In a nutshell: please do not waste your time at this school

Longer Version:

  • The campus:
  • pretty small a student body of ~2100 at the time I attended 01-05. The place is misreable, there is nothing whatsoever to do here. Fr/So were not allowed to have cars on campus which sucked even more gladly I was a commuter. The ground are not very well kept, there is a disgusting fake pond outside the science building. The library is poorly lit, dusty, and dated. Most all the buildings as well are spartan and not very well maintained. The student center will keep your interest until about spring break of your first year. In brief, the dorms are filthy digusting! You wont feel bad if you end up throwing up on the floor after a night of heavy drinking.
  • Teachers:
  • Not half bad, fairly easy to communicate with in the science department. BUT here is the real problem with merrimack, the student body is so stupid that often the teachers never can get through the syllabus, the students feel there being pushed too hard, OMG i have too much hw!! The teachers become overly disenchanted that they have choosen to dedicate their careers to teaching but can't really do it. By that point the teachers stop caring the few students who do want to learn cant…its just a very bad cycle that merrimack has fallen into.

    Academics:

  • pretty much non exsistant, dont bother being a science major, you wont get a job and you wont have easy access to grad schools either
  • med schools dont even know what merrimack is
  • The business program has NO accreditation
  • Social life:

  • GREAT, if your idea of social is drinking, playing X-box the going to sleep. There is an occasional party, and that is broken up very quickly by the prison guards, err I mean the wonderful public safety department. The school is located in North Andover, and really might as well just be North Andover High School part II. Being a north andover resident, you will have some of your old classmates with you, along with kids that come from similar communities from around MA/RI/CT. Thats another problem there is no diversity at this school, like 95% white new englanders…boring, and not in the least bit close to the real world.
  • stuff around merrimack include a bunch of crappy old bars, they are all miserable and mostly old people. Even Boston doesnt have the best nightlife but better than North Andover.
  • Bottom Line: Merrimack costs ~$40K/yr most any school costs that amount of money, for the love of god please visit other schools, there is no reason to go to merrimack. and if thats the only place you got in? Well either your not smart enough to go to college, (which is ok) or you are about to do something stupid and pay 40 grand when you could do the first two years at any community college and get the same if not better education. make the right choice and avoid the 'Mack.
