I really love Franklin. I saw a lot about the wi-fi going out, but that hasn't been a problem at all this semester, Fall 2023. The food really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. In all honesty, for a small school with only one dining hall- it's nothing to complain about. There are hits and misses, but the food is not bad.

I loved going to school at Franklin, the small school atmosphere really drew me in. The professors were overall great and there was always some event going on, on campus. The food could have been better which is really the only downside!

Liberal arts curriculum presets you the opportunity to grow in areas that wouldn't be available to you at a larger university

This place makes me sick to my stomach

Came here with the promise of the school setting me up for success after graduation. I failed out of my first semester of grad school and now am doing something not pertaining to my major. I should have went to another school.

Unfortunately this place is highly regarded as a back up school as it does not take a lot to get in here. Downtown Franklin is nice and it's close to Indianapolis and Edinburgh. The campus leaves a lot to be desired and weekends are quite dull as a ton of people go home.

The campus is way too small and there is so much gossip from a COLLEGE. It's like being back in high school
Overall 1.7
Franklin College claims to value diversity and multiculturalism, but students and fac/staff are truly ignorant. People at Franklin have no serious desire to learn and multicultural students are used to fill a quota and receive government funding. FC is one decision I'd take back.

Pretty boring place

All profs Ive met here are very smart and helpful. Some programs are better than others tho. Journalism=great, but Art program needs much help. Tuition rises 5% every year and is required to live on campus 3 of your 4 yrs. @ 8K now (& rising) that's a LOT. Research hard before you come. A Liberal Arts degree isnt always valuable dep. on your major.
