Review of Salem College

from Roxboro, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

With a warm and welcoming environment, all students are sure to feel right at home in the Salem community. A strong sense of sisterhood forms inseparable bonds between the girls and an encouraging staff creates opportunities for excellent grades.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Understand that no college is perfect. There will be things you like and things you dislike about Salem. However, keep an open mind and you'll find it very enjoyable.

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

The classes never overload you with work, but each student typically stays busy. Some degree requirements are more rigorous than others and require more dedication and motivation.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most of the dorms are without air conditioning, except for the hallways, but leaving your door open/windows up creates a nice atmosphere in the rooms. Most of the dorm halls have nice, new furnished rooms. Occasionally, there will be a bug or two.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall is BEAUTIFUL, however the meals aren't always too appealing. However, I believe this is just about the same with any college.

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

Located in the heart of Winston-Salem, you can find many fun activities to do on or off campus. Salem typically hosts parties and dances every month for fun, and downtown is always alive with clubs, restaurants, and shops. Salem also hosts a free shuttle to take students to the mall/wal-mart/target when needed.

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

I feel as though I get my full money's worth from my time here at Salem already. Whenever we leave, we all can't wait to get back. We love Salem.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Self-scheduled exams. Walk to Sister O's Grave for the honor code signing.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Women looking for a college with strong sisterhood ties and amazing learning opportunities, both on campus and abroad.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Salem is full of clubs and activities to choose from. Each fall, Salem will host a club fair for new students to sign up and learn about all the clubs Salem offers.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The entire campus is essentially one big sorority.

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

The campus is incredibly safe, thanks to Public Safety. If you ever feel unsafe, even just walking from your car to your dorm room, public safety will come and pick you up and escort you back.
