Another chapter has closed on Amherst Street, but the futures of those moving on are just beginning. Nichols could not be prouder of our 101 graduates in the Class of 2025 or more excited for what’s in store for the rest of their educational and professional careers. From Day 1 as new students to taking their final steps across the stage in front of Albright Hall this weekend, this class has written its own story: one of resilience, determination, and unity. 

As the Class of 2025 heads off to 66 different colleges and universities around the country, take a look at some of the highlights below. To view the class acceptance list, please click here.

The Class of 2025 'Decision Day' video is linked at the end of the story. Hear from Nichols seniors about their experience on campus, why they're prepared for college and see all the fun they had on their final day of class this spring!

Vikings graduates are heading off to prestigious institutions such as Cornell, Columbia, Northwestern, Georgetown, Michigan, and USC. 

Some of the premier liberal arts destinations like Williams, Harvey Mudd, Vassar, Barnard, Davidson, Hamilton, and Smith colleges will all have Viking representation. 

Ready for the stage? Hello to the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester! Or let’s head to outer space at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. There are no limitations on what our students will do.

A whopping 20 intended schools of matriculation are scattered across the Empire State. Four are members of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, including half a dozen students remaining in the Queen City at SUNY Buffalo. From Fordham University in the Bronx to Skidmore College in the Adirondacks and D’Youville University in Western New York and more than a dozen places in between, New York is far and away the most common state represented in the Class of 2025’s future academic campuses. 

From the University of California-Davis on the West Coast to Boston College in the East, more than 3,000 miles separate the new homes of our graduating Vikings. Nichols travels all across the country!

Sixteen graduating students will go on to play NCAA athletics or junior hockey, including seven committed to Division I programs across soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, crew, and baseball. Your Nichols family will continue to be your biggest fans - good luck to our athletes! 

As the Class of 2025 sets off in their many directions, they bring with them more than just diplomas. They have a full toolkit, are ready to speak their minds, expand their horizons, continue to be leaders in their communities, and represent Nichols to the best of their abilities. Congratulations, Class of 2025. The world will be a better place because of the impact you make.
