I have absolutely fallen in love with Russell Sage College. One of the most accepting and diverse environments I've encountered. The small school setting is so beneficial. All the professors know your name and want to help you succeed. Super friendly environment, anyone you pass would be willing to help you or at least direct you to someone who can

Loved my time at RSC

I was skeptical of Russell Sage before moving in. When I got here I quickly realized my worries were very wrong. Sage is a very welcoming community with students, faculty, and professors who care about each other. The food is great, the dorms, and the campus size makes learning personal. I would 100% recommend this school to anyone.

I have been in the graduate program for PT for almost 3 years now and felt like I have learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. My Clinical’s are coming up next semester and I feel I’ve learned more from YouTube video. This school cares about $, not you. Your better going to a different college for PT than flushing 80k down the toilet on this trash heep.

Russell Sage is a waste of money. Nursing department is full of professors unwilling to help, who will tell you they do not have time to help you and instead sit at coffee shops and talk crap about their students not succeeding. You are better off at a 2 year nursing program. Save your time & money and go to a different college.

At this school expect very little. You have to fight to learn any information about student aid and really any information you may need to know. I received zero guidance and was told to look online through my teaching certification process. Staff are often unhelpful and unwilling to help. Do not go here.

I came here to get a good education, and that's about all that's good here. Don't expect fun, good food, or social gatherings because you won't find it here. If your not looking for a good education or reputation, then just don't come here. Its not for everyone.
Overall 1.9
Their student body doesn’t mean anything to them, this school is money hungry. It seem like a good portion of staff who are professors or advisors don’t even care at all. This is sadly true because I have had professors degrade the school in a lecture. School has no management skills and money wise are totally broke. GO SOMEONE ELSE.

The school doesn’t give on **** about you. They are there to protect the school and its reputation not you.

This school is horrible. All about money, not the students. The faculty does not care, and the school is fully aware of every issue that students have had, but chooses to sit back and do nothing about it. Waste of money, go somewhere cheaper with competent people in charge.
