“I truly value the professors at Randolph-Macon. Their individualized attention gave me the confidence and ability to clearly communicate ideas to others. I am able to use this on a daily basis to help my clients understand and improve their financial plans. Even after graduating, I continue to receive guidance and support from my professors. Thank you, Randolph-Macon.”
Sixty-two percent of independent college alumni surveyed are four times as likely as public alumni to say they benefited very much from many small classes with fewer than 20 students.

“When I stepped onto Randolph-Macon’s campus, I felt an instant connection with students, faculty and alumni. R-MC fosters a sense of independence and family — a bond that lasts a lifetime. I remain extremely close to dozens of fellow alumni as well as current students who keep me enthusiastic about life at R-MC. Thank you, Randolph-Macon.”
Independent college alumni surveyed are more likely to say their experience often included friendships that developed from classroom experiences (66 percent vs. 53 percent).

“The network of RandolphMacon alumni has played an integral role in my career and professional development. R-MC graduates helped me secure my first job, and my fellow alumni continue to support my advancement. In return, I have helped students prepare for interviews and make introductions to potential employers. Thank you, Randolph-Macon.”
Nearly half of independent college alumni surveyed report participation in college-sponsored internships or other applied learning, more than the alumni of any other type of institution (47 percent vs. 36 percent).
