Would not trade this place for the world. I disagree with only coming here for sports, it is a highly athletic school but there are SO many opportunities and is a very loving familycommunity.

This college is just the best. The people are what makes SC so magical. The programs, facilities, gyms, and campus are amazing. The food is okay, but you can't expect 5 star food which is what alot of people do. There are some kids who are spoiled and take things for granted, but food and dorms aren't horrible. I love it here and highly recommend.

Springfield College is truly a home away from home. Sports are big here but you dont need to be an athlete to fit in and be happy. Students are proud to go to Springfield, proud of the schools mission, and overall morale is usually pretty high here. Health professions programs (PT, OT, PA, sports bio) have exceptional reputations.

Super sporty, active student body & faculty. Roughly 1/3 of our entire student body is a D3 varsity student athlete, and school sporting events are well-attended. Exceptional school for health sciences, sport management, and education. Food is pretty good for the most part. Location is a little sketchy BUT campus safety is great. GO PRIDE!

So many things to get involved in on this campus! Between sports teams and student activities there is plenty to do in this community. This school made me feel at home despite the surroundings being somewhat rough. I had the time of my life and miss it always.

I have never seen such a disorganized and awful AT (Athletic Training) program in all of the nation.

From West coast no one knows this college even exists. On the east coast, I didnt even know it existed. Dont know why the reputation is rated so high here. Its the smallest college known to man, and the people there are not nice at all.

NEVER GO HERE
Overall 1
A school that is not keen for athletes. If you arent an athlete, your attention as a student nearly diminishes. I finished my degree here and in the most honest opinion, I would never go back. Im sorry.

Springfield College is the least fun place on earth, no parties what so ever, and its where the men are men and the women are to.
Overall 1.7
it is definately not a school for girls the area is very bad with shootings and theft on campus. the school is predominately boys and girls dont have a say. the administrators like to present a rosy picture of campus life but not all is wonderful. security is horrible when breakins occur and computers in labs are stolen. scholarship not worth
