Providence College
“I was a Political Science major and HistoryQuite BrightPolitical Science
I was a Political Science major and History minor. The professors in these departments were wonderful and very accessible, especially PoliSci. Also, I was in the Honors program, which meant that my workload was slightly harder compared to other students. The only class at PC that is larger than 30 students is non-Honors Development of Western Civilization. All of the classes are taught by faculty members, not graduate students.
Intramural sports are very competitive; everyone is vying for a the coveted Championship T-shirt. Go to as many hockey and basketball games as possible--they are intense and a lot of fun, especially basketball.
I highly recommend taking a tour of the school before deciding whether or not to attend, as well as attending some classes during a day visit.Once you are a student, expect to drink heavily on the weekends (and Tuesdays/Thursdays). Let off some of stress from the week.

“Providence has an excellent curriculum and excellent faculty.Quite BrightPolitical Science
Providence has an excellent curriculum and excellent faculty. You definitely get your money's worth with this education.
Clubs are ok, there are some pretty poorly planned ones. Athletics, especially PC HOCKEY are excellent!
My only complaint. Students can be drunk, rude, unhelpful, mean, loud, and obnoxius. They are not pleasant most of the time, outside your floor. Some are idiots at best, and are huge jerks.It is worth it though.

“All I can say is if you're intoBrightUndecided
All I can say is if you're into the hard liquor this is a perfect match for you. Most kids just care about the parties...to the point where kids from other colleges continually show up here for the parties. I'm out of here at the end of this year...I need to concentrate more on my studies cause that's what I'm spening nearly $50,000 for..not worth it!
