Not so bright
I am so saddened reading the comments about Colby-Sawyer. Granted I graduated back in the dark ages of 1988 but it was the perfect school for me. It was small and beautiful. All of my professors knew me well and my classes were very small-I think my largest one had thirty people in it. I was sad that it went co-ed but understand it was what was needed to stay afloat. I hope it hasn't become what the other reviewers say it has. I loved Colby-Sawyer and will always remember the song "Colby forever deep in our hearts".

I came to Colby Saywer as a first year freshmen, and the school was misleading right from your first tour. They say that a lot of people say here on the weekends, however this is inaccurate because people always leave on the weekends. The pair survey they make you complete is a joke, they will match you with your complete opposite- i.e you dont want a smoker for a roommate, so they will put you with someone who chews tobacco. The campus is unsafe, you can never find campus safety. The board, and the people here do not care if you are valuable student, they simply dont care. The food here sucks, its the same... or you will throw up or poop your brains out. This school really sucks.

Quite Bright
I was very disappointed with the cost of this college and the awful education I was getting. The professor for the one class I had that was towards my major was the worst professor/teacher I've ever had. The class was a waste of my time and money. I ended up transferring to Emerson College mid way through my freshman year.

Terrible.

The buildings are in awful condition. I was fortunate enough to have a private bath, but I really wish I didn't. The room was a combination of mold, rust, and water stains. The tiles would fall off of the wall due to mold; I would usually just tape them back on. The bath tub was a molded over black tub with a thin piece of white plastic over it, I know this because while trying to scrub the tub, the plastic peeled back.
A heating pipe burst over my bed.
I can count with my fingers how many warm (hot is totally out of the questions) showers I took.
The heaters in general never work, the floors are warped, and walls have noticeable water damage.

The faculty as a whole leaves much to be desired. The majority of the professors I had were close-minded and lazy. Classes were either wasted by giving the time to students to do their homework, which should already been done, or with playing games. Or classes were cancelled. Any questions as why they conduct their courses in such a way, results in the student being kicked out.

Between the poor faculty and horrible living situations, I don't understand how they get off charging 40+ grand a year.

If you're interested in this area of New Hampshire, I recommend New England College or University of New Hampshire.
