Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Keene State College • Keene, NH
Studying Sociology (completion in 2011)
• 8/19/2011
"I had a really good time, and I have a hard time seeing myself having gone anywhere else. Still, my friends who went to other schools had some pretty rad stories."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | Sociology is not really a very valuable major, it seems. I got my job because I have a degree - nobody cared what it was in. So, if you're looking for a low level sales manager position, then yes, go to Keene State, or any party school, and get a degree. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | I think small New England schools benefit from a good reputation in sociology. |
| Program Quality | 5 | My school isn't recognized for much, and not many people have heard of it. However, the education is good and I feel as well educated as most of the people I meet. |
| Instruction | 8 | Professors all have doctoral degrees now, and I knew I'd have to get a job to pay off my student loans. We read a lot as well, which I hear is less and less common in undergraduate programs. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I struggled with papers from time to time, but I always had time to party. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I don't know how much hands on learning there can be for a sociology major. However, it was almost entirely book learning, so I have to give this a rating of 5/10. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 7 | There are summer options, and missing class is not the end of the world. If you miss class you can usually negotiate away any penalty, and that's if anyone even notices. That's the height of flexibility, wouldn't you say? |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | With shared libraries and internet databases, my school seems to have resources that can match any major university. There is also plenty of quiet space in which to study. |
| Social Life | 10 | Parties all the time, good social atmosphere, significant amount of sports. Everyone up here has a good attitude and would love to introduce you to someone else. |
| Placement Services | 1 | I had no job placement. I found my own job. If I was to want help, it would have taken considerable work to receive it. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I'm not really familiar with the alumni network. Perhaps that's because it is not very good. Either way, I made it on my own. |
