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.

I do not really know much about the athletics, but the people I know who are involved in the sports teams are very dedicated and enjoy it immensely.

Clark University Local Atmosphere was reviewed by EricaDupras
A+

There are so many things to do in Worcester and the surrounding area. There are casual places such as the mall or restaurants as well as more formal such as museums. Seasonal events such as Ice Skating are also fun. The locals seem to like Clark because the whole school is very into the charity work of the surrounding city.

Although the weather may not always be perfect, they make sure that we are always able to get to class. The paths are always well kept and weather doesn't stop New Englanders!
