I enjoy Daemen College for the academic program I have chosen. It costs quite a bit of money, so earning scholarships is a must if you receive little to nothing from FAFSA. I've met many new people from dorming, but the food is overpriced for what you get.

Cameron - 07/22/2022

Daemen College is a great school that has small class sizes that I really enjoy. It also has an inclusive atmosphere and lots of opportunities for everyone on campus to meet people and do things that they are interested in. A final note is that most of the professors that I have come across are very helpful and treat the students as adults.

Daemen College is a private college, good for students who are interesting in PT and PA.

Julianna

The moment I stepped onto campus I felt at home. The small community at provides an at home atmosphere that most other colleges cannot provide. The opportunities at Daemen are better than I could have ever imagined. I am a student in the Education Department,all of my classes have a small student to teacher ratio, which allows for more opportunities for each student. I am so excited for where my future will take me here at Daemen, and I have a lot to learn, but I feel like this is the best place for me to be.
