Review of Assumption University

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

We are required to take classes in a variety of subjects so there are great opportunities to learn about things that you might not have considered before. My professors have done a great job with making sure that the students understand the material. Professors often have convenient office hours if you need extra help.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus has a beautiful suburban feel, but its also right in the middle of the city. There are various clubs, sports, and other activities for everyone to enjoy. Campus events are always fun; we often have concerts and comedians.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

There are many opportunities offered that people probably wouldn't get to experience if they weren't in college, like musical performances and guest speakers. The great thing about it is that mostly everything is free. Some examples are career services, the gym, and intramurals. Some bad things are that the Internet is not that great and my dorm is pretty old and in need of repairs.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Keep yourself organized early. Keep track of your awards, activities, leadership positions, volunteer work, etc. Taking AP classes is a great way to get ahead in college. Make sure your admissions essay truly comes from the heart. Most importantly, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Assumption is right for every type of student. Most people here are very nice, and are serious about getting a great education, but that doesn't mean that we don't know how to have fun.
