Sweet Briar, VA
Sweet Briar College

Sweet Briar was the best choice I ever made for my education. Any woman who wants a life-changing experience, look no further. At Sweet Briar, the faculty know your name and do whatever they can to help you become the most successful and reach your goals.

SBC needs public transportation access. We would have a better university experience if we could come and go as we please. Taxis are extremely expensive, and the malls and movie theatres are in another town. We are too isolated. More off-campus housing options and support for families. The campus is really beautiful. Not many people use the library and I mean "library" Most campuses have severy libraries but we have only one. It is a shame because they thought of everything. We have the best dean (she came from Vassar) and the president is awesome and sophisticated, but approachable. SBC is click=ish and a bit gossipy. But still beautiful.

I feel like Sweet Briar College is the best when it comes to finding something to do on the campus because we have such a wide area of acreage on the campus. We have so many trails on the the 3,250 acre campus. Also, I love the campus because it has students, coaches, and professors that care more for everyone else's health and not just their own. They also give it their best when trying to help students with stress management and academics.

Sweet Briar is a great school but it is very small. The sense of community here is incredible and everyone wants to see you exceed. The class sizes are great but the the options for classes to take are very limited. The food options are extremely limited and food is well below par. There is also little near campus so having a car or having a friend with a car is pretty much essential. Campus is beautiful, professors are great, riding center is fantastic.

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.
