Review of Suffolk University

from , MA

Will learn a lot

When you walk into a class room of about 16-22 students to one teacher, you really feel at home because everyone knows who you are! You will never sit in a lecture hall with 500 students so if you are that type of person this University isn't for you! But if you are like me and you like to work with the teacher then this school is a perfect fit! The labs are really nice if you are a science major because the teacher makes sure you are following along with the lab every step of the way.

Will enjoy being here

I have wanted to go to this school for about a year and a half now, it is the school of my dreams! It is right in the heart of Boston and the dorms are surrounded by the beauty of the city! The dorms are beautiful especially Miller and the students are friendly and diverse. The city is an amazing place to experience and to dive right into, you can find anything there!

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

This school offers good scholarships and grants for those who work for them. The dorms as I mentioned before are high tech and beautiful, and the view will take your breath away (over the Common)! The food is really nice but the drinks are expensive. The education you are getting here at Suffolk is well worth the money spent! You will learn a lot more from being in a small class then you would from a lecture hall!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I highly recommend if you are applying to this University that you take honors courses and AP courses while getting decent grades because they look highly upon that. I also cannot recommend enough that you go in for an INTERVIEW! This is extremely important (in fact this and my grades is probably what got me into Suffolk) because they want to see how you are as an individual. Don't be lazy and not go, if I was able to make it (living 3 and a half hours away) you can too! And when you go to an interview don't stress out just be yourself, and they love volunteer work so stress upon that. Before you go for an interview please research the college and the major you wish to peruse. They don't stress as much as they say they do on SAT scores or ACT scores. But if you are an okay SAT taker like me I recommend you take the ACT's I found the ACT's more understanding, and I got a higher score! If you have time I also recommend that you stock up on extra curricular activities of vast assortment but don't let your grades slack either.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students who love the city and want to explore, yet have a great education. I recommend this school especially for students who cannot sit in a lecture hall with hundreds of other students. This University is well known for having small classes where everyone can interact freely with the teacher and when the teacher knows everyone by name. Suffolk has great programs in law, art, sciences, and business fields. Any student who wants to be a Forensic Scientist or Biochemistry major has the amazing opportunity of working hands on with the Boston Police which I love! Student who will do well are students who are unique, diverse, and driven.
