Franklin and Marshall College: Off the Record (College Prowler)

Introduction from the Author

A school search is typically a source of anxiety, as the eager high-school student tries to reconcile both a dizzying amount of statistics and the unquantifiable feelings each campus triggers. I remember a particular trip I took with my six schools in seven days! I loved three of them, liked two, and categorically refused to set foot on the sixth after only a glance. Who knows why some campuses strike us the way they do? It is my hope that this guide will inform you as you try to make your choice. Although campus visits are wonderful, they’re only a day or two, so it is impossible to really get at the heart of a school.

The essence of Franklin & Marshall College is that its students care about their studies, but more importantly, they care about the citizens that they will become. Caring, involved, and enthusiastic, F&M students spend their four years in Lancaster, on that 170-acre piece of paradise in the middle of a city, learning how to teach themselves, once they graduate, by the example set by their professors. The students are valued members of a community, prized for their knowledge and hard work, and they’re given almost infinite scope for their drive, enthusiasm, and determination to succeed. But their ambition doesn’t have the hypercompetitive drive of an MIT or University of Chicago. Instead, F&M students come to themselves amidst a welcoming, vibrant community of peers, both fellow students and faculty. Students do research, both original and as contributors to larger studies, perform experiments, put on shows, and learn to think, write, and create.!

It is my hope that you, in your college search, will come to admire and love F&M as much as I do now. I want to be honest as you learn about F&M—no school is perfect, and Franklin & Marshall is no exception to the rule. F&M students do complain, but we do so perfectly content in the knowledge that our concerns will be heard, recognized, and addressed. Our president’s door is never closed to us, administrators know hundreds of us by name and most of us by face, and of course, e-mail is 24/7. Everyone, from the greenest first-year to the most blasé senior, makes a difference in the quality of life at F&M.
