 Providence College is committed to maintaining small class sizes and facilities in order to provide its students with a strong liberal arts education and traditional campus life. With fewer than 5,000 undergrads, it is “uncommon for a student to not know or have interacted with the school president, dean of student affairs, dean of undergraduate studies, etc.”The universally small classes lead to “more discussion and less lecture,” and professors “encourage student participation to not only learn concepts but apply them as well.” They are “truly invested in student understanding/success,” “The Catholic Dominican tradition has a strong presence here,” and the majority of the student body “is from New England and proud of it.”The school’s location and the city of Providence offers the perfect balance for living: with “a beautiful, friendly campus as well as a vibrant city life just three minutes away from campus, students get the best of both worlds.” It's the smallest ‘big’ school and the biggest small school,” sums up a student. With Division I athletics (there are also “many opportunities to play through intramurals”) but a small class size, students “can easily say that there is so much to do and so many opportunities that it's easy to get involved and not be bored.” “Club involvement is huge,” and just about everyone is on some type of club or in a student leadership position. |
