Choosing a college is an important decision, and it can be especially daunting if you've already been through the process once. If you're considering transferring to Champlain College, it may help to know why other students have decided to make the move:

A big difference between Champlain and my previous college is that at Champlain, teachers put more time into you. Professors are much more willing to help you figure out a problem rather than leave you alone to deal with it yourself.
What is different about Champlain in comparison to your previous college/university?
Teachers put more time into you. They are much more willing to help you figure out a problem, rather than leaving you to deal with it alone.
What do you think is unique about Champlain?
[Champlain] is an open school. People are accepting and innovative. Coming from Castleton - which is basically four more years of high school - I really liked the attitude of everyone at this college. People want to be here, they don't have to be here.
How has Champlain prepared you for the professional world?
Champlain teaches teamwork and how to apply skills to classroom environments like Excel in my business classes. It teaches you to be more mindful which is something that most business classes do not teach you.

My last school was very traditional in that the first two years of college were almost all core classes and you didn't jump into your major. Here I went head-first into a plethora of different legal classes.

I chose Champlain because of its small classes, creative majors, and professional connections. It has a creative community with engaged and passionate professors.

[My] return on investment is going to be much higher with a Champlain degree.
