Review of Suffolk University

from Hooksett, NH

Describe your college in three sentences.

Suffolk University is the perfect place for anyone looking to be immersed directly into the Boston community. The school community couldn't be better! The professors care about your success and there is always an event going on where you can meet fellow students!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit the campus and you will fall in love (since Boston is the campus!)

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

The classes are challenging and they help you to develop as a student and a person. All the business courses prepare you for what you will see in the work place.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Suffolk has traditional dorms, suites and apartments, which are available to students for their first two years. They are clean and comfortable. Maintenance is quick to respond if you need anything. The RAs work hard to foster relationships among students on their floors.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Sodexo has worked to add creative options to the menu (like pasta bars and stir fries). The cafe in Donahue offers sushi and Chinese food and the cafe in 73 Tremont has the BEST salad options and awesome sandwiches - they aren't your regular options and you can do make your own too!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Suffolk is located downtown - the perfect area for fun! There is always something be put on by the various clubs on campus. Freshmen get to go on a harbor cruise and go to a concert/dance at the House of Blues as a part of welcome week. For Boston sports fans, clubs are always offering discounted tickets to Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox games! Plus, there is a lot to do in Boston. Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market are only a five minute walk from the school. Boston also has the New England Aquarium and Museum of Science, both of which host free college nights!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Suffolk is great for students who are looking for more than just academics - if you like student like, Suffolk is for you!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is always something to do and some way to get involved no matter what your interests are! (and if there isn't a group that does what you are looking for, its easy to work with the Student Leadership and Involvement office to create a new group!)

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

All buildings have security on staff and Suffolk Police patrol the area constantly. To enter all dorms, students have to swipe their IDs and any student or other person who does not live in that specific dorm must be signed it with security (which includes security scanning in a photo ID and holding the ID until the person is checked out) and all residents must stay with their guests during their stays. I have always felt safe on campus.
