Joe Pierce

Please bring back the arts and theater. Students everywhere deserve these opportunities.

Carlos Lorenzo

Lots of cherished, amazing memories from 1984-85.

Some of the greatest people I have ever met were my professors here at FPU. I have a pretty good résumé thanks to all of the opportunities over the last 4 years, have been able to get job interviews and offers for immediately after graduation and I will be beginning law school in the fall. All of it was possible because of the support and education I received here. I feel well-prepared for a career and graduate studies.

Check carefully when you apply for a loan...You need to start paying for it RIGHT AWAY--they begin the "fee" process the moment you walk in the door to class day 1. The classes were decent...I really liked the online atmostphere. I just wish they would start a psychology degree.

The University is welcoming from the initial application, the interview with admissions to supporting the student and family through college process. Professional faculty and staff who are available to answer questions or help alleviate concerns in person, via phone or email. The focus is on the student and working with them on their potential for success.

Franklin Pierce University has given me a great college experience. I graduated from Franklin Pierce University in 2015 with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and B.A. in Mathematics with in three years. I played in the universities tennis team and worked as a data analyst. The university is extremely helpful in allowing you to do what you want with your education. The university has a list of opportunities for each individual student. They have a long list of clubs including sports and recreation. This club allows students to travel around enjoying the beauties of nature and experiencing a range of physical activities. Currently we received a new president, Andy Card, which has assisted the university in making milestone changes. He has already torn down old buildings and has a goal of creating a new Health Science center. I believe the university can become even better with his leadership. After I graduated from Franklin Pierce University I was given the opportunity to become a Graduate Assistant. As a Graduate Assistant of Web Design I am receiving free tuition to finish a M.B.A. program from Franklin Pierce University. This school has allowed me to have multiple great opportunities.

This review is for the FPU Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Manchester, NH. The faculty is extremely unsupportive and antagonistic towards the students. Additionally, coordination and cooperation between the professors is extremely poor and the curriculum is disjointed and poorly organized. The facilities are lovely and the equipment is excellent overall. Furthermore, I still love my chosen field of study, in spite of the numerous discouraging and unprofessional interactions I have had with the faculty. I would whole heartedly recommend the Physical Therapy profession to future students. However, unless the majority of the faculty was replaced, curriculum improved, and attitude towards the student body greatly improved, I can not imagine circumstances under which I would ever recommend this institution to another student.

For prospective student athletes: the school is a whole sales pitch, don't fall for it, they made it seem like the teachers really cared and so did the coaches but really all they want is your money for their over priced school. I Left the school because It was like mean girls. I wanted to go to college, not continue high school with backstabbing girls who would actually follow team mates around to video them doing something stupid, then sending it to coach's. If you're ready to move on from high school don't go here. As for the living situation, it's awful, many dorms didn't have hot water for an extended period of time. Speaking of the water DO NOT DRINK IT! It comes out yellow most of the time and tastes like you're going to get sick. As for food the best meal of the day is breakfast but then again it's hard to mess up breakfast. Other meals were very redundant with very little variety. The professors are okay you have to really pick and choose the right ones.

I attend this school currently and I absolutely love it. The small class sizes give each and every student much more one-on-one time with his/her professors. I have already learned so much and I have only been here just shy of a year. The community is very welcoming and close-knit due to the size. Someone who is looking for a small school, in a small country-like town, with a beautiful campus, should definitely look into Franklin Pierce University.

My husband and I both went there in the 2000s and then my brother 4 years later. It is a great small university. It has grown since I have graduated for the better! Amenities are amazing! Dorms are good. Bubble needs a solid frame.

Tammy Pedjoe

Thiccccc tuition but the school is nice!

Jason McCormack

It's a special place! Great campus, professors, and administration! The athletic teams are usually in contention nationally. I had a great time there and learn a lot. I recommend it for those that need a small setting where everyone is on a first name basis. Its home!

Kayla Marshall

The school just bragged about a male who they allowed to compete as a woman winning the NCAA championship. He competed as a male until this year. Way to treat your female athletes! Your coach obviously doesn't think the females are good enough.

Had fun, learned alot.

Anthony Jackson

Great place for my daughter...

This school is too expensive for the quality and benefits you receive. Im a freshman here and im transferring in December. If I could leave now I would. Absolutely NOTHING to do around this school. I spend most of my days sleeping and eating. The halls are dirty and have tons of spiders/spider egg sacks all up on the ceiling which they never seem to care to rid off. The bathrooms barely get cleaned. The food is Alright. The washing machines break everyday. Might I remind you again, this school can cost up to 50 grand lol. Its a joke. Do not come here. Its not even fun. My friends are being charged because they did not "comply with an RA" ... so many people I know are being fined and charged for the littlest things. Its absolutely a joke and not worth the money IN ANY WAY.

If you like the out doors, a small town, small classes, opportunity for adventure, and want to work with the environment, this is for you. If you prefer a city, do not go here.

I can't speak to the quality of Education. The school is in a lovely setting with a lake nearby surrounded by very nice Countryside.

Looked at it, back in the early 90's when it was still Franklin Pierce College. However, I didn't end up applying. Campus was beautiful, but too small, and too isolated (for my taste) and I ended up going to college in Amherst, MA which was a better fit for me. Sat in on a couple of classes though, and had an admissions office visit and a campus tour. I thought the school was decent academically, but a poor choice for a creative student (VERY small outdated theater facilities in a former barn, no film or any real writing programs) however I LOVED the glassblowing studio and the natural beauty and location of the campus itself is stunning. Too rural and too isolated for me though. Also difficult to get to urban areas, it was about a 90-minute drive from Boston,

This school is extremely over priced for the quality. I feel as though I am being treated as a high school student. The dorms are not clean as well as the bathrooms. Campus security finds excuses to fine and charge students with little legal grounds. My money is being held that I cannot get back that I am not using. Student athletes are treated with much higher regard and many other students fall through the cracks. Overall I am recommending to every high school student to not consider this school.

The campus security guys are d*cks. Extremely rude. Asked my boyfriend and I for our drivers licenses, asked where our current address is, wrote down our license plate number...we were just visiting a friend, not even 5 minutes in they did this. With no reason. I felt so violated I didn't even stay to see my friend. I won't ever be returning there, and I'm turning all my friends away from it. So glad I don't go to FPU. I'm sure I get a much better education at NHTI (a community college), for way less money!!!

I came here to drop off my daughter for classes. The school arranged for help for incoming students to have assistance getting the bags taken upstairs to the dorms. My daughter really enjoyed her initial visit to the school and the teachers she encountered. I liked the fact that the teachers know the kids who attend the college. I went to the cafeteria to with my daughter to sample the food and it was not bad. I had an opportunity to meet with the college President while at the school meal and was impressed with the possibilities he discussed. My daughter had an issue with roommates in the dorms, but she eventually moved into another location that enjoyed much more. My daughter has enjoyed most of her time in the college with the small classes and felt that she has benefited from the smaller classes. She has taken the opportunity to host other students visiting the school. This school is somewhat expensive and small classes and different from the larger schools.
