year! There is so much to do around campus and the town of Chicopee, that the opportunities are endless.
    Great for these types of students

    The Elms is great just about any type of person form any background, because it has so much to offer. Just because it may be a small Division III school, we have a lot of pride and heart. If you are a student looking for a more one-on-one learning environment with teachers, staff, faculty and friends that really care, then Elms College is the place for you.

    elms college is a very good college with many nice people that encourage and motivate their students to be professionals in the future. not every college take from their time to dedicated to the needs of their students and how they are doing in class, but elms college do. i would encourage everyone to take a chance and try this unforgettable experience of being in a college that they treat you well and they dedicate time on their students.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Elms college are really helpful. They understand that you pay to be there and are there for a great education. A lot of them are willing to help you outside of the classroom and have many different techniques to help many different students.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is a diverse campus which I love. You never get bored because there is always something going on. The fact that it is a small college is great because you get a chance to know so many people, you're not spread out over a huge campus. The buildings are also closer together than on a university campus.
    Bang for the buck

    It is expensive but get some scholarships and you'll be okay. Elms has such a good reputation for getting an amazing education so any job application that says Elms College on it will definitely get looked at!
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you check out the campus before you decide to come. Meet with plenty of professors, administration and current students to get the feel of the campus.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are a student that likes to have small classes and wants a small college, this is it. It's perfect size where you will not get lost and the class sizes are never really big which lets you be more open to asking questions and admitting when you're a little confused!

    I have found Elms College to have an excellent Nursing Program with well qualified Nursing Professors. The Professors expand your knowledge base while allowing your thoughts and ideas flourish.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come to the campus and breathe the historical knowledge and success just walking through the hallways.
    Academic Rigor

    The Nursing program at Elms College is challenging as well as rewarding. When you start your clinical rotations you feel prepared to work in any care setting with having the feelings of having experienced similar situations in their simulation lab.
    Dorm Life

    na
    Food and Dining

    The variety in foods on a daily basis is vast. You don't feel like you have 2 choices. The quality and taste brings you back for more.
    What to do for fun

    Being right near the highway, you are close to all local attractions. There is always something to do right on campus as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Being an older student with a full time job and a family to care for, I don't walk onto campus and feel like an older woman. I feel accepted and treated like one of the students.
    Campus Safety

    Safety always comes first. The security department is available and visible to whom ever needs them. I have never felt unsafe on campus or off.

    i believe it has a good nursing program, but i don't believe its worth the tuition. the school needs a lot of work. and classroom and dorms are not what we are paying for.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would definitely visit the school for applying. make sure you the major you pick is worth the tuition.
    Academic Rigor

    it depends on the major you have. the main majors like nursing, csd and education are a lot more rigorous than the others.
    Dorm Life

    its pretty boring living at elms. there is not much to do on campus or off. and there are not many people who dorm.
    Food and Dining

    we just recently got a new cafe, but we have alot of the same things all the time. be prepared to eat a lot of chicken and pasta.
    What to do for fun

    as a nursing major i don't have a lot of free time, but when i do i try to get out of elms. i go to surrounding towns like northampton or amherst
    Bang for the buck

    again depending on your major.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    at the beginning of every school year we have a commencement and elms night. its nice because we have a mass and the whole school comes together, then later the students meet each other.
    Great for these types of students

    people who are really focused on school work and dont mind there not being a lot to do.
    Clubs and Activities

    we have a ton of different sports teams and there's always some sort of thing going on in the cafe.
    Greek Life

    sorry no frats here.
    Campus Safety

    its a really small campus so the safety is pretty good.

    Am learning a lot

    I am currently a freshman at Elms College, and I've learned a lot during this first semester. The professors seem to really know the material and most of them teach it well. I've learned more and retained more information at this college than at my high school. If you need help understanding something, the professors are always there to help you learn the material. You can also go to the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and there are tutors there to help if you're struggling, as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    Elms College is in Chicopee. The part of Chicopee it's in is decent, but if you stray too far away you get into a not so good area. The campus is pretty dead on weekends (a lot of people go home), but if you have a few friends you can usually find at least something to do.
    Bang for the buck

    I think Elms is worth the almost $40,000, especially if you are a nursing student. The campus is nice, O'Leary Hall (which is a dorm) was renovated recently and is beautiful. You learn a lot and there are a lot of good professors. Nursing is the most prominent major and what the school is known for, and they have an excellent program for it.
    Tips for prospective students

    MAKE FRIENDS. There are less than 1,000 students on campus and sometimes it can get a little boring. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, it'll be worth it in the end. Also, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFICE HOURS AND THE ARC. Your professors and the tutors are there to help you when you're struggling. If you want someone to look over a paper for your English class, bring it to the ARC and they can read over it and help you edit it, and some professors even give you extra points for doing it.
    Great for these types of students

    -Nursing students
    -Students who like small classroom environments
    -Students who don't want to be a number, but to be known by name by all their professors
