Academics

Great variety of classes offered in many levels. Class buildings are all in great shape with up to date materials.

Depending on the courses you take, it isn't too bad. Some majors require more work outside of class than others, such as art majors, but it's doable. The classes themselves have different levels of difficulty. If you're taking an honors class its going to be a lot more difficult than a regular class.

Classes are what you make of them. There will be some easy courses, some difficult ones, obviously. The Honors Program is available with harder courses if you're worried they'll be too easy.

I am still researching myself

As a freshman my first month at Keene, I find the classes challenging yet not overwhelming.
I really liberal arts studies more than I thought, my English Gen Ed class, The ecology of food; Hmmmm, Everything I never wanted to know about tomatoes!
Seriously though they spread your Gen Eds over your four years so that you are able to dig right into your major.

The assignments given are rigorous. Whether or not you take them seriously is your own decision. There are a couple stupid intro classes that a monkey could pass and those are the classes with the lazy idiots that only go to college to drink.
