Tucked away in beautiful, bucolic Massachusetts, Gordon College is a liberal-arts institution that's built on "Christian values without being unnecessarily strict." Here, students receive a "well-rounded education" that encourages them "to make interdisciplinary connections." There's also an appreciated "emphasis on servant leadership through opportunities like the outdoor education requirement." And while there's no denying that "the school is academically rigorous," students note that "there's so much here for support, so it's hard to do poorly in a course." The faculty is described both as "accomplished" and "extremely passionate about the subjects that they teach." and the majority are "very involved and want to know you personally." Students are proud to share their own relationships: "I'm actually friends with my English professor and I've only been in class with him for a semester so far." Another divulges, "I was struggling financially and had professors email me over the summer to help me find a way to get back." This isn't just an "enjoyable [academic] environment" either; there's a sense that "when people leave here, they are prepared to get a job and do well."
