Rating 3.38 out of 5 493 reviews
Please, strongly consider your other options, this school is absolutely not worth it. Although the school may be a cheaper option, the academics here are disorganized, the professors do not care about their students, and the school itself does not seem sustainable for much longer. If you are looking at the nursing major here, beware, you will most likely need therapy after. The school seems to cater well to special needs students, but not if you are physically disabled.
The buildings are not safe, constantly loosing power and water. The dorms are not handicap accessible - and the elevators in the academic buildings are questionable at best. The winters are also rough, and the school does not appropriately remove snow/ice making accessibility incredibly difficult.
Students are generally unhappy, considering the lack of student life and the overprotective campus safety. I strongly recommend looking at other schools and putting colby sawyer at the bottom of your list.

Colby Sawyer College was a great institution for health sciences. I was in the nursing program and had the opportunity to do my clinical rotation at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I was able to land a summer internship in Maine and a full time job at the Johns Hopkins Hospital following graduation. The campus is small and the town is pretty quiet, but some people enjoy that scene. Professors are incredibly helpful and support you in any way possible. The administration tries to listen to students concerns and implement changes accordingly.
My experience here at Colby Sawyer College has been excellent so far. The people and the professors are amazing and the overall social life is pretty good. I thought the transition to college would be hard but it really wasn't hard at all. I went to a small high school and Colby Sawyer is somewhat small, so I feel like the transition was a lot easier for me.
