Colby-Sawyer College Top Questions

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.
