Ferrum College really butters you up and as soon as you give them your tuition money it all goes downward from there. You are put in really terrible dorms (even upperclassmen) and the RA's can be very mean. Lots of people don't follow the rules either. I feel more like an inmate than a student. There is no sense of being welcome and some of the people they hire I feel like they have no idea what they are doing. The college has many opportunities but they are very low end and the students are pretty much required to pay for most of the things. Few food options and terrible service. Even in the cafeteria sometimes the people working behind the food have to give you a certain amount and that's all you are aloud to get. People are loud and get away with it, the cost of living is way over what it should be and the bathrooms are never clean. Trash is in a lot of dormitories along with vomit at times. This college is just out for money and will get every last penny out of you. They change things in your graduation plan so you have to stay an extra semester than you wanted to (in my experience and with friends). Terrible HVAC and buildings are very dirty.

This college is a great college for learning. The professors care about you and want you too succeed. The campus is beautiful and great for anyone who likes the outdoors. The downside to the school is that the fraternitys suck and think they are great. You see the same people everyday. And way too many stuck up snobby nova kids there. I have been at the school for a year and a half and more than likely will graduate from there. I love the teachers and the school itself but when it comes to the social life and the surrounding town it sucks. But I must say the time I have spent there I have enjoyed.

ferrum college was alright. Not much of a place to socialize. If the college wasn't there, you could drive through ferrum, blink an eye, and realized you gone trough a town. Students and faculty knew everybody else's business. Went there before people had cell phones. Had land lines. People at the switchboard would listen in on private phone calls. Ferrum, a place where you can't sneeze without everyone knowing it. While attending ferrum, had a one night stand with a girl. Two guys found out about it. Told a proffesor. If you are from northern va. You are considered a yankee to them. Even though most of the taxes sent to richmond are from northern, va. Many people down there are from small towns. Who don't like us city folk.
