Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Student

I think Randolph College has a welcoming culture, and it’s easy to connect with both students and professors. The small class sizes made a big difference, it felt like real conversations where I could ask questions. The professors are not only experts in their fields, but they genuinely care about students.

Student

I've really enjoyed my time at Randolph. I enjoyed my professors, and they create really interesting ways to learn material. I also met my best friend in the world there. She's going to be my roommate in the upcoming school year. The food could use some work but that might just be because I'm a picky eater.
