Sweet Briar College

.

Beautiful Campus. Great Historic Buildings. Interesting Library.

Sweet briar is a perfect learning environment. There are a lot of really nice people and everyone is very friendly. Most classes are very small with great, engaging professors. The food is good and there is always a choice available. Living on campus is very convenient. Sweet Briar is a very rural campus with beautiful sites to see. Security is pretty tight at night. Not much partying on campus.

Sweet Briar College is among the best in its category: a liberal arts college for women. (Although, in recent years they began accepting male students). For women who want to cultivate their leadership skills, Sweet Briar College is a college that offers students that opportunity. The academics are rigorous, the campus is rural, but beautiful. SBC has 2 lakes 1 boat house, tennis courts, field hockey courts, a swimming pool, and a riding center. For women who want to board their horses, SBC is ideal. The classes are small and when I was there it had a "family type vibe/atmosphere". Most people were absolutely lovely. Many of us created custom- designed majors. There is a solid study abroad program. Our Alumnae Network is outstanding...

I feel that there is definitely room to improve, but the faculty genuinely care about the students here. You have to push for what you need as far as Financial Aid goes, but if you ask for help, you will receive help. Yes, it's an all girls school, so there will be drama. If you stay out of it and stay friendly, it won't touch you and it won't hurt you.

I am not currently living at Sweet Briar College, but I have visited and toured the campus. I am currently enrolled for the upcoming fall semester, and I am very excited! Everyone at the college is so nice, and they make you feel right at home. The professors I talked to were very professional and seemed to love being available to their students 24/7. I loved visiting Sweet Briar, and it was an easy choice for me to pick it as my future college.

I think Sweet Briar is an amazing school. The teachers here are ready to help you any way they can and with such small classes that makes it better. The only complaints I have are the following: 1.The school is not that diverse but the school is working to fix that. 2.Due to the location of the school, you are not able to leave campus without a car so a lot of people carpool. 3. Some girls come from rich families so they tend to not be able to do small things such as (laundry or cleaning their own dishes etc.) which causes problems if all the laundry machines are taken or the hall sink is full.

With the exception of needing to go elsewhere during the weekends for social events (No more than an hour away), the campus is beautiful, and campus life is great. The class sizes are small and the teachers are more than happy to help in and out of the classroom.

I feel that Sweet Briar is an amazing institute that enables women to grow and develop into leaders that can go out and conquer the world. The professors are extremely helpful and always willing to give advice on their specialized topics or just life in general.

I love my school! It is a perfect fit for students who want a small class size on a big open campus with plenty of room. Our professors are very accessible and are always happy to help students inside and outside of the classroom. I am a student-athlete and the athletic program is highly supported and encouraged at Sweet Briar, with a large percentage of student-athletes in the population. Also, the support we receive from alums is fantastic and a lot of times we are visited by alums on campus.
