Raleigh, NC
Meredith College

I want to go their because they are so close and act like family to one another. Its also 1-on-1, which I learn better with considering I'm coming from a small town. I would really like to go here but $27,000 was way to much for me considering I have 2 younger siblings. I didn't feel that I should take away from their futures, so instead I went to the community college and got my AS but I would like to further my education at Meredith in the Nutrition Program.

Meredith is overall a good school. The community is great and it has a sense of welcoming to it. There are usually a lot of things to do just because the college is in Raleigh, which has much to do. The food could be better but is usually good, it is college so no one is expecting gourmet meals. Some of the facilities could be updated but none of them are terrible and unlivable; they are nice and could just use some upgrades. The professors are always accessible and it's usually up to you whether or not you get help and/or get to know them.

Love the small size and family feel! The faculty (at least in the nutrition department) is fantastic! I only went here for graduate school so I don't have much exposure to the "typical" aspects of the college especially since I never lived on campus. However, as a grad student, I felt very at home in my department.

I love it- the class sizes are small and the campus has a very intimate feel. It's easy to succeed here not because the classes are easy (because they're not), but because Meredith faculty and staff make sure you're given all of the resources and opportunities to succeed.

Meredith college is such an inspiring and welcoming place to be. The campus is gorgeous and easy to navigate. Its also one of the safest campuses in the Raleigh area. The students and the faculty are accommodating, kind, and extremely amicable towards others. I highly recommend this school or even just a visit to the campus!

I love Meredith College. As soon as I walked into the building, it was warm and welcoming. Everybody there had smiles on there face and were welcoming. There is this big fountain as soon as you pull into the school and it is so amazing. The staff were so welcoming and nice. Any question we had they gave us answers, if we got lost while on a tour one of the students on the campus would help us.

Overall, Meredith has become my home away from home and has made me fall in love with being located in the state's capital. Although the dining hall food is normally gross and mainly tries to please vegans, the professors are almost always reachable even after you are no longer in their courses.

Meredith College is a great small private school within a large diverse city. Class sizes are small which is beneficial to communication with fellow students and instructors. Quaint campus is located within an area of the city where everything is easily accessible.

If you are looking for a fantastic education, you could not do better than Meredith College. If you are seeking the traditional college experience, on the other hand, you should probably keep searching. Meredith has a lot of wonderful things going for it: the campus is gorgeous, with classical brick buildings, lovely gardens and large, aged trees that speak for the college’s 126-year legacy. The dorm rooms are comfortably large and cozy, all with large windows to provide the rooms with natural lighting. The most impressive part of Meredith, however, is the faculty. While the college’s student body is vibrant and engaging in its own right, the level of dedication shown by the faculty is what has impacted me the most. The professors at Meredith care intensely on an individual level about every student, and if you make an effort to get to know them, you will find yourself with a number of valuable mentors. I had a professor for an art class in my first semester whom I adored so much that I took a gender studies class with her on whim the following semester; she was so encouraging and such a wonderful advisor that I ended up contracting a minor in the field. This sort of experience is the norm rather than the exception. At Meredith, what you put in you get back, be it on in the classroom or in the community. However, while the campus is very active, it feels less like college and more like an advanced version of high school in terms of the social scene; this may have something to do with the fact that it is both a women’s college and dry campus, but the small student body, the emphasis on a number of cutesy, almost childish traditions, the enforcement of archaic “boy hours” during which the residents of the dorms can have male visitors, and the tepid political environment of the campus lack the sense of atmosphere traditionally associated with going away to college. In summary, while there a number of complaints to be made about the school, if your focus is on academics, Meredith’s positive qualities ultimately outshine its faults.

Meredith college is a diverse university, and it welcomes students from all backgrounds. The student population is very supportive of one another, and it is not hard to make friends on campus. During my time there, I was able to create strong friendships that I know will last years into the future. Another great attribute of Meredith College is the faculty. The professors at this institution genuinely care about their students' success, and they help and encourage students to pursue internships and other career-building experiences. The general education program at the school is a bit extensive compared to other undergraduate schools, but students will graduate with a broad education, which is an asset when entering the work force. Meredith also provides ample opportunities for students to get involved in leadership roles, along with different clubs and organizations.
