Although I am currently involved in mainly General Education courses (as most freshman are) the classes have been very fun and informative so far. The teachers (although can sometimes seem a bit crazy) truly care about what they are teaching and want others to come to care about it as well. Yes, the classes are much harder than those in high school, and I'm not going to lie to you, it is a ton more work. However the end results are fantastic.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It is very easy to find your place on campus. The very first week that you're here there is an activities fair that literally every club and organization on campus has a booth at. In fact that is how I got involved with the club that I am with now. The members of this club have since become a sort of family away from my family.
When you go on school tours and see all these random students smiling at you, you probably think that its all set up (I know that I did). But at SU, it really seems to be true. People smile at me all the time all over campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Salisbury University is one of the cheapest in state schools for Maryland. In fact, to be honest it is not horribly expensive for out of state students either. And the cost is definitely worth it. I love the campus and enjoy that classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Try to get your work done. I know its liberating to be out of your parents house and be able to do whatever you want but that will all change quickly if you get put on academic probation because you went out with friends more than you studied.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who like the small campus feel but actually want a campus with alot to offer. Sometimes the smaller campuses have nothing for the students recreationally speaking. Since SU is about 7,000 students it is large enough to offer clubs and programs, but small enough to not overwhelm a person.
