Salisbury University

I've only attended Salisbury University for two years, but I've been here long enough to know that it's not for me. I would like to warn others against coming here, or at least clarify what they they should expect. Salisbury University revolves around four basic things:

almost entirely alcohol-based social life

lacrosse/field hockey

nursing program

education program

If at least two of those things appeal to you, then coming here might not be a bad idea. Otherwise, avoid it. Academically, the campus is at best mediocre. The surrounding city is not a stimulating place for most young people. I've had generally poor experiences with our career services and housing facilities.

It's not that things here are horrible, exactly, it's just that the opportunities are so much better at larger universities, even instate. Where we might have one or two orchestral performances per season, UMD has one every week or two. Whereas here you might get an internship at Wallops Island, at UMD you could get work at NASA in DC. I came here because I've lived in Salisbury all my life: it was the easy and convenient decision. Without a compelling reason involving the above four suggestions, I see no good reason for the high school grad to consider Salisbury University.
