adrianna shays Student at This School - Grad Year 2015
Overall RatingThe school is under construction, it is difficult to get anywhere. PARKING IS TERRIBLE. Academics are okay, no memorable experiences. Tips for prospective students- only go here for the film program. NOTHING ELSE
Harriet Klayman Former Student - Last Attended 2011
Overall RatingI think the school has very good academics and the professors are great. Things to do in Fitchburg are limited! Not a great area safety wise. I wouldn't feel safe walking after dark, especially alone.
