Good reviews
Overall 4.1
Professors really care about their students here. Graduated four years ago and I'm still in touch with a handful of them. This is a place to find a mentor. Hard work is rewarded not only with grades but with real interest from the professors. Students are taken seriously and pushed to do their best.

bennington is the perfect campus for the narcissistic artist. the campus is divided by social cliques, the dining hall is a food desert, every class is an intro course, and the administration seems to have no idea how to run a college. the upside is the beautiful campus (if you like living in the middle of nowhere). can't wait to get out of here.
