I transferred here to Suffolk from a bigger school (over 20,000) so I got the "college experience" However, no one who went to Suffolk as a freshman got this experience. If you want to go out to the bars every weekend and spend hundreds of dollars, then go to Suffolk. Other than that, you don't get a campus community feel like other schools will get you and there are no raging house parties like bigger schools.

The dorms may come off as nice, but they are AWFUL. Way too expensive (although you should know that since your in the heart of downtown boston.) I lived in 10 West, I went home for a weekend and came back to a nasty message from the head lady saying they found alcohol in my room. Pretty sure you need some permission to do that, but nope they just went into my room, went through my closets and everything. Although I was in the "wrong" I just simply felt disrespected.

Academics are OKAY, the faculty are easily accessible. The classes are fairly easy, since going to another school I have something to compare to. I went to a much more prestigious school prior, so I wasn't expecting the same thing at Suffolk. It's easy to get into. You feel like your in high school, theres still smart kids but there's still dumb kids.

The one thing I hate about Suffolk the most, academics wise, is constantly being compared to obviously the more prestigious schools in the Boston area. Suffolk is clearly the bottom of the barrel in terms of surrounding schools, and I have found that professors are constantly boasting about graduating from Northeastern, or Harvard, etc.
