Franklin and Marshall College (F&M)

These have genuinely been some of the best years of my life. The college community is very approachable. The professors and professional staff are always looking to help out. The workload is tough, but you get used to it. It's best to get involved somehow on campus, through clubs, sports, greek life, etc. It definitely helps out a lot.

My favorite part about Franklin & Marshall College is the amount of student involvement. I feel that I have really been able to connect with my professors and have been able to become close to not only students in my graduation year but older and younger students as well. I believe that my ability to get to know the other students and my professors is not only due to the small classroom sizes, but how active all the students and professors are towards campus life. each student that you meet is part of a number of organizations including either greek life, a sports team, a college house executive board, or an academic or athletic club. It is so nice to constantly meet individuals who are so interested in a variety of different things and who want to not only passionate about their studies, but are passionate about the different clubs and organizations they are apart of as well. The active student atmosphere made me try so many things that I never would have thought of trying when I had first applied. One tip for prospective students is to really decide what you want to study before coming. Since it is a small school the range of courses that you can take are limited, so really make sure the school has the major or offers the courses that you want to take in college before you attend it. It is also a very small school, so if you are someone who enjoys meeting a new person everyday this school is not for you. However, if you are interested in a school which will give you a close knit community, Franklin & Marshall is a great school to attend.
