Haylee - 10/11/2019

Franklin is overall a great college; the academics are above and beyond, and the professors are amazing. However, the campus housing is okay at best and the food is usually subpar. The only huge complaint that I have is that Franklin just spent 4 million dollars on a new science center and fancy new technology for it, but the other departments still have clunky old computers and chalk boards.

Jade - 08/26/2019

I love the smaller College, it makes the classroom have more hands on and I feel like you learn more. I enjoy getting up everyday to learn thanks to Franklin. The professors are always around to answer questions. I enjoy the overall experience with this College.

Noah - 07/22/2019

I enjoy the school quite a bit, there are somethings that I would change but they are very minor things. These things include more tutor opportunities and also available times in which a class is offered. The school and the education in which I am receiving are very well structure and I am very happy with my school of choice.

Cayla - 06/15/2019

Franklin College in Franklin, Indiana is an adequate liberal arts institution that provides students with a plethora of job and academic opportunities. The school is closed-knit and preaches diversity and the meaning of family. Relationships with teachers and various staff are easy to make and are they extremely supportive and motivated to help the students rise to their best potential. Although food and facilities are a bit old-fashioned and unappealing the quality of the staff and students are unbeatable. I am proud to be a GRIZ!
