College of Our Lady of the Elms Reviews

"Beware that if you choose this school for your MSW, you will only graduate if you find your own placement. The school does not help at all. Many organizations have affiliations with the universitys in the area and will not accept you as an intern! I found placement with one of the agencies on OLLU's list of affiliations but it fell through the week I was supposed to start because they did not have a valid agreement. OLLU does not update this list. It wasted so much of my time. Now they will not help me and I cannot find placement. They have asked me to re-locate to finish an online program.Read Less"

"Elms College has been very student friendly. The instructors are very approachable and easy to contact outside of the classroom. The responsiveness of the instructors has made the experience great because having that relationship with the instructors when life is hectic is very helpful to make sure that the assignment is being done properly. Elms does a great job in communicating with the students about what is going on on campus as well as providing opportunities for growth and networking."

"This an excellent school where a student can receive a top notch education in a professional environment."

"My graduate program is a fantastic option for those looking to enter the world of medicine. All levels of experience with natural science/health coursework and labwork are accommodated! The College of Our Lady of the Elms (Elms College) is a smaller campus with all of the positive trappings of a larger institution (school pride, sports teams, extracurricular groups, weekend events, etc.). Opposite of their more imposing counterparts, however, teachers are able to truly invest time into their students and help students really understand the material. Many hold weekly review sessions and will schedule meetings with students if more clarification is needed. There is also a tutoring center available for students' use. Elms College is located in Chicopee, Massachusetts, a comfortable suburban town only a few hous' drive from major cities like Boston and New York City. The only minor issue I have had with choosing this school for my graduate program is that it can be somewhat difficult to find other post-baccalaureate students to study with, due to the small amount of students enrolled in the program. Fellow students are often friendly and willing to study with you for upcoming exams.Read Less"
