    It is a smaller school so the classes tend to be smaller and allow for more student-teacher interaction. There is a lot more free time than high school so I would recommend being involved in several activities which do make the college experience worthwhile. As far as the overall education, Western New England is only what you are willing to put into it. As an engineering student I didn't find the work overwhelming. You just have to be willing to put in the effort. read full review

    The class size at this college is small, which allows you to get to know your professors much better. This can prove to be extremely beneficial if you need extra help in a certain subject. The professors are always at their office hours and eager to help students. Western New England College also offers help in the Writing Center and the Math Center to help maximize each individual student's learning potential. The Western New England College School of Business is accredited internationally by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), which offers exemplary education for any one interested in a business major; Accounting, in my case. read full review
