Review of Salem College

from Pilot Mountain, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Salem has a great atmosphere with an intimate learning environment. Classes are small making it easy to form good relationships with professors who actually care! The professors are willing to go far and beyond to make sure you succeed.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Work ahead! The syllabuses are the key to keeping up with work.

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

Taking the max load is super tough while working two jobs, but is doable. Definitely worth it.

The refectory and cellar are great places to eat and socialize.

Pretty expensive, but Salem tends to give out a LOT of Scholarships to those who are willing to work.
