Hey guys, I've been researching Stonehill College in MA and want to get a sense of the campus life. If you're a current student or a recent grad, could you share your experiences? What are the academic programs like, and how is the social scene? Is the student body diverse?
Sure, I can provide some insight into the college from what I've learned and what I've heard from students.
Stonehill College is a liberal arts college located in Easton, Massachusetts. Academically, it offers a broad range of majors with Business, Criminology, and Psychology as some of the top fields of study. Students often praise the professors for being approachable and invested in their students' success. The class sizes are typically small, which allows for meaningful interactions and discussions.
On the social scene, Stonehill has a reputation as a tight-knit community. There are various clubs and activities for students to be involved in, catering to many interests. Some popular ones include Club Ice Hockey, Mock Trial, and Model United Nations. Like many campuses, weekend activities include themed events, movie nights, and student performances. However, it's important to note that Stonehill is a dry campus, meaning alcohol is not allowed on the premises, which might influence the party scene compared to other colleges.
Stonehill also emphasizes service and social justice throughout its curriculum and has various community outreach programs which also adds to the sense of community on the campus. This service-oriented approach is something unique and makes it stand out.
In terms of diversity, Stonehill's student body has historically been less diverse than some schools, but the college is actively working to increase diversity on campus. Efforts have been made to create a more welcoming environment like creating a Diversity Council and offering programs aimed at fostering appreciation for diversity and inclusion.
Finally, Stonehill's campus is often praised for its beauty, and its location between Boston and Providence provides many interesting opportunities for off-campus trips for shopping, cultural experiences, and internships.
