Clark University - Overall Experience

College Prowler Take

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.

I can't imagine being anywhere... I can't imagine being anywhere other than Clark! I actually was not too excited to come here because I didn't feel the college spark when I visited, but the minute I stepped onto campus as a Clark student, I knew I had come to the right place for me. It is definitely a difficult school, and students really do have to work, but it is all worth the work because the friends I have made here are truly remarkable people, and I can't imagine my life without them. 12345 Overall Experience: February 21, 2009 Report

I absolutely love this university.... I absolutely love this university. I have been able to grow and learn in ways that I never thought possible. Clark is incredibly warm, accepting, and inviting. There is a great atmosphere here, and if I had to do it all over again, Clark would be first on my list. 12345 Overall Experience: February 18, 2009 Report
