Jonathan's Review

Review of Assumption University

from Holden, MA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Assumption College provides students with the tools and skills for an independent and bright future. Classes are challenging but not intimidating because professors are always accessible to help. Assumption College is a small but comfortable community striving to make students reach their full potential.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Give Assumption a chance. Students will be able to balance the school work and also have a fulfilling social life. Every student will feel welcome by other students and faculty. Students are guaranteed to belong in a sport or a club that will make them feel welcome.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Academically, Assumption is very thorough. A syllabus at the beginning of each semester is given in every class, explaining what each day will entail. Each teacher teaches with their own styles but also relates to students, so each student has the ability to do well and understand the material.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Monthly meetings are attended by every student initiated by their RA's. The meetings help bring together your fellow students in on your floor. Assumption is not a big campus at all so walking distance to any dorm building is not far.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Sodexo is our food caterers at Assumption College. On almost all special occasions and holidays the Sodexo staff dresses up as well as decorate the dining hall festively. I have made a lot of friends with the Sodexo staff because of my allergy to peanuts but they also understand my concern for the nutritional value in food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Hanging out with other students is big on campus. Over 89% of the students live on campus, so spending time with each other and getting to know each other is an added bonus for students living on campus. I am an employee at our recreation center and enjoy going to the weight room everday where I meet people with the same interests; while sharing lifting tips and giving advice to others.
