Salem State University Top Questions

The best thing about the school is the many groups that they have at the school. You will be able to find a group you can join. Also, you meet friends through these groups.

The best thing about the school is definately the cost. Also, there are people from all over that attend college here, so it is very racially diverse. It is a huge commuter school, so expect many snow days in the winter time.

Definitely the community and how all the students seem to feel that and encourage it in their own way. I felt welcomed into a new community the minute I arrived here. I've never had such a great social life until I moved here and I feel at home here. If it hadn't been for that, feeling welcomed and part of a whole, i probably wouldn't have continued with school here.

The best thing about Salem State is that it is a completely middle of the road school. It's competitive, but not overwhelming, big, but not too big, close to Boston but not right in the middle of a big city, and culturally diverse. For such a large conglomeration of people from all over, there is a real sense of community, because everyone finds something that reminds them of home.

People are very socially aware.

I love my dorm.
