Major: Journalism (This Major's Salary over time)
Salem State wasn't my first choice but their Communications program is really good especially for Journalism, Advertising or PR. The classes are theoretical, practical and you really do learn. I'm glad I chose to be a Journalism major here. Some other noteworthy majors are Education, Nursing, Social Work, Criminal Justice and Psychology.

The social life isn't that great if you live on campus here. This is primarily a commuter school, as I am a commuter myself. It’s mostly locals in the surrounding area who go here. However, Salem is a very cool area with some nightlife and lots of history as well as a Halloween bash every year. Boston, Gloucester are very closeby too. The Central Campus dorm and the Bates Living complex are the best places to live on campus. I’ve seen them and they’re pretty decent size and clean too.

However, I do recommend this school. Be sure you pick the right major (this is coming from other students I know). Some of the gen ed classes suck, but they have a really good communications/journalism program here. Consider this if you want to pay state school prices in Mass rather than going to Emerson and pay big bucks.
