Review of Salem State University

from Charlton, MA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All of the classes, especially the general education courses, are very informative and thorough. The staff here genuinely wants you to be prepared for the future.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love being a student at Salem State. The professors definitely want to see you succeed, the other students are very kind, and the city is amazing. The dorm staff are very nice, and take good care of the students.

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

Salem State is very affordable, and they offer great financial aid packages for a state school. The classes are informative and thorough. You definitely get your money's worth with the classes here, and they don't charge you more if you take extra classes.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to see the campus and talk to current students and professors. Everyone here is very friendly, and they'll be sure to help you as best they can. Be sure to bring an Ethernet cord if you become a resident student because the wireless internet network in the freshmen dorms occasionally acts up.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Salem State is good for students who prefer a smaller school setting, an urban environment, and an encouraging team of professors. Salem State is definitely not a party school, so if you're into that it's best to head elsewhere.
