If you do not know anyone and do not intend on playing a sport it is very difficult to be accepted. It is a very cliquey school. Also, if you do not intend on going home on weekends, you will be very bored. Academically, Ferrum is very good to help get your grades up if you did not do very great in high school. We also have a high percentage of older students and enliste students so it is good for people who took a break from school. If you want the whole college experience (parties, social life) Ferrum isn't for you. Faculty Accessibility: A-, Surrounding City: F Have a Question?

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.

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.
