What Students Are Saying

Most of the professors expect you to be at your class every time there is class, some having no allowed absences unless there is an emergency and late work isn't acceptable. However, since students are paying for these classes, it is understandable to work to achieve this.
Melissa
The academics expect a great deal out of you, but sometimes are too general in their lectures. Some fine details you are not expected to know and the general concepts are substituted for what seems like necessary information. The programs do, however provide a spectacular base to build upon if other avenues are explored outside of the classroom, which the college does provide.
Luke from Ira, VT
The classes and instructors are very honest when it comes to both how difficult they are and their grading.
Ryan from Andover, VT
my first semester was an easy transition between high school and college. now that i'm in my second semester, i find my classes to be more difficult and challenging but this isn't a bad thing!
