From all over the United States. The highest percentage of students are from New England and the Mid Atlantic states; many students carpool together to Antioch. Students have commuted from as far south as Georgia and as far west as California. (Manchester, NH International Airport is the closest airport—1.25 hours from Keene)
Students who enroll in this model are usually employed full-time.
These students are leaders or aspiring to be sustainability leaders. Some are in career or job transitions, while others are entrepreneurs. Many are seeking advancement within their profession and current workplaces.
Some students have partners, spouses, and children.
Many students juggle full personal, professional, and academic lives.
Many students stay in hotels or bed and breakfasts while attending classes, with student rates. In addition, many friends of Antioch rent out bedrooms for weekend students at very affordable rates. In the summer, students can stay in dorms at Keene State College and some choose to camp in the local Wheelock Park campground. Local Accommodations
