What Students Are Saying

It is a hard college but worth trying
Julianna from Worcester, MA
I am challenged by my courses and pushed to new limits. It makes me a stronger student.
Anne from New Ipswich, NH
As mentioned before, each professor has different demands for their students.
At Assumption, we take 5 classes a semester. This may not sound like a lot, but the course work is quite difficult sometimes. Homework, projects, essays and tests tend to pile up. It is important to manage your time wisely and utilize the resources given to you. Some classes are easier than others, but tend to get more difficult as you get into the 300/400 level classes. It makes a huge difference having the best professor, I would advise looking up reviews of professors before deciding on a class.
Kathryn from Worcester, MA
The school is easy enough for people with higher grade point averages like 3.3 up and a real challenge for those in the 2.0 range.
Gabriella from Otisfield, ME
Academically, Assumption is very thorough. A syllabus at the beginning of each semester is given in every class, explaining what each day will entail. Each teacher teaches with their own styles but also relates to students, so each student has the ability to do well and understand the material.
Jonathan from Holden, MA
At Assumption College, teachers truly admire when students put much effort into their school work. They encourage students to email them, go to their office hours, and even go to the Academic Support Center with any academic help that they may need. If a student chooses to do these things, their academic experience at Assumption College will become more of a smooth task.
