学生评价
- The education is outstanding, but a lot of the times it can get really challenging and frustrating when you can't seem to keep up.
- Some of the teachers are past the point of retirement, and the workload is sometimes unreasonable. The turnover is slow. Despite all that, though, the education itself is excellent.
- Religious Liberal Arts – Since Principia College is a Liberal Arts College, it offers specific majors and does not offer some majors that other colleges might. The professors are all very interested in the subjects that they teach and really do work extremely hard to make it the best experience they can for their students. The campus is small, so it is an easy commute from class to class or dorm to class. It is easy to register and academic advisors make it much easier to make sure your schedule will be possible for you to follow without getting too deep in class work and commitments. It is possible to create a special major, but there is a process, and those who choose to do so are students who really care about that major topic. Popular areas of study are mass communications, math, business adminadministration, education and biology.
- Amazing Abroads! The abroads are amazing and they go all over the world. They are affordable since they use your regular tuition to pay for the abroad (including classes, meals, board, and whatever traveling the group does while there), and they are wonderfully in-depth and all of them (while geared more towards a certain major) are open to all majors.*(5)
