Vassar College Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 669 reviews
Vassar is a vibrant and inclusive community, with a diverse cohort of students who are not just intellectually curious but also incredibly supportive. Dining hall, the Deece, offers a variety of food, and when time is of the essence, the Retreat and Express cafeterias provide quick and convenient dining solutions. Vassar's faculty members are approachable, nurturing, and genuinely invested in our success, they go above and beyond to ensure that each student reaches their full potential. With small class sizes averaging around 20-25 students, learning becomes an immersive experience. And let's not forget the invaluable opportunity to attend in-person office hours. There are a lot of opportunities at Vassar whether studying abroad, pursuing a dual degree program, or participating in clubs and events. With easy access via train, Vassar is just a two-hour drive away from New York City. So if you're seeking a small campus with big opportunities, look no further than Vassar College.
Academics are rigorous but enriching, parties are scarce and oftentimes dull, food is (contrary to other online opinions) good, and the campus is beautiful in every season. As someone who did not initially want to come here, I have grown very fond of the school. I've made great friends and learned a lot, and have learned that Vassar is a school and has a faculty that really cares about its students, providing them with the means and resources they need to thrive and flourish, both here and beyond.
There is no college more beautiful than Vassar you will ever find. The academic program is impeccable, and I feel as though I have never learned so much in my whole life. The people come from a diverse range of backgrounds and are all very interesting and interested in what they are studying. I recommend.
