Salve is a great school to attend if you are focused on your academics, seeking a deeper spiritual life (or not), plan to get involved in the community, and wish to be by the ocean.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved in clubs and activities, especially volunteering through out the community. Getting involved will leave you feeling fulfilled and give you a sense of unity amongst your peers.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Teachers at Salve are interested in what they do and care about their students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Salve has typical freshman dorms that are normal sized and focus on strong community bonding.The dorms become much better than average starting sophomore year. Every housing system beyond freshman year is gorgeous.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food at Salve is ok. There's a salad bar I like and eat from often.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun my friends and I often take trips to Providence, RI as the bus system is free with just a swipe of our Salve ID (anywhere in RI is free for Salve students to travel). I also volunteer frequently, use the gym, go for walks on the Cliff Walk, and attend the movie nights & event nights.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Salve is an extremely expensive school. They do however offer various scholarships and are very attentive in the business office/ financial aid offices. Part of what you pay for at Salve is the atmosphere and that's not really a secret. Salve has one of the most beautiful campus' in the country. The water can be seen from almost any classroom and the Cliff Walk is a frequent adventure for Salve students as soon as the weather is warm.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Salve has a very strong religious community which is fantastic for those students looking to enhance their faith. However, the rare quality that Salve offers is that religion is not forced upon anyone who does not seek it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Proactive students will fit in great at Salve. If you are interested in volunteer opportunities, clubs, and your academics then you will find that there is always something to do.Also, Salve has a lot of events on Campus over the weekend for those who choose not to go out. Students who are looking to party will quickly find it boring here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Salve has a variety of clubs to keep students occupied if you choose to be involved.I myself am a member of Big brothers/Big sisters, the environmental club,The Mercy Center, Positive Role Models, and coordinator of trips to a local food shelter.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Salve does not have a Greek system which turned me off to the school at first, but I've found many other clubs to substitute the qualities I was looking for such as unity and philanthropy.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I always feel very safe on campus. Whenever I'm walking the campus whether it be night or day I always pass a security car driving by. Salve also has the usual blue box system. Salve also has a very handy alert system which delivers news of any potentially dangerous happenings in the city to all Salve students (and their parents) via text and phone call.
