If you want to have a social life in college, Suffolk is not your school. It is not nearly as diverse as it claims to be, and it has several dorms, (all flawed in one way or another), making it even more separated. Mainly, every day at Suffolk tends to repeat itself and becomes very boring. Including the classwork.

Not so bright
I did not want to attend Suffolk University, but after taking a gap year off, I was crazy to go into the first school I found; Suffolk was the lucky one, I suppose. That being said, I was surprised of how much I liked it. The faculty cares about you, the school work is challenging, and the location is great. The only negative thing that I can say is that some of the students are arrogant and not very bright. Also, I was disappointed with the "campus" which is composed of a few buildings in Downtown Boston.

I see there are many comments saying that the fact that there wasn't a campus made it hard to meet people... I've read the reviews of BU, Simmons, and UMass Boston and if you go right now to read them yourselves you'll notice the same comments. This is definitely going to sound like a cliché, but college is what you make it. If you look for friends, you'll find them.
There are ALWAYS going to be negatives and positives. If students are very outgoing and fun, they will gain the reputation of slackers that only want to party. If the students' priority is to study and work, the whole student body doesn't have a school spirit and you won't meet anyone. Go to any review and you'll see for yourself.

If you like the school or if you're unsure, go; you could always transfer.

Oh Suffolk University. What can I say? Well, I did not want to go here in the first place...I was kind of pushed into going. I thought I would grow to love it but I don't. For the ridiculous amount of money it costs it should be a school that is easy to love. Like many of the other reviews say, if you want the full "college experience"...do not come here. There is not a campus it's just buildings around the downtown Boston area. I know when I go to other schools that have a campus I love the feeling and you just don't get that here. No one really has school spirit and people are worried more about partying than anything else. I'm not from New England but most people from Suffolk are and already have a set group of friends. I want to go to a school where the people have pride in the university and it is a place that I can call home. Therefore I am transferring and am ecstatic about it!!

Quite Bright
If you got mediocre grades in high and are looking for a charming, small, friendly university that won't challenge you very much - Suffolk is the place for you. It really is a nice place, but this is Boston, and there is WAY better. I am working hard to transfer to Northeastern or BU.

Otherwise, it is in the safest and cleanest area of Boston. It is VERY SAFE. The faculty cares about you, classes are small (~15 - 30).

Students tend to be on the superficial side. They aren't very smart and are only concerned with parties. Also, there is limited space in the dorms so many students end up being very lonely living alone.

It is not a bad school, and if you embrace it you will enjoy yourself very much here.
