Story

The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is a groundbreaking and exciting year long class that transforms middle and high school students into real, confident entrepreneurs. Throughout the class, students develop business ideas, write business plans, conduct market research, pitch their plans to a panel of investors, and actually launch and run their own real, legal, fully formed companies and social movements. Complete with dynamic guest speakers from the local business community and exciting behind-the-scenes trips to local companies, the fun, projects-based YEA! approach empowers students to take charge of their futures in a profound way.

General Information

Founded in 2004 at the University of Rochester with support from the Kauffman Foundation, the Young Entrepreneurs Academy today serves thousands of students in communities across America. In 2011, the United States Chamber of Commerce Foundation became a national sponsor and partner of the Academy to help celebrate the spirit of enterprise among today’s youth and tomorrow’s future leaders.

The Young Entrepreneurs Academy is not only a wonderful tool to teach students about business, but also a great way to build confident leaders with values. An excellent instrument to unify the business and educational communities, YEA! continues to expand across the country to fulfill our mission of teaching more students how to make a job, not just take a job.

Expensive for state school and they will fine you for everything. Campus safety looks through dorm windows and RA’s do rounds all night looking to bust kids. College in debt clearly looking to fine students and unfair code of conduct system.

Ok place depending on what your niche is. To say that it's a party school would be an understatement. I see underaged drunks get busted every night. The dorms are very loud especially on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Depending on which dorm you're in, you may not be able to get much sleep due to loudness. Campus Safety doesn't always do anything about it. I once had to call them 3 times in one night for the same room before they showed up and asked them to stop. 90% of the time if you approach the rooms yourself in ask them NICELY to keep it down then they will do so. The food is excellent. The professors are spectacular people. But the students... not so kind. Walking to the supermarket there are cars full of drunk kids that will fly by and they'll poke their heads out the window and say something really stupid to you. Last night I got one that slowed down and said "I like butt-(insert F-bomb here)ing". So *wise* lol. This is the 4th college I've attended. The community is at first, the most welcoming I've ever seen. There's students of all different backgrounds just like any other college. But take a look at the student staff and you will see that they're all white. I've met blacks and hispanics and asians who applied for student jobs and did not get it despite having unmatched experience and knowledge of the field (I was a reference for one of them because I worked with him). So yes, the student culture is diverse but the professional level, not so diverse. There is a lot of drugs around the campus (as any college). There are parties left and right every night. Most of the students are here to do just that. If your child isn't the party type then they will probably not fit in well here. A lot of sex, a lot of drinking, and a lot of noise in some of the dorms. The Living Learning Commons (LLC) which is where most of the freshman get put into, is the easiest one to study in. I live in Bushnell dorm (one of the most expensive dorms), and it's virtually impossible to focus on homework because it's always too loud. The library is open but not 24/7. If you're like me and work on homework better at night, then you're gonna be working on most if not all of your homework in your dorm. When I first arrived into my dorm (which I paid $4,800 to live in for the semester), it was not very clean. The toilet was moldy, and the shower also had signs of mold in it. When you first come in as a new student, you will be required to take part in an orientation session which lasts 4 days. These go all day long and if you don't attend one event, they temporarily kick you out of college until the first day of classes. This is 4 days of activities and yes, it's fun. But it's also overdone. The first events are usually around 9am and then the last events end at around 5 or 6pm. This gives you less time to get settled into your dorm. I remember I had to miss the first 2 homework assignments for my classes because I was spending my study time trying to put everything away in my dorm and get everything settled in. On the 2nd day of classes, I finally got settled in to make this place more like home for me. If you're child is thinking about attending college, make sure you have a little talk with them about drugs and alcohol abuse and why it's wrong before you send them off into college life. Because I've seen people's once "innocent angels" turn into 18 year old alcoholics who do nothing but brag about getting carried away by an ambulance to the hospital for taking too many shots and that the $500 in fines they paid was "the best $500 they ever spent". You'll hear a lot that it's a huge party school and some say it's a rumor. That's not a rumor. That's a fact. There's so much partying that they should change the eyes in the owl in the logo in a way that makes him look really drunk.

Wish I could give it zero stars. Dr Feres ruined my education. Not only was she the hardest professor I had, but she also will only pass guys that she has sex with in her office. She gave my ex boyfriend adderall. Dr feres teaches more outside of her classroom then inside.

Keene State is a great value. Located on a truly beautiful campus, it offers an abundance of natural beauty. The majority of students are extremely kind and friendly. People here are down to earth and real. I will consider attending Keene State if I decide to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in the future.

I graduated in 2008 with a B.A. Not the best institution in the state. I’ve read some of the recent comments and it appears as though people are still bitterly commenting on the problems many had back when I attended. Parking difficulties, party-school image/ environment, and poor professor-student relationships. Step up your game Keene State.
