What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would tell students to pick a school where they can be themselves, but are pushed academically. I think it is important for students to visit the school and make sure they feel they could be a student there. When receiving acceptance letters it is important to make sure that the school you got into makes you excited and calls out to you. The school should be a place where the student would feel comfortable living and making new friends. While at school students should push themselves to learn as much as they can. They should form relationships with their peers, and teachers. The student should also become involved in as many school activities as they would like to help socialize and further develp their relationship with peers.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The location can bother people. The nearest city is 30 mins away. The school funds a lot of on campus activities and there are a few stores in town but to go to the movies of a restaurant you have to travel. People will car pool to go places but it would be nice if it were closer.

What's unique about your campus?
What I love most about Colby-Sawyer is the close knit community. Being a small and rather isolated school can feel constricting to some students, but with the high availability of on campus clubs, organizations, and events, as well as resident life programming it does not take most students long to form a close groups of friends and classmates. The small campus lifestyle also fosters relationships between students and professors, allowing students to find professors who match their learning style, engage with them, and chose to take more classes in their interests.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frusterating part of Colby-Sawyer College is hard to explain. I personally don't like how the town and school are extremely tiny, because there is nothing much to do or places to go. However, the scenery is beautiful during autumn, and if you like to ski then this is the place for you. Campus itself is small and only has 1800 students total, so there is a variety, but you can't go unnoticed.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I had been given more chances to explore career oppourtunities (like the companies coming to speak and interview with the students). After college life has been a real challenge. Overall the small liberal arts college is great, but there are just little things that I feel I missed out on not going to a big school (fraternities, big games, etc).

What is your overall opinion of this school?
With just about 1200 current students, CSC is fairly small in size. Our average class size is about 17 students, and we cap our classes at 25 students, so you'll never have a huge lecture class. Your professors will get to know you, and they'll do everything they can to make sure you understand the material in class, and they'll offer help wherever they can.
The campus is gorgeous - incredible views of Mt. Sunapee and Mt. Kearsarge; no matter where you stand on campus, there's a beautiful view. It's something you have to see in person to understand - photos just don't do it justice.
CSC is a wonderful school. The people are wonderful, the classes are interesting, the professors are amazing, the campus is beautiful, the size is perfect. Even the food's good, though it does get tiring eating the same kind of food every day (we have Sodexho) but that's true with any school.
Come up for a visit, you'll see how fantastic this school is!

What are the most popular classes offered?
Well, every major is different (duh) so I don't know that there are specific classes that are popular overall, but classes that a lot of people enjoy are Lit & Film, Stagecraft, and Bio 106 (okay, kidding on that one).
Honestly, I'm not sure. We've got a lot of neat classes, and everyone has their favorites.

When you step off campus what do you see?
Also, the adorable town of New London, NH. It's small, but it's quaint and very New England. There's a few different restaurants and cafes around town, and some nice little shops. Everything you need is in town - a couple of pizza places, Dunkin Donuts, a cafe, a fancy restaurant, an Inn, Hannaford's, Pharmacy, Liquor Store, Bank, Two gas stations, Subway, an Ice Cream Shop...Yep. New London's cute. Oh, also there's an art store and a knit shop.

Where is the best place to get work done on campus?
The library has a bunch of places to curl up and get work done in peace and quiet. Also they have a bunch of computer labs if you need that.
Thornton Living Room in Colgate Hall (our main building) has a few big tables and some couches and chairs. It's a nice place to get work done.

What are the academics like at your school?
With small classes (average size 17 students, no more than 25), the professors get to know you really well. Your professors will know your name, and they'll say hi to you when they see you around campus. They provide their office hours, emails, and office phone numbers so that you can contact them at any time if you need help.
Our classes are cool, too. When you're a freshman, you'll take a "Pathway" course which is sort of an "intro to college" course. It will be something completely unrelated to your major (I'm currently a Teacher's Assistant for a Pathway course called Zombies!!!! where we watch zombie films and discuss the history of the time period in which the film was made, and what the zombies represent). You'll take Pathway first semester freshman year, and again second semester sophomore year (same course, same professor, same group of students) and you'll learn how to integrate skills and knowledge from other courses. Also, your pathway class will be your orientation group during Freshman Orientation - so the group of 20 or so students you bond with that first weekend will be in your class come Monday morning. This helps reduce that feeling of being a freshman; a new kid.

Tell us about your professors.
Plain and simple, I love all of my professors. They're really cool, interesting people, and they get to know they're students really well. My favorite professor is Dr. Pat Anderson, and I joke that I'm majoring in English with a minor in Pat Anderson because I took so many of his classes, that I wound up with a minor! The professors want you to succeed, so they'll do whatever it takes to work with you and make sure you're doing well and you're happy.
