Review of Salem College

from Cape Coral, FL

Describe your college in three sentences.

This school has small class sizes which allows you to get to know everyone in your class, and for the teacher to know you. The campus isn't overly large allowing you just enough to get lost if needed, but be easily available, and it doesn't hurt that it's gorgeous with a lot of places within walking distance. The events and traditions the school holds makes it a school of sisters.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a school that you have to see in-person to see if it's a place that you belong.

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

It depends on what you're taking. I'm going to be a double major in biology and chemistry, and I've heard that the teachers are great I just won't have a life with all the work and studying that I'll have to do.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I haven't had any problems, but that's because I like my roommate, and my hall-mates. Not everyone can be as lucky as I am.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The Refectory always has healthy choices, and tries to tailor to the needs of students, such as, by having a Vegan bar, and gluten free food.

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

There are some cool places to go to off-campus, or you could explore around the school seeing as it is historic. There are also a lot of vintage stores with the best buys!

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

They help you in any way possible, and are so personable. Plus, Salem allows you to take classes at Wake Forest so you are definitely benefiting. They also help you get advantages in internships, trips to other countries, and more.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Moravian Lovefeast is the only one I can think of. I went to it, and all the food was so delicious.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Well, you have to be female, and you have to be willing for these people to become your family, because they'll become that eventually. That's why we're called the Salem Sisters.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a lot. I wish I could have done a lot more than what I am apart of, but that would be impossible. It also helps that they allow you to do activities at Wake Forest Uni. which is how I got into marching band.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The school is just one big sorority, and that is to help with everyone being one.

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

They're everywhere, and are actually really friendly. They do their job well, and are super helpful. Funny story is that my roommates friend called them around 2 in the morning to kill a bug and they came.
