Adams College: This small, three-building university is located on an 18-acre park-like campus in the Mount Harvey section of the city. This location combines a suburban atmosphere with easy access to the benefits and resources of the metropolitan area.Though a very small school, Adams College provides a wide variety of academic offerings such as: the School of Arts and Sciences, the Abrahms School of Education (once the heart and soul of the school's curriculum), the School of Management and Technology (the newest of the College's offerings), and the School of Social Work.It is important to note that since Adams College has no dorms, all students and faculty live off-campus.  Once upon a time, faculty and administrators did live on campus, but not since the administration dorms burned down in 1923. When the College was established in 1864 as the Adams Normal School, its purpose was to provide teacher preparation to young people. With the dedication of the second building in 1889, the institution began a period of steady growth, evolving first into a teachers' college, the Adams College of Education. In the 1948-49 academic year the College received a substantial anonymous contribution, using these funds to add a third building, and in 1949 was renamed Adams College to reflect its new purpose as a more broad-based institution. With an enrollment predominantly from within the state (mostly students from within the city in fact), the institution while well-known locally, but is hardly known at all outside the city.Adams College has undergone some expansion in recent years at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels. It now serves approximately 1,500 students in its courses and programs.Adams College is one of the oldest private institutions of higher education in the state.  Still in the hands of the family that founded the school, several Adams members sit on the board of trustees.  For a private school, Adams College is very reasonably priced, and is a popular destination for students from the local area who either cannot get into larger state universities, or who are looking for a smaller, more intimate setting.</blockquote>
