Assumption College is located in a nice area. The professors are excellent, and really work on spending time with you. The campus is small, so the student body really gets to know one another during 4 years.
I transfered into Assumption College at the start of my sophomore year. The welcoming enviornment has provided more opportunities than I could imagine. My professors have been helpful and inspiring in pushing me to succeed.
