bryana

I really like New England College , it is a small campus and all of the buildings are walking distance from any dorm. The people at this college are very nice and kind. The teachers here always helpful and always there when needed. They have their own email and most of the times will give you their phone number if it is easier to contact them on it. The class sizes range around 15-20 people in class so there is more of a 1 on 1 with the professor.

den

good.

Daniel

I had excellent relationships with all of my professors. The student environment is diverse and inclusive. There were times where I felt that I could have been challenged more academically and that other students weren't putting as much effort as I did in the classroom. I did feel that my efforts were recognized inside and outside the classroom.

Chelsea

A small college in a little New England town with local charm. The class size per classroom is an average up to 25 students. New England College has great nature trails and other natural amenities for fun outdoor fun during the warmer seasons and in the winter there is skiing and snowboarding at the local ski resort, Pat's Peak, where we get free lift passes.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Dear 15 year-old self, The day you stepped in your high school was the day you promised yourself that you would do everything in your power to make the best of your high school experience. You vowed to yourself that you would have no regrets as you walked to the podium to accept your diploma. You tried new things, met new people, made many friends and along the way, developed into an intelligent, independent and beautiful person. But, you missed one very important thing. You're worth is not determined by who or how many people are around you but rather it is determined by the quality of person that you are. Never let anyone influence your decisions and never put your self-worth on the back burner for others. I promise one day you'll figure it out. It is said that experience is the best teacher and that as life goes on, clarity will come to what is important and what is not. With much love, Your 20 year-old self

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing I consider about my school is the heating. In the winter months of New Englanad it gets very cold and coming into a warm building would make going to class so much easier. Sitting in class rooms that are freezing does not make the learning enviroment anymore comfortable. If the classrooms were warmer students would be more inclinded to come to every class and would have a more comfortable time learning.

  4. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about school is being away from home. Since I’m from Philly, I’m not use to a lot of people and in Henniker, New Hampshire, it’s different. Here in Henniker, it’s hard to adjust to a very small community. The air is fresher, the people are nicer. Being away from my family is hard enough and then there is college homework that gets over whelming at times. Everything changes once you get into college computer homework. Just because I’m a young adult, teachers imply that I know how to work a computer.

  9. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    One of the reasons why New England College was on my radar during by application process was because of its well-known education program. I've never been the person to take the easy way out, and I knew by going to NEC I would be challenged constantly in the major I wished to pursue. After one semester I can already tell that New England College will prepare me to be the best and most successful teacher that I could possibly be.
