What are considered some of the easier colleges to graduate from?

I'm a little nervous about how I’ll handle the academic rigor in college. Could anyone suggest some colleges generally considered easier to graduate from but still provide a good quality education?

Absolutely! It's important to ensure that the college you choose aligns with your academic ability and comfort level, while also offering a strong education. Though keep in mind that the term "easy" is subjective and may vary from person to person based on their individual strengths, study habits, and chosen field of study. However, there are indeed schools known for having higher graduation rates and supportive learning environments, which might coincide with what you’re looking for.

1. St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY: Known for its caring community and small class sizes, it offers personalized attention to support your academic journey.

2. Western State Colorado University: They have a high rate of success with students who've had moderate academic performance in high school. They offer a wide variety of majors as well.

3. Johnson and Wales University: Known for a focus on practical experience in fields like Business and Culinary Arts.

4. Goshen College in Indiana: A liberal arts college known for its nurturing and supportive environment.

5. Shepherd University in West Virginia: They have multiple student services to assist students in their academic progression.

Remember, the better that a college fits with your individual learning style and academic preferences, the more likely you will be to thrive. It's not uncommon for students to perform significantly better in college than they did in high school because they are studying subjects that truly interest them. So, in addition to considering 'ease of graduation', look at the courses offered, teaching methods, and campus resources. Be sure to visit the campus if you can, and speak to current students and faculty, to best assess your potential fit.
