I hope to become a certified public accountant. I enrolled in Elms College knowing I’d get the best education to find success in my career. The reason I chose Elms is because of the accounting program. I loved the idea of a small school, having small classes, and being able to connect with teachers to have the most impact on my education. I’m also a student-athlete (baseball) and I have been very successful on and off the field.

I love the small-knit community that we have here. Elms exceeded my expectations. All the friends and connections you make here are for a lifetime. The faculty and staff are so nice and helpful. Teachers and students in smaller classes help create connections and you get the best education possible. I am getting what I wanted out of my degree. I’ve already had two internships and am looking to get another one soon. The experience and knowledge you get out of Elms College is just like no other school.

I have no regrets about coming to Elms College.

If you want a big school, Elms is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a small, tight community with great connections and the best track to find success, then Elms College is a place I would recommend.
