Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Art & Design Department  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Not so bright I'm an art history student at F&M and feel that the campus is very diverse and supportive. I received research grants from the art department and got involved in many activities organized by Philps museum. Some of my friends are in pre-med. We study together sometimes and I witness how willing they are to help each other with homework/experiments. I've seen many transfers who come from other schools and told me how amazed they were by F&M. The only one student I know who transferred out of F&M is one who wants to be a professional artist (and thus does not want to study any course by visual art)--she went to a nearby art school. Faculty accessibility and friendness--even no need to talk as we rank NO.1 in this area. It extends to alum, who come back yearly with their networking and recruit regularly on campus. I work at Career Services and have receive many alums who hold high positions in prestigious firms. One last word. It's the student him/herself who makes a difference and that's the characteristic of Fummer--take responsibility to embrace what you are passionate with, and F&M will provide the most resourceful and flexible environment for you to achieve that.

The professors are amazing, and you really get to have a personal relationship with them. This helps you feel more comfortable going to ask them for help or to guide you through different opportunities outside of the classroom. The night life is vivacious and there is almost always something to do Wed-Sun. There is a really nice balance between academics and social, but of course each student is different. The school is about 2100 students, which means that you can recognize a lot of faces, but not every face. You constantly meet new people if you put yourself out there.

The campus looked nice, the tour guide I had was very friendly, and the college had a great reputation for its premedical curriculum. Starting at Franklin and Marshall was a blast - I know now that starting at any college is a lot of fun. For the first two or three months I was having the time of my life; classes weren't too hard, people seemed nice, and there was no construction on campus. While after this initial time at F&M the classes stayed the same caliber, my friends' attitudes began to change. Most of them grew unhappy with Franklin and Marshall; feeling that the college was too small and that their confederates were bitter that they were not attending a truly prestigious institution (rather than one that told the country it was). Before winter break almost all of my friends were talking about how much they despised Franklin and Marshall College and that they wanted to transfer. And by this point I too realized that I agreed with many of my friends' perspectives, as well as adding some of my own complaints. After winter break I began to notice that almost everyone at Franklin and Marshall was pre-med, not only this but most of them seemed to be maliciously competing with each other. The people in my lab would act suspicious of one another and would never answer a question proposed by anyone other than a professor. When I went to my advisor to talk with her about my concerns and desire to transfer she suggested that I get involved in a club. While I had already started my own club on campus I went to see what other organizations existed. And after only a brief glance I found that there were many "overlapping" clubs such as the many African American clubs; I did not believe there should be three clubs, funded by the college, for a group of individuals that numbered no more than ten people total on the entire campus. I therefore pressed my desires to transfer more on my advisor who sent me to the specially appointed transfer dean of Franklin and Marshall College. An individual who when I met him made no attempts to keep me at the institution but rather seemed used to the fact that people wanted to leave the college. This combination of lack of school pride by the students, unreasonable competitiveness, atrocious organization, and lack of care by the faculty made me transfer; one of the best decisions I made in my academic career. I am writing this article now, late as I transfered 3 years ago from Franklin and Marshall College, to help dissuade anyone planning on attending this institution. Maybe in ten years Franklin and Marshall will live up to the name it wants everyone to think it has, but right now it does not, and there is no reason why you should suffer while it sacrifices everything a college experience should include in order to raise its collegiate ranking.
