Abri - 12/20/2018

Thomas College is a quiet, clean and extremely safe campus in Waterville Maine. There is no partying as academics and athletics take president over that. Students are friendly to one another and the campus is very welcoming as most everyone knows each other, it’s like a small community. Professors get to know you individually often times and are always around to help.

Megan - 11/20/2018

I believe that Thomas College offers a very supportive and educational environment that takes advantage of being a small school by encouraging everyone to be involved and to interact with everyone. While Thomas College may not offer the large college experience, it does offer a safe and accepting environment that pushes for students to create a relationship with professors and peers.
