Unfortunately those people are rare and you are most likely not one of them. Especially if you are a student of the sciences, Knox college is probably the worst. I can see why a classics major or an art major would feel differently, however having some experience with art courses I don't see where that comes from.

It's true that it takes a certain kind of person to succeed at Knox--you have to be willing to put in the work, you shouldn't be looking for a party school, and you should be able to survive in a small community where (it's true) everybody does know everybody. But that's no different from any small liberal arts college. I have found that the faculty I have interacted with, particularly in the Classics department where I study, are some truly wonderful people who I trust and ask for advice not only about classes and academics but about issues and problems outside the classroom as well. I have been gifted with some amazing opportunities--studying abroad in Rome for a semester, a wonderful summer internship in a burgeoning new field, a chance to work on an archaeological dig this summer--and I credit those opportunities largely to Knox. It's not a perfect school, of course; the students can tend to be a little intolerant (most of the student body is liberal, politically and socially), the administration isn't as efficient as we'd like, the school food (while better than a lot of universities I've heard about) gets boring after awhile, and things aren't always in the best repair. But I've found that these are small disadvantages compared to the overwhelming advantages I see in Knox. I've found a group of wonderful, interesting friends and classmates, plenty of opportunities to challenge myself academically, and the faculty and administrative support to succeed at those challenges. I think that the things Knox has taught me will be enough to get me through graduate school and into the world beyond with competence and confidence.

My experience at Knox has been nothing but a great disappointment. I have wasted 3 years of my life, money and what have I gained? Absolutely NOTHING. Knox College has absolutely no positive attributes that balance out all the negative aspects of this rundown worthless college. First and foremost, academics. You would expect any "good" college to have a good decent number of excellent professors and mabye a few bad ones. Here in Knox however, it is the exact opposite....majority of the faculty here are terrible professors leaving maybe a handful of "good" teachers. Apparently the ability to teach is not a requirement to become a professor here at Knox. The teachers also tend to be very proud and arrogant, for the wrong reasons. Things would be better if the professors atleast acknowledged their lack of teaching ability, instead they parade around bragging about the number of students who have failed their classes. Professors here also have the practice of picking favorites among their students. Unless you are lucky enough to be one of those, you are screwed. They couldn't care less about you or your future. If you fail the class...great! It's just another F that they can go around parading to their colleagues. The grades you get at Knox depend on your ability to educate yourself. You have to find other resources and other books to teach yourself. Knox College does not have the professors or the equipment needed to assist students into medicine. The equipment that the science department has is pathetic. Knox is very cheap when it comes to improving the campus or buying any additional equipment. The administration is very cheap and very very keen on taking money away from you. There is much more to say about Knox but all in all....Knox College will be a waste of your money and your life. I will strongly recommend that you spend your money wisely and pick another college. Don't fall for their tricks or their stats. There is NO advantage in coming to Knox and nothing to look forward. Don't come to Knox! Save yourself the pain, humiliation and disappointment. Extracurricular Activities: B-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
