Rating 3.48 out of 5 575 reviews
As a recent graduate, I can say that Sarah Lawrence was the best investment I made for my future.
Academics are self-guided, but supported by faculty. Students produce semester-long research papers in lieu of final exams, which enforce skills of time management, written analysis, and consideration. Routine one-on-one meetings with professors are built into class syllabi, and faculty express a true passion for teaching and seeing others learn. No classes are taught by TAs, which is VERY rare. The college has strong connections to Oxford Univ. for study abroad.
Students have access to activities like theatre, sports, and clubs. On weekends some may choose to hang on campus, while others take a short train ride to NYC out of Bronxville. Housing is unique. My freshman year, I lived in a renovated apartment with a private kitchen and bathroom. The surrounding neighborhood is very safe.
I graduated SLC with an employment offer. Some of my friends went directly to phenomenal grad programs

Sarah Lawrence is an amazing opportunity to get a well-rounded, liberal arts education that allows you to explore several areas of academic interest. Academically, I love the unique classes and opportunities the small seminar classes provide. If you're unsure of what you want to study, or if you are interested in studying several different things, it's a great fit. It's a very small school and a tight-knit community, so if that's what you prefer it can be great, but if you're looking for the typical college experience that comes with a large school, you probably won't find that here (especially in terms of sports and parties).
I really enjoyed my time at SLC. I had excellent professors, and got to take my education in the exact direction I wanted. Being able to do conference work made my work have a purpose. I will say that socially, things can be a little difficult. The school is full of introverted people so making friends can be difficult at times. Joining different clubs and student organizations was an excellent way to meet people and that definitely helped out.
