Prescott College Top Questions

When I tell people that I go to Prescott College, people usually ask me a lot of questions about it--mainly because most of them have never heard of it. This school really is a diamond in the rough. A small campus nestled in the heart of "Everybody's Hometown"(Prescott, Arizona), Prescott College is warm and inviting to students, faculty, alumni, and visitors alike. Beacause Prescott College stirves to graduate socially and environmentally concious students, we really try to practice what we preach. Instead of erecting new buildings, the school does its best to reclaim old ones--in fact, most of the classrooms, faculty, and administrative offices were once old business offices and houses which were purchased by the college and "recycled" into campus buildings. In the event that a new building is established, the school hires "green-builders" and utilizes sustainable practices to get the job done. Our Crossroads Center and Library are built from natural resources(rammed earth, raw-wood, free-standing dead pines, etc) and recycled building materials(from old buildings). I feel an immense amount of pride to be attending a school that actually practices what its teaching. Prescott College is anything but hypocritical.

Prescott College is a great school to come to if you like the outdoors or have any concern for environmental or social issues. The students here are very involved in the community and there's always a pot luck or fun get together at someone's house. The school is so small that getting to know most of the students over the course of a year isn't hard. There is a lot of flexibility in creating your own degree plan, which requires a lot of self direction on the part of the students. The professors here are very knowledgeable and make great mentors in a small class where students are actually known by name.
