Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Math  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I ended up at KSC after a family emergency brought me back to N.H. from my first choice college. Once I left that school, the scholarship I'd been receiving was no longer available to me, and as an in-state student I decided to try KSC. The cost is great for your value, especially for in-state students. Campus life is vibrant and varied, and anyone who says otherwise has probably partied too much and become bored of the bar scene downtown. Frats and house parties are big, but there is plenty to do if that's not exactly your scene. TIP: All concerts and shows (including campus groups AND traveling artists) are $5 with a student ID at the Redfern Arts Center... check out the schedule each semester to find a few gems. Also check out the Putnam theater near the Redfern for free movies, often on the arty side. The "city" of Keene has plenty of good restaurants, shops, and a variety of bars and pubs downtown. Occasional live music, events at the Colonial Theatre, and Main Street-wide events like Pumpkin Fest keep things interesting. Brewbaker's and Prime Roast are great local coffee shops. LITTLE KNOWN FACT: All of Main Street has free wireless internet. Many businesses also provide their own, which may be more reliable on certain days. My best advice is to use Ratemyprofessors.com to check out which sections you want to take at KSC. There are some really great profs. here so have fun with your electives, and definitely ask others for recommendations-- I'm sure the majority of students will be able to tell you one or two professors you should take a class with before you graduate. KSC has a very strong math program. It's hard to go wrong with the professors who teach math major courses, and they do often switch up which courses they teach. TRY TO STUDY ABROAD! Remember that you're going to a school that's not so expensive (it's all relative) and that you will pay that same price to study at a university abroad, through KSC. With the dollar being so weak, it's so worth it. I studied in England (U. of Wolverhampton) for the price of KSC tuition, even though the exchange rate was $2 to the pound and everything else was about twice as expensive there once I translated it to dollars.

Some of the comments I have seen around here don't seem to speak very clearly for our school as a whole, and feel some of the comments don't truly represent what a great college this is. Like all schools, you have the "it is what you make it" mentality, but making "it" a great experience isn't hard at all. Whatever it is your interested, there's a group for it on campus. If you like to party, you're in luck, if you don't, there's always a ton going on. If you don't come for the social life, diverse majors and amount of things to do and people to meet, then come for the beautiful location. The city of Keene is truly a hidden gem within New England and is unbelievably beautiful in the Winter and Fall. Once you settle in, Keene quickly becomes your home away from home.

Keene definitely has its fair share of streets marinated in alcohol, but that shouldn't lessen the schools' reputation - I think there is a challenging education to be had if you are looking for it. The school is pretty light on the paperwork and bureaucracy compared to other schools of its size - classes are smaller and there are a lot of resources available on campus. The surrounding community is, for a smaller town, a decent one.... there's plenty of entertainment, shopping and work in town and within walking distance of the campus. The college really is a huge part of the town's identity, even if townspeople don't want to think so. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B- Have a Question?

My major is undecided so right now I am taking courses that will lead towards a general degree. This means that the classes I am taking the staff just put me into them so i'm not completely interested in these courses but they dont demand a lot from me at all. Coming from a highschool where you could hand in assignments 2-3 weeks late and still get the same grade as someone does when they hand it in when its due, this college is the same way. Everynight there is something to do, party wise. Walk outside your building and you can hear the frat parties bumping. You need to learn to balance your drinking and work but not really all that much. The work load doesn't ruin your life, you get it done then you can go out. simple as that. The party nights to go out are Thursday and Saturday, the big parties where everyone you know is out, but other than that everyone else goes out and its a blast. This place is defffintaly what they call "Kinda Sorta College". They dont demand a lot from you and want you to have fun and get out and meet people instead of lock you in your room and make you study for hours upon hours. This is of course just my opinion, especially being "undecided" i have an easier work load, but do have a rooomate whose major is science and she has it just as easy as me. This place is deffintaly a party school so get ready to party. The proffessors are easy to find and are always right there in their office if you need them for anything. They are understandable and will listen to your issues if you couldn't make it to class, or your need help with understanding an assigment. basically this place is a bunch of fun, you meet kids who are exactly alike and very approachable, everyone here wants to have fun but wants to get their work done before doing that, but there are the kids that sleep in class and dont do anything, and those are the ones you see sleeping over at the frat parties because they couldn't exactly make it back to their dorm.
