AMAZING SCHOOL! The professors care so much and want you to do well in their classes. Theres such a great and welcoming community here. Not huge, but its nice because you get to know people quicker!! Nursing program is incredible! Definitely one of the best private colleges in Rochester!

The staff and faculty are committed to students' success. Just need to be assertive if you need extra help.

It has a great community of students and staff.
Overall 4.1
Above-average food as colleges go (but that's not saying too much), 20 minutes away from anything you want, while still appearing as if you're in the country, and the students and faculty are all so kind! Love Roberts!
Overall 4
It's a comfortable, caring school, especially within the music department. Many professors care about their students and are willing to help them do their best. Be ready to work hard, and you will do well. Also, Meg at Garlock is the best!

Roberts is a more personal experience in college than you will get at a state school. Well worth the money. I made friendships that have lasted years.

The amount you pay for this college is unbelievable. the people there are so close minded and don't preach what they say. if you are an outsider just know you will be exiled if you don't have the same views as them . the teachers treat you like a incapable child and are rude as hell. I would say find a better school. I wish i never went to there

1/10. Almost every person you meet on this campus is incompetent. This school prides themselves on the "community" atmosphere, but in reality there is no community at all. The school is very cliquey so if you are transferring or are new; expect to have no real friends. It is like high school but in a bigger building.
Overall 1.6
Would not recommend this school and especially would not attend this school as a music major the department is terrible. The school in general is falling apart, professors are lazy, unorganized and often cancel classes. Many classes are a joke and a waste of time.
Overall 1.6
Roberts is not a friendly school for minority or non-traditional students. I've had a handful of incredibly disorganized and unprofessional professors in the past. If I had it to do over again I would not spend my money at RWC.

They don't practice what they preach
Overall 1.7
I currently go here and wish I transferred before it was too late since I have too many credits. Nothing to do around campus, no social life, very few professors that know what they're doing... I could go on and on. I've had about two good professors. This place is falling apart. Graduation cannot come soon enough! Roberts is not worth your money.
Overall 1.7
super strict school.... for example-- different dorm buildings for guys and girls and only certain hours guys can be in the girls dorm............
Overall 1.8
Poor education quality. Couldn't agree more... they don't practice what they preach!
Overall 1.9
The school lacks resources and opportunities for students. Some buildings are very outdated specifically the music building. Many professors are unreliable and cancel classes often. I would not recommend the music department. The piano lab does not work properly and there is a lack of funding and funds in this department.
Overall 1.9
There are very few majors here worth coming for. Unless you are a nursing major or education major, there is nothing of your value here. There aren't resources for your studies, and all the facilities are outdated. The food is terrible, and the internet is slow. The dorms are old and outdated, just like the rest of the school. Avoid this school.
