One Student Review of Franklin Pierce College

  • A review of Franklin Pierce College….well, there’s so much to say, I’m not sure where to begin. Right off the bat: if considering this place, go somewhere else. It will not be worth your money or time, the end. The basics are this: it’s small and in the middle of nowhere. The winters are rough and there’s nothing to do but drink. The students and faculty, with perhaps two dozen honorable exceptions, are really stupid. Have you ever seen one of those polls that claims that US college students can’t find such-and-such place on a map or have an 8th grade reading level? That’s us all the way. Some people here seriously struggle with reading beyond a high school level, a situation only exacerbated by professors as stupid as they are (Note to “Professor” Mary Beth Fallia – Gary Paulsen is for children. I like “Hatchet” as much as the next guy, but this is supposed to be a college). You don’t even need to have taken the SATs to be accepted here, and many of the students who did take the SATs boast of scores in the 800-900 range (that’s by the old SAT scoring system). They will take anyone as long as they pay. Kids here are dumb as f**k, no way around it. The faculty and administration (again, there are exceptions and they know who they are, take only the appropriate measure of offense at this review, please…) are no better.
    The administration in particular is laughable in their complete lack of imagination and their transparent corporate prostitution. Except, on that note, there are no respectable corporations who want to give FPC money, so they end up taking it from whoever. A note about the name “FPC” – it recently changed to “FPU(niversity)” an irritating development that is accompanied by only cosmetic change – changing all the signs, repaving the main road, the construction of a new, ugly building where a beautiful old classic New England colonial used to be, before it’s untimely razing. As for the dubious university title, “FPU” offers only a BS and a BA, some qualifier laden MBA titles, no doctorate degrees (they say they offer doctorates in the form of physical therapy and a “Doctor of Arts” degree) and their “Graduate” programs, located in office parks around New Hampshire, are simply glorified adult ed classes along the lines of ITT Tech, University of Phoenix or the DeVry Institute. These places cater to the obese, toothless drunks of the Granite State that want to learn how to use Excel so they can get a job as a receptionist somewhere. The main undergrad campus is in Rindge, occupying a beautiful location on a pond, with views of Mount Monadnock, and unfortunately besieged by notorious town-gown hostility. The current president, George Hagerty, is legally blind, and I wouldn’t bring up the man’s unfortunate medical condition if it wasn’t such a perfect metaphor for how he runs the place…oblivious to the widespread misery and discontent, never around, always off trying to wring a few bucks out of some poor schmuck…
    So the classes are, generally speaking, garbage. Insipid, boring, complete wastes of time and in a few cases (again, you know who you are) talent. Those reasonably competent and literate individuals who end up here will form their own little cliques and somehow manage to educate themselves.
    Socially speaking – lots of beer pong and parties broken up early by the overzealous campus and town police, a ragtag group of weak, power hungry hicks taking out their aggression for their failures on whatever drunk is within reach. They seem to have a rabid fear of fun and imagination, and have repeatedly demonstrated a failure to understand the basic laws of police procedure, instead acting as a group of armed morality squad goons. FPC social life is drinking and drugs, basically. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
    This could go on and on – so I’ll say this: avoid this place.

    Overall Score: (1.81/5.00)
