Earlham College has made my life difficult and unhappy one way too many occasions. I have been lied to by teachers and the administration. The academics are horrible; Earlham claims to be a great school, but if you are smart...don't go here. I went here because they offered me a lot of financial aid, but I spent my freshman year eating disgusting food, taking boring classes, and feeling depressed about Richmond, IN. There is A LOT of drug and alcohol use. Don't be surprised to witness drug-induced student monologues in class. I am transferring and the registrar's office is attempting to refuse to fill out a college official's report- it is their job and they are lame beyond belief. I completely regret going to Earlham. It was a waste of money and time.

Earlham was a fantastic experience. I feel very good about the academics, social opportunities and socially conscious world aware education I received.

I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any. I looked at several other top tier liberal arts colleges and have never regretted selecting Earlham. I can think of no better school for both education and character building.

Earlham's biggest problem is is not its faculty, but its administration and bureaucracy. Despite being an undergraduate college, the Earlham's bureaucracy often acts as if the college is there for them rather than the students. The president and administration as well as departments like Residence Life have been nothing but rude, dismissive and inefficient in my time at Earlham.

I think that Earlham gets a lot of shit because of its location and intimate social life. I think the location has a lot more to offer than a lot of Earlham students discover, and while you should not come to Earlham if you're looking for an urban school, I think Richmond is very underrated. There isn't much to do in terms of nightlife, shopping and eating out, but there are a few great second hand shops, and nice local cafes and bars. What Richmond really has to offer though is a school system, and local gevernment that are willing to accept the help of Earlham students, and offer real world expereince in community, social, and education work. Volunteering regular hours at the highschool, planned parenthood, and going out to community events (school plays, local blue grass/ country rock concerts, rec-center fundraisers)on the weekends has helped me a feel a part of the community, and kept me busy enough to be satisfied with the lack of shopping and nightlife.
Social life at Earlham (and all schools with under 2,000 students, I assume) is very intimate, cliquey, and sometimes overly dramatic. I don't mind all that much becuase I have some great friends, and I think that its worth it for the small classes and novelty of recognizing everyone. But you should be prepared for that.
