I have completed my first semester at Salisbury and have taken 4 classes so far. I did very well in all four classes and feel that I have learned a lot so far. I accredit this success to many sources. First, the class sizes. My anatomy and physiology was rather large, about 80 students, but my other classes were much smaller. Two classes had about 25 students and one had only 15 students. The smaller classes allowed for more personal attention. Teacher were able to answer questions during class and hold class discussions that supported whatever we were learning. Second, although I loved only 3 out of 4 of these teachers and found the other decent, they were all very encouraging and wanted to see their students succeed (even the least tolerable of the four) and were willing to help when you need the extra assistance. Every teacher has office hours multiple times per week and many will meet at other times as well if you make an appointment. If you feel you need additional help or you just don't think your teacher is your best match the Center for Student Achievement offers tutoring and study skills workshops. There is also a writing center to help you with papers and resumes.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being at Salisbury has been an exciting adventure; there are many things about it that I love. There are so many clubs, there is definitely something for everybody. The school also brings a lot of good comedians and performers (all free for students!). I also think the school is really strong in providing lots of opportunities for freshman students to meet each other and get connected.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Salisbury is relatively inexpensive as far as colleges go. Yet it still provides a strong education, nice dorms (they are currently in the process of renovatiing all the freshman dorms so provide private bathrooms, so they are only going to get nicer), and fantastic food (the dinning hall has a large variety and makes special meals for every holiday. it also has food events sometimes like lobster night and make your own pizza night).
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Go to the club fair... there is something for everyone and is a great way to meet people with common interests.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for students looking for a medium-sized school- its the perfect size to meet lots of new people, but also see familiar faces. It is also good for strong athletes who don't want the hype of a D1 school- we're D3, but very competitive. If you love the beach its great for that too because we're only 25 miles from Ocean City :)
