Billy
Springfield College is my home away from home. As a member of the men's gymnastics team, I have been able to make so many friendships with my teammates, the women's team, coaching staff, and other athletes that support our program. These connections will last a lifetime, and I am so thankful for all that the college has offered academically and athletically.
JEROME
I am very grateful for Springfield Colleges Very Liberal acceptance policy and registration goals, I have attempted three times to finish my degree and with no success with seven credits left I will finish this year.
Reghan
Springfield college is my first top choice college. It is such a great school and heard so many amazing things about it. I am the athletic type and Springfield is such a great school to play as many sports as you like. I applied and got accepted and winning a couple scholarships would make my dream come true to go to this college.
Reghan
I have been accepted to Springfield College and can't wait to start this fall 2020. I love the campus and all of the intramural sports. There are also a ton of other opportunities to get involved in. I am going for physical education and this school is known to have an excellent program!
Samantha
Springfield College is an excellent college. It is a small campus with around 2500 students total. I feel the small population is beneficial as it provides us with smaller class sizes and more one-on-one time with professors. All of the professors are very accommodating, for the most part, and always around to give a hand or just talk. The classes are all well put together for the most part and quite interesting. Overall the school has great counseling services and a pretty good health center that can provide you with basic care. If you are looking for a sense of community, we have it here. Springfield College participates in Humanics in Action where we go out into our community and help with different tasks. We also help in the elementary schools nearby and hospitals. Springfield college has much to offer on the weekends from partying to school hosted events in the Union. Overall, Springfield is an awesome school to go to.
Madelaine
Springfield College has given me the best opportunity in the world to improve myself as a better person. I felt at home on campus from my first tour. The staff really does care about the well-being of the students. This campus truly is student run through and through. I have never been this in charge of my passions and academics; it's incredible. I would recommend this school to someone looking for a small school with a positive, energetic, and family-like atmosphere.
Abigail
It is a really nice looking campus, and it is not too big or too small. I have never met so many nice people in one place. Everyone holds doors open for each other and says hellos while passing by. There is always something to do on campus. If you are not into partying, the activities club always has events at going on.
Erin
Springfield College is very welcoming and makes me feel safe and comfortable while on campus. Everyone is open to offer their assistance at all times no matter what else they may have to do. Everyone on campus is involved in some club, activity, or sport, and all of the friends I have made there are well educated and dedicated to their education.
Samantha
I think it is a good school and my experience so far is great. My professors care about each and every student and they are usually very easy to contact. All of the facilities on campus and clean and well-maintained. My only complaint is that the food in the dining hall is not amazing but you can usually find something worth eating.
miracle
springfield college is fun and has great clubs and help students with their academics to stay focus.
Valmore
Springfield College does a lot of false advertising. They like to show off to incoming freshmen but not to returning students. The food is ok. Dorm rooms are similar to a prison. Tuition is goes up 3% every year, it is currently 50K a year. Academics vary on your drive for success. A lot of things have to change at Springfield College. Other than that, the school has a great spirit. College culture is great, you'll definitely build great friendships.
Courtney
I love SC. The dynamic is amazing. I was hesitant at first about attending a college in a different state but SC felt like home the moment I stepped onto the campus. I love it! Ive met some of my best friends there. I have definitely grown up and have pushed myself out of my comfort zone.
Arielle
I love this school! There are so many opportunities and so many clubs to choose from! The athletic department is great also. They are always there to help you and will have you ready for everything! On the field and in the classroom! You will never feel alone!
James
This is one of my priority picks for colleges. They have an excellent sports program and excellent sport studies. This is very important to me since I want to play College Basketball and I want to study Sports Management. I've toured campus and must make my decision.
Kyle
If you would like to attend a small college this is the place to be ..I thought it was going to be a lot more exciting with many more things to do but it isn't ...

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would be more involved in high school and realize everyone has a story. I felt that in high school, I was very quick to judge, but no having a year of college under my belt, I have to realize everyone comes from somewhere and everyone is here for a reason. My worst day might be someones best day.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
There is a lot of pressure to do well academically and physically at my school. The school is very body-type focused. The students all work out and eat well. You have pressure to looks your best and always be on your A game when it comes to working out
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
I feel the most frustrating thing about my school is that it is really geared towards sports. Sometimes it feels as thogh if you are not part of a team, then you have no place on campus. It's almost like you NEED to participate in some sort of athletic activity or attend the games.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
This school focuses on the spirit, mind, and body aspect of the students, as well as providing several opportunites for students to partake in a wide variety of experiences.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I was pretty well informed before I went to the school. They provide orientation days for potential students and I heard really good things about the school.
My school is best known for the community service programs that mostly all students are involved in. We are also known for being very friendly; we have "Say Hey" day on campus where everyone says hello to everyone else.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Anyone that doesn't play sports, should definitely not attend this school. The school is all about sports and 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of people participate. Next, if you are from the lower middle class or below, the financial burden this school causes is a lot. Finally, if you do not like drinking, this school is not right for you. The majority of the students drink more than 3 times a week, and so if you do not like to party and/or drink, this school is not for you; you will be rejected.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I brag about the amazing facilities that Springfield has to offer and all the activities they offer. There are so many ways to get involved. Also, Springfield College is all about community and giving so the main focus of the school is what you can do for others and how we can become closer as a school.
Somewhat dependent on major. The professors for my major are very knowledgeable but more importantly they are very willingly to work with you. If you are having trouble with a topic, they are available during office hours or respond within a reasonable time to emails. The coursework for the physical therapy program is rigorous, but if you put in the work you will definitely succeed.
Springfield College gives you the opportunity to be involved in a variety of activities, while getting a good education. Springfield is the whole package.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
