Review of Assumption University

from West Haven, CT

Describe your college in three sentences.

Assumption College is a small community filled with an exquisite faculty and hard-working students who are striving to prepare themselves for the future. The college is full of many activities that students enjoy taking part in which brings the college together. Assumption College is a terrific school because it is a place that every student could call their home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The great thing about the size of Assumption College is that all of the main buildings are very close to ine another. With that being said, take advantage of going to the library to complete your studies. Also, venture to the dining hall in your free time so you are able to meet new people and have a great meal on top of it.

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

At Assumption College, teachers truly admire when students put much effort into their school work. They encourage students to email them, go to their office hours, and even go to the Academic Support Center with any academic help that they may need. If a student chooses to do these things, their academic experience at Assumption College will become more of a smooth task.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

It is common to feel nervous when living in a dorm because you have to share a small space with 1-3 other people. But when a person finds out who their roommate(s) are, they should contact them immediately and start talking to them, along with meeting people who live in their hall. I have made many incredible friends in my dorm and we were all able to connect even more through our Hall Council organization.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Taylor Dining Hall and Charlies are the main locations on campus where students are able to eat. They are both small which allows students to intermingle and meet new faces. The food is great and the great part about these places are that there are endless options of food being served daily. Also, both locations offer student employment which is very beneficial to students with a work study. As a student employed at Taylor Dining Hall, I am able to surround myself with great workers and such a warm atmosphere of students all of the time.

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

Although Assumption College is a small school, there is so much that students can do during their free time. For example, Plourde Recreation Center offers tons of intramural sports that students can take part in. From ultimate frisbee to ice hockey, there a sport for everyone and everyone seems to really enjoy themselves. The recreation center also offers zumba, yoga, spinning, and more for a very low cost which many students enjoy taking part in. If sports is not your thing, you can take part in the Student Government Association, the Campus Activities Board, START, SEARCH, SEND, the Reach Out Center, and more!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Since ssumption College is a Catholic college, there are many activities that students can take part in which involve the use of the church and also in order to benefit the community. This is where SEARCH, SEND, and START come into place. These clubs are basically groups of students that travel to different states and take part in activities which may benefit the community as a whole such as building houses or visiting students from other schools. If that does not interest you, don't worry because this college also offers many types of intramural sports, and other organizations involving the student government and organizations which students are able to plan activities on campus. There is also a group called RHA, or the resident Hall Association, in which students can come together and try to improve their dorms or just come up with great activities that each dorm can take part in.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus Safety is exceptionally important at Assumption College. There is a building designated for the Campus Police and they are always looking out for the students. They are there for when you want a guest from another school to stay overnight, in which you must sign a slip and bring it to the campus police. There is also a number that you can call for any emergency on campus. There are also these large posts around campus with a blue light and a button and if you are ever in danger, you press that button and someone will be right there to help you immediately.
