WHAT I LIKED

I like that Salem State University is small and everyone is friendly toward one another. I also like the size of the dorms, they are very spacious and have plenty of room. I also like the small classroom sizes because it's easy to talk to professors and ask for extra help. There are also a lot of job opportunities on campus for students and everything is close together.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

The food at the dining hall could be better. The buildings where we have classes also are in need of work.

WHAT I LIKED

My education experience is pretty good, and most of the professors are pretty helpful you just have to know who to ask for the proper information.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

The food is not that great, the non-people of color is not very progressive in a way and the frat parties are horrible.

WHAT I LIKED

Salem State University is a great place to go if one doesn't like bigger schools with a good education system in many departments, especially musings, psych, and business, for an affordable price. There is plenty of events at the beginning of the year to make people feel accustomed to the place. The food is average and the dorms are spacious enough for 2.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

Students attending should know this school is not big for party scenes because it is a small school.
