I am very happy with Assumption College. It is a friendly environment where I am viewed as an individual. I am extremely impressed with my professors and am learning a great deal!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Embrace the idea of general education requirements! You will learn interesting things and become a more well rounded person. If you keep an open mind you might find a new passion. If you find something out side of your major you like, minor in it! It will make your experience more exciting and you will stand out on a job application.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am challenged by my courses and pushed to new limits. It makes me a stronger student.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There is a decent amount of choice in terms of what type of dorm room you live select. I am happy with my residence hall.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The company that provides meal services on campus is very open to student suggestions. I appreciate that they care about what the student body has to say and will actually modify things to accommodate the students!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is so much to do on campus! Every weekend there are events that are put on by various clubs and organizations. There are singers, comedians, dances, interactive game shows, bingo, and many other student run events! There are buses to take people off campus.

It is a gate campus. There is a cop at the entrance to the college 24/7. The campus is well lit. I am never scared to walk alone at night. Campus police are friendly and helpful.
