If you want to be uplifted by a network of strong career women, PLEASE ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! The alum and professor network is strong and you will get a lot of attention. Everyone will want to help you succeed, and you will end up with a lot of friends even if you're shy. Lots of Scotties go to Ivy League grad schools b/c of its connections. APPLY!!!

I’m so happy every day that I wake up and get to go to school here. It’s not for everyone and if you’re looking for a party life then this isn’t the place but if you want an experience where you learn and grow as a person, ASC is such an amazing place. Never thought I would be excited to go to class but it’s a perfect fit for me.

A beautiful campus and a good location, if you don't want to go to a very small school you will be unhappy but is great for people looking for a small campus community.

I can not emphasize enough how Agnes really is one of those places where you get out of it what you put into it. The alumni network is incredibly strong and offers massive amount of opportunities for current and graduated scotties. The small student body means that all of my advisors and professors have always known me, everyone here has cared.

NO PRIVACY- Students are not informed of, or consent to, endless amounts of people coming through on tours. Some tours have even opened up the bathroom doors while students have been undressed.

I was at Agnes for 7 months. In those months, I met my best friends, the dining hall got a C and then a B sanitation score, and I was disregarded by administration regarding a safety issue. I'm transferring for the fall and will be unable to attend the Journeys trip for first years, something that was a huge motivator in my college decision.
