Franklin and Marshall College Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Elizabeth

The best thing about Franklin&Marshall is the campus-wide support that fellow students provide. All of the art shows, dance and music concerts, fundraising activities etc. are always sold out to other students. The Greek organizations support each other and work to involve the entire campus and professors always attend events to support their students. At F&M I know that I will be encouraged and supported in anything that I want to get involved with and because of that I have joined many groups and clubs on campus and I am having an amazing time.

Eliana

Our campus is beautiful, but really small, so it is really easy to get from place to place.

Vicki

Our school is very strong in undergraduate research. Many students have the chance to do an independent study in their major for money or credit and many will get published.

Julia

The best thing about Franklin and Marshall is the programs and services that if offers. If you tell someone that you attend Franklin and Marshall, almost always he will mention how good of a school it is. Whether you are Chemistry major on the pre-med track or a Business major, people respect the difficulty and demand required to graduate with a degree. Not only do we offer great majors, but also F&M has impressive career service outreach that excels in connecting students with alums.

Carolyn

It is an intimate campus setting where professors and students interact and bond. Students are highly motivated and opportunities are everywhere if you take the initiative and pursue them. They are so many people that are willing and want to help you succeed.

Lisa

Small class sizes and great teacher availability, it is a lot easier to get one on one attention from the teacher that way for better learning and especially when you have questions

Alex

We are gossip people. We have ghost stories for most of the old building on campus. We have rumors about our residential house...But we still live happily on campus :)

Thomas

The professors that are always willing to be there for you.

Paul

diverse options of classes

Sarah

One of the greatest things about F&M is the varied opportunities you are not only afforded, but that are easily accessible. These opportunities come from alumni who are eager to help students with career advice and internships, professors who love to give students as much summer and semester research experience as they can, and from the small size of the student body, which is an asset when the amounf of resources is fit for a student body 2 or 3 times our size.

Ellen

The close relationship that students have with their professors. My professors help me to learn, but they are also my friends. I am on first name basis with many of them and know their families.

Brandon

The small class sizes that make you want to learn. In larger Universities and colleges, it is a completely different learning enviroment that doesn't really teach you in the same way that a smaller, liberal arts college does.

Amanda

I love the energy on campus... The faculty and staff are consistently making an effort to improve the school, not only for the students, but also the surrounding community. There is constantly something new being done! President Fry has really revitalized the campus.

Yana

The relationships and opportunities to work with professors. Professors are really involved in studentw ork if you want them to be and there are some great people who are interested in you, take you seriously, and are willing to support you.
