 | Quite Bright | SLC is easier for students who are more self-directed, and naturally have passions and ideas for projects already in place. If you're a dabbler, or still unsure, take some time away and come to SLC when you're ready to make it happen. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Campus Maintenance: B | | | |

If you want to have the worst summer of your life go to any Sarah Lawrence program. I myself went to the Film program and only have complaints about it. Upon arriving to campus I was told that the program would be very different then what I had signed up and already paid for. The actual components of the Film program were much more intense then what I had signed up for and the teachers in the program, though credible, do not offer much wisdom. The teachers in the program have done some great work but when it comes down to them teaching they are not very good. The academic side of the program is not ran by Sarah Lawrence, which in this case, is a good thing. The Sarah Lawrence staff are very good at being awful supervisors. From the ground up the staff at Sarah Lawrence are despicable. My resident counselor was extremely irresponsible and didn't know how to control us. He never explained the rules to us, and only when we unknowingly broke them would he come down on us. Everyone in my program found this person to be awful and he alone would have made the program bad -that is if there weren't other more major faults. Another Sarah Lawrence staff member who is in charge of all of the Sara Lawrence summer programs is Liz Irmiter. This lady is the epitome of all evil. There is no way to explain how horrible of a person this woman is in a simple review. She creates ludicrous rules and only enacts them when she feels its correct. Her only purpose, which she makes clear on a constant basis, is to not get sued. She is willing to do anything to ensure that she will not get sued. She rarely makes herself open for questions and when she does she is not willing to hear your side of the argument. The worst part about this lady is that before coming to the program I spoke to her on the phone multiple times to ensure that I would enjoy the program. She seemed like a nice woman and told me many facts about the program that I liked. She told me the privileges I would have at the program and I could not wait to come here. Once I did go, I noticed that half of the things that came out of this woman's mouth was a lie. Word of advice: If this woman still has a job at Sarah Lawrence in the future (which I highly doubt due to how despicable of a job she has done) do not listen to a word she says. She is a fraud and is only worried about not getting sued. The campus of Sarah Lawrence during the summer is quite awful too. The food, which they force you to pay 25 dollars a day, is awful. Not one element of this program is good and I look forward to the day when people start realizing this and stop going to the Sarah Lawrence summer programs. I give this program 2 thumbs down, a 1 out of 10, and I have pity for all Sarah Lawrence staff, especially: Liz Irmiter Director of Special Programs

| Quite Bright | I LOVE it here!
People tend to complain about the social life here but honestly, its what you make of it. Thats true of ANYWHERE you go to college. I think the hard part is knowing that if you meet someone here and you want to be social you actually have to get to know them (and yourself). In another setting with many parties you may get to meet other people and have a good conversation or two but the chances of you seeing them again or really going further are slim. Its easier to have aquaintences and feel like you have a social network at other schools-- but if you come here you have to be willing to be known. Its a different kind of intamacy. I think thats why alot of people cut themselves off from others and act snooty or standoffish-- fear ("If someone really got to know me they wouldn't like me" kind of thing) And, like ANYWHERE you leave college with your close group of 2-5 friends. Besides, the intellectual growth you'd gain here is invaluable. | Individual Value: A+, Social Life: C | | | |
