“When I was making my college choice, I fell in love with the small size of Franklin College. I knew it would give me the opportunity to have my voice heard and receive all the things I wanted education-wise. Franklin College has prepared me for life outside of college because I have input on who I can be here. Whether it’s a leader in athletics, a voice in the classroom or a role in Greek life, I feel like I can make a good reputation for myself and become a better person because of it.” - Victoria Simmons '23
