Five Reasons to Attend Meredith

In today’s blog, we’re sharing five reasons a Meredith education is unique. Whether you’re just starting your college search or you’ve recently committed to Meredith, read how Meredith will help you Go Strong.

Experiential Learning

A strong college education will support your success in the classroom and beyond. At Meredith, 22% more students participate in internships or field experiences, 14% more study abroad, and 23% more conduct research with faculty than the average college student. That means you’ll gain real-world experiences and develop the skills you need to be career-ready after graduation.

Financial Aid

We believe a strong education should be accessible to all women. We are committed to providing financial support so all strong women can access a life-changing education.

That’s why over 95% of our students receive financial assistance – last year, the average amount of financial aid awarded to first-year students was $39,597.

Ideal Location 

Because of its rapid growth and proximity to several institutions of higher learning, Raleigh has a large concentration of start-ups, high-tech companies, and enterprises. There are plenty of opportunities for internships and jobs, and many of our faculty have strong connections with these organizations to help you make connections. 

Small Class Sizes

You can rest assured knowing you’ll be more than just a number at Meredith. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1 and an average class size of 14 students, you’ll have more opportunities to ask questions in class and build relationships with your professors and classmates. These relationships can help you reach your goals and make for a positive college experience.
