Comments

  • Antioch College is one of the few liberal arts colleges left that teaches students to be critical thinkers and active, caring, members of society. With new fields such as Peace Studies and a co-op program (which allows students four months off of campus every four months for an internship), it is a leader of progressive American higher education. As an alum, I am proud to have graduated from such a school.
  • The size of the square is too big. The college is on the east side of the village. The college isn't all that great (also an alum). It tends to hop on a number of liberal trends and modes, some good, some bad, mostly indifferent.
