Academics

There's a lot of homework for classes, but so far it's not quite overwhelming. As long as you can manage your time effectively. The classes are very relaxed and all-encompassing, making them an easy learning environment.

Come to Antioch College if you are looking to actually learn something in school and be challenged. This is not a school where you come to waste four years of your life. The classes are incredible and very diverse, especially for the size faculty we have. Every professor that I have had thus far, have been far beyond what I ever expected. The classes are small, which means a lot of class-wide discussion and co-operative learning takes place, which is absolutely wonderful.

In some ways, it is not unlike a typical classroom environment with the usual homework, lectures, and readings, but in other ways, it's far different from the typical colleges with 10,000+ students. With such a small class size, discussions are far more active, open, and genuinely interesting, and learning becomes far more individualized.

The classes here are tough. But they are definitely fair. Academic competitiveness isn't as important as Academic co-operation at Antioch. We all help each other out.

It's pretty rigorous. It may not seem so the first quarter you are here, but over time the difficulties build. I would also say it depends on the classes you take, and how much you are willing to handle. I had chem and bio this quarter, and it was rough. Be prepared for anything the professor will throw at you, even really really short deadlines!

Its not easy.

The academics may be incredibly rigorous depending on the track you take. My classes have been challenging in all the right ways.

Challenging but rewarding.
