Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The students say it best: Clark is a great place to spend four important—perhaps the most important—years of your life. Those who go to Clark report being glad they went. They say that they learned what they wanted to learn in their major, had a lot of fun, and grew up in the process. No campus is perfect, but despite Clark’s flaws, students still manage to fall in love with it and pursue their degrees until the end. Clark’s strengths lie in its academics, its community, and the city in which it resides. Even though that same city gives rise to some of Clark’s largest problems, it also exemplifies the diversity that Clark strives to provide for its students on campus. The city’s restaurants also provide a welcome escape from Clark’s dreadful meal plan!

Although Clark suffers from a poor social scene, low enthusiasm for organized sports, New England weather, and the double-edged sword of apathy and tolerance, Clarkies leave the school realizing that they have just lived through an incredible academic and social experience. It is an experience that stays with them throughout their lives via Clark’s professional reputation, as well as the bonds formed with professors and fellow Clarkies. Students agree: By the time graduation day rolls around, you will be equipped to face the world as an educated adult, but you will wish you had just a little more time at Clark.

Campus Dining at Clark University

Really Good, Not Fantastic

The food quality is pretty good, with good staples of convenience food and salad and pasta bars. Some nights there are a ton of good and exciting eating options, others almost nothing. We have a vegan station and a gluten-free option which is great. There is really only one main dining hall, the Bistro (a faster option) is loved by some students, but does not have many options, though a sushi bar is being built over the summer! Jazzman's, the coffee bar in the library, serves its purpose well.

Ok, Variery of Options

I like that there are a lot of options at the cafeteria. The salad bar is the best.
