Fisher College is a small private campus with excellent professors who have different connections to help their students achieve and build success for their future career paths. I major in criminal justice and I loved that I experienced with diverse faculty with a wide range of opportunities and learning experiences for others to engage.

Rose Mary - 05/24/2018

Fisher has offered me an opportunity to return to school to achieve my degree. Classes are offered online, on campus or a combination of both, which allows me to work around my current schedule. Educational staff is knowledgeable and ready to assist with any needs that may arise. I am more than pleased that I chose Fisher College to complete my coursework.

Rachel - 01/25/2018

I love it. The blackboard application that we use to submit our assignments is very productively laid out. It is easy to use and assignments are well planned out and elaborated on. The grading is done fairly and rather quickly. The professors are readily available if you have any questions.

Aaliyah - 08/09/2017

Fisher College is a good school though it possesses pros and cons as do many schools. If you're a student that is looking for a smaller amount of students including class sizes then this would be a good school for you. Fisher College is located in Back Bay Boston and is surrounded by many stores as well as fun things to do all year long.

    The most frustrating thing about school is the cost of the books.A lot of students want to learn but when we don't have the moneyy to afford these books it is really difficult to get ahead where we want to be. The worst thing is struggling more to get an A plus than someone who has all the resources and breaking your back to get there while they just never show up to class having the resources and wasting their education.It breaks my heart to see students my age waste away their education.
