I chose Chatham for its global perspective, commitment to environmental issues, emphasis on community service, and long history of educating smart, successful women. I think the school is best suited to students whose own ideals are compatible with these.

Chatham provided me the opportunity to study abroad in 3 countries, take classes (in an obscure language) at the University of Pittsburgh for free, attend a national leadership conference, and expand my knowledge base and worldview like never before.

My professors and I built close frienships as well as academic relationships - this is not a place you will fall through the cracks unless you make it so! Class size is very small on average, so you will not struggle to be recognized by professors or have questions answered. I had several upper-level courses with less than 10 students!

Of course, Chatham's not for everyone, including those looking for a large co-ed social scene on campus (but that's available nearby), or people who don't appreciate diversity in its many forms.

It's a great place to be, and you will love your 4 years at Chatham, as long as you do your research and know what to expect.
