The restructuring of this college has made this school so much better. The quality of professors is incredible, the food is private school GOOD food with tons of options. The alum-network is unlike any other school I have ever seen.

You will love the people you meet at Sweet Briar College, and you will feel attached to the campus and its amazing atmosphere. I know women who came to Sweet Briar, left (whether they have finished school or under other circumstances), and wanted to come back. Once a Vixen, always a Vixen.

The students and people here are great, but if you're looking for a stellar education this isn't the place for you. Thing have really gone down hill since the closing. The professors and quality of teaching is really not what it used to be. The campus is beautiful, but there is not much to do on the weekend except go to HSC.
