Erin
I love the location of Curry College. I have the best professors, who are eager to see me succeed. I have met the best people at Curry. The campus grounds are beautiful. The dorms are less to be desired. The cost of the college is very high, the dorms are not great, we have freezing bathrooms, barely hot water, and mice in the dorms.
Sabrina
Curry College is a great school, but just like any other great school, you have to advocate and get involved for your own success. The facilities on campus such as the workout center, counseling center, student center, and library are all great places to be and make new friends! The professors are super kind and will help you if you reach out to them.
Alexandra
It is my home. It is were I live and where I have found my family. I love those who are there with me and I love the professors. They care so much about me and my success. My forensic science teacher especially is wonderful, he is there for me and teaches me all the things I am going to need for my career
Christopher
i went to the open house, it was very organized, everybody were nice, a lot of people around, staff are really nice,
Natalie
I think Curry College is a great School for people who are looking for small class sizes and professors that care about their students academic standing in their class. We hold a lot of pride as students and are a community together. Curry College provides great education, while being high in other activities.
Katie
I really like the academics, and I feel that the professors are willing to help and engage every student. The dorms tend to have pretty severe temperature fluctuations, as there’s no air conditioning in the summer in most of the dorms , and it takes awhile for the heat to kick in during the winter. There are mice when it’s cold, and there’s nothing really to be done about it.
Laurel
Awesome! This college has wonderful support for students of all types. If you have any special needs or learning issues, you can succeed at Curry. The support system at PAL is wonderful, The staff will help keep you on track, make sure you get the academic support you need, and be there for you for whatever you need help with!
Megan
I think Curry is an amazing college. It is very community bound, and everyone is very positive. Everyone seems to really enjoy going to their college. I really cannot wait to begin classes in the fall. I cannot wait for orientation. I cannot wait to move on August 24th.
Karissa
curry is a very small good school could help students individually a little more
Riley
This was the best choice for me. Small campus, small class size. Professors are readily available to help. Lots of activities and trips to take. Shuttles are available to take us to the stores shopping. I love the campus life. Great school. Would highly recommend visiting. Lots of programs offered to the students.
Jaime
A small yet quaint campus! The longest walk to class from the Residence Halls is 5 minutes! Curry College is close to Boston and there is public transportation readily accessible! There is activities in the Student Center and a newly renovated gym. There is plenty of
Mary
The best thing about Curry College is the class sizes; not too big and not too small, just perfect. The best way to meet new people and make friends is by joining a club or participating in sports. There are a variety of extracurricular activities going around campus all the time. One thing that Curry needs to make better is its diversity.
Emilee
Curry college is a great school to attend. Between the home feel you'll get just walking on campus for the first time, to the fun weekends where you can stay indoors or travel 7 minutes by train into Boston. This school is where long friendships are made and you will know your professor on a personal level. If you love small class sizes and having a bond with the people within (or out side) of your major this is the school for you.
Shawn
it Fucking Blows. Do not come here and do not waste your money. It is such a joke. I am warning you right now and trying to save you. DO NOT COME HERE. It is so expensive and a complete waste of money. You can go to a wayyyyyyy better school for soo much cheaper. Curry College blows, it may all sound great but it is a trap. Dont go.
billy
In all honesty, Curry College the honestly the worst ollege you can possibly go to. It is literally a disgrace. Do not come here. Do not be fooled on accepted students day, and orientation because they make the school sound so great when in reality it is honestly a laughing stock. They have people working all over the campus a week before accepted students day to make the school look so nice with planted flower and cut grass with no leaves in sight, but after accepted students day, it will all be back to normal. A shitty looking campus with dead and ripped out flowers. They make the food extra good at orientation and ASD but be prepared for when you actually come here for it to taste like absolute sawdust. In fact, the food rating here is an F. Look it up. It's even an F on the Sodexo reviews page for curry. You wanna have fun and go out to party? GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE. Seriously good luck. You'll most likely find one if you're a super hot girl or on the football or hockey team. Hey guys out there, good luck finding a girl cuz they all follow the hockey players around and ay zero attention to you unless you're a hockey or football player. The football players even have a hard time cuz all the damn girls are fucking the hockey guys! If you're just an average guy, better hope you find some connects or you're just gonna be sitting in your room with your boys smoking and drinking every damn weekend with no girls at all. Have fun playing pong with just your boys every weekend and having an RA up your ass the whole time. Oh and good luck to anyone who gets written up for weed or alcohol. They will literally treat you like and addict and make you do online assessments, take classes and have meetings about the progress you've made. When in reality they should just give you a punishment and be over with it. Got written up for a twisted tea and got deferred loss of housing. This place is a god damn joke. And another thing, public safety officers are the biggest hardos you will ever meet. You can tell they were all losers in high school. If an RA sees an empty beer can in your room, they have a right to search your room. And don't think they can't search your personal thigs because they can. They took a kids safe because he wouldn't open it or them. They made him unlock his chest and they went through it. So good luck to anyone who wants to just have a little fun and gets written up for it because you literally get written up for EVERYTHING HERE. Another one of my friends called someone fat, and he got written up, and they made him write an apology letter, and they took away his on-campus privileges until he did it. This school fucking blows don't come here and save yourself.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would say, Self, there is a whole new world concerning college life. You think high school was hard sometimes, college can be a bear. You will need to spend more time studing instead of hanging out with friends, watching sports. If you decide to play sports, you have to keeps your GPA at the level that the college requires. You might have a few days when you don't think it's all worth the trouble. When that happens, look to your fellow peers/fellow students. Talk to them, ask if the have the same feelings. Majority of the time, they are. Lots of time, take a deep breath, go somewhere if you can, and enjoy life. The biggest advice I can give you as I have always been told, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". I still live by that.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school would have to be how expensive it is. Curry College is a phenomenal nursing school with amazing academics and an all around great environment. Curry College is $42,000 a year. Which means I will have many loans to pay when I graduate.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I usually brag about how much I absolutly love Curry College. From the professors to my friends that I have made, I have had an all around amazing experience. The classes are very small and allow each student individual attention.
Curry college is good for its small classes, which makes it easier for students to learn and have a better understanding. As a student at curry college it is hard to fail becsuse of all the free reasourses they have on campus. Like, the writting center, which helps students to write better papers and they help students edit them as well. Curry college is well taken care of and clean, which I love.
I think we are best known for our nursing program, and the "camp like" atmosphere. (We're dubbed Camp Curry on Urban Dictionary.) Regardless of what the internet says though, I have more school pride than I ever have for any other school I've attended.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
That campus life is dead on the weekends most of the time. That problems are not taken care of by the residence life staff. However, the professors and the other students are very nice and kind to one another. The environment on campus is very good, it's in a suburban neighborhood, and it's around lot's of trees. Campus life is ok, but there is only a small selection of things to do on the weekends.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The expense! I love my school, I think it's great. The teachers are there for the students, and student activities always has things planned for us on campus, but we pay over fifty thousand dollars ayear to attend. This makes so many people transfer out, even though its such a nice school. Alot of my friends ended up leaving, so I'm trying to hang in there as long as I can!
