Just like students at Oxford and Cambridge, every student at SLC is paired with a don. An SLC don is a full-time faculty member who mentors you, guides you in the pursuit of your passions, and advises you closely on everything from course planning to career preparation. It’s all part of the deeper education at Sarah Lawrence.

Twice the face time.


Sarah Lawrence students have twice the one-on-one contact with faculty as students at other colleges and universities do. Because every SLC seminar includes individual faculty-student conferences every other week— and more than 90 percent of all our classes are seminars. ›› Average class size: 12 ›› Student-faculty ratio: 9:1 ›› Graduate teaching assistants: 0 ›› 1:1 meetings with faculty per semester: 21 Poet or pre-med, think what deeper interaction can mean for your college experience—and your future.

Sarah Lawrence is a men’s college.


Sarah Lawrence is a men’s college. And a women’s college. And a graduate school with eight MA/MFA programs. In fact, we’re a diverse, dynamic coed community of 1,200 undergraduates and 330 grad students— scholars, writers, scientists, artists, performers, and athletes as intellectually adventurous and personally fascinating as our faculty. And that’s saying something.

Small residential campus or the Big Apple?


Why choose? Sarah Lawrence’s beautifully wooded campus is just 30 minutes from Midtown Manhattan and everything New York offers—museums, galleries, performances, internships, nightlife, restaurants, professional sports events, poetry readings, and other college students. Thousands of them. Result: Depth on campus. Breadth in the city.

Sticker. Shock.


Sarah Lawrence is currently ranked the most expensive college in the country. But what really shocks students and parents is that our average financial aid package is $38,115! Now add to that the fact that SLC students have twice the one-on-one faculty contact as students at other colleges and universities do. What’s an individualized, “handcrafted” education worth? Maybe the phrase should be Sticker Value.

Sarah Lawrence is for writers.


And entrepreneurs, scientists, creatives, and professionals such as: Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago and Former White House Chief of Staff J. J. Abrams, TV and Film Producer and Director Vera Wang, Fashion Designer Clarion Johnson, MD, Global Medical Director of ExxonMobil Julianna Margulies, Television and Film Actress Mark Goodman, Partner, Debevoise & Plimpton Karen Adolph, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, NYU W. Ian Lipkin, MD, Discoverer of the West Nile Virus Brooke Anderson, Chief of Staff and Counselor, National Security Agency The vast majority of our 15,000 alumni don’t write professionally. But they know how to think, communicate, synthesize, innovate, and succeed. And, yes, some—like Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Color Purple—actually write.
