Review of Framingham State University

from Methuen, MA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors are definitely one of my favorite parts of the university. They are amazing and genuinely dedicated to teaching you something and helping you get the grade you deserve. There are tons of tutors available for free just about anytime of the day and evening. There is no reason for not succeeding academically at FSU if you are a dedicated hardworking student.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The school is small and it is easier to make connections with professors and students for the most part but because of it's small size there are also many cliques. If you did not form your clique at the beginning of the year it isn't so easy to find your place half way through. The campus is also pretty dull much of the time. There re plenty of clubs and student activities but there is not much to do once the weekend comes.

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

From every college I applied to during my senior year of high school FSU was the most affordable. For MA residents it is no more than $15,000 per year. I have a single dorm and my full tuition is still a bit below $15000.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. Be sure to make friends at the beginning of year first year 2. Get involved!!!! 3. Utilize all of the academic help resources and the amazing library 4. Connect with your professors 5. Get into the swing of college life for a good month or two before seeking a part time job. Starting college can be overwhelming and trying to get the hang of it while working can be very stressful. 6. There are cheaper means of getting your books and supplies than the school store. Seek them!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The only department I know enough about it the fashion design and retailing mayor. At FSU you learn not only the design and construction aspect of fashion, but also the business side of it.
