Regarding academics, The Princeton Review said: “Affordable Keene State College is a liberal arts school with a strong pre-professional bent located in a ‘classic New England’ town. While this school is ‘best known for its teacher education program,’ there’s a host of other majors including architecture as well as unique programs in Holocaust and genocide studies and something called safety studies.”
The Princeton Review included this about Keene State’s campus life: “Keene State has ‘just the right number of people’ and is the perfect size—’right between a large university and a very small school.’ The campus is pretty—’especially in the fall’—and, weather permitting, ‘the quad is always filled with Frisbees and footballs.’ Students tell us that Keene State is ‘a very social institution.’ Sports are reasonably popular. ‘The clubs and organizations are extremely well organized.’”
