  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

Great school which has many different options. Great professors that will help you out all the time. An amazing campus that is comfortable and has a lot of activities.
Ivan from Hooksett, NH
i love my school. however i do work very hard and my grades don't always reflect it. there are some problems with my school but i'd rather be here than anywhere else.
Stephen from Londonderry, NH
It's a great school for nursing majors who want a small, traditional school with little to no diversity but a great nursing program.
SAC student
this is the perfect school for faithful republicans who want to become more active in politics. there is a large focus on political activity and the development of critical thinkers and active citizens. even the less popular majors are excellently staffed with enthusiastic professors.
