Student Perspective
Kelsey Fallis, a junior from Frenchtown, Montana, decided to attend Carroll after comparing a couple other small, private schools. Carroll’s financial aid staff works to ensure that students are making the most of their financial aid. By getting to know the students as individuals rather than just another ID number, the staff makes students feel welcome, and they love to help students.
“Carroll’s financial aid really just couldn’t be beaten. With scholarships, grants, and work-study offers, it really was the best financial choice.”
Kelsey is an English literature and writing major with an international relations minor. The small class sizes allow students and professors to interact and get to know every person personally. When designing her class schedule every semester, Kelsey enjoys picking from a wide range of electives.
“I love the fact that at Carroll, you are integrated into the community. Walking through campus you know just about every face you see, and it’s a very comfortable atmosphere to live and learn in.”
