I am quite dismayed by the many negative comments. I can only assume if they are true then there has been quite a change at Merrimack. Granted it has been a number of years since I graduated from Merrimack (1974); I was a chemistry major. The chemistry department throughout the 70s and 80s under the guidance of the chairman Ronald Pike, PhD was well respected. On a yearly basis chemistry majors went on to outstanding graduate schools including MIT, Johns Hopkins, Brown, University of Maryland etc. I myself after graduating from Merrimack earned a Masters Degree in civil engineering from Tufts University in one year and then an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School in 3 years. My sister also a chem major and graduate of Merrimack (1975) went directly to UMass Medical School and earned her MD. Again I wonder how much has changed at Merrimack? The professors I had in the dept of chemistry were some of the best educators I have encountered in my career. I do agree that the community is rather small and not much to do. I was a commuter and had a car so Idid have opportunities to go into Boston or to the seashore in New Hampshire and Maine. As are some of the other commenters I am not a drinker; and I do feel that too often social life at Merrimack was centered around getting drunk or getting high. I would also probably agree that the hockey players thought they were "King #&$#" on campus; of course at time it was about the only "major sport" at Merrimack. Finally I would just say that too often students complain about their school, and feel that other schools are so much better. Students need to assess what they want in their academics and choose wisely where they matriculate. For me, Merrimack College was the right choice and it served me well. |
