Psychology
The psychology department is pretty close-knit. I know most of the professors even if I did not have them in class. The intro classes are boring but once you get into the upper level classes and specific topics of psychology, they are really interesting and most of the time, students are really engaged in class. The research courses in the psychology department allow you to take the fundamentals learned in the many intro classes and put your skills to real research and research processes. I find research to be very rewarding and interesting; in many cases I find myself learning more in research than in any of the into classes. Many of the professors are helpful in helping with life decisions such as whether or not to continue onto graduate school, or what to concentrate on. I have an amazing advisor-Professor Vollhardt. She has been there every step of the way in my application to graduate schools.

Winter in Worcester
The winters here are unbearable. When the first snow hits, Clark looks like a winter wonderland, but within a few days all the snow turns grey and dirty. But then again, what can you expect when its snowing in the city?

Clark.
For the most part, Clark is much like any other school. You'll leave with good friends, a good education, a good experience (for the most part). But what sets Clark apart from any other school? How friendly people are. For the most part, you don't find people who just hate each other for no reason. Clark is a welcoming environment. Faculty is welcoming, the dean of students welcomes students to their offices, even the people who work in the cafe toss a smile your way, knowing you always stop by to have a slice of pizza. The best thing about Clark is the first perfect day of spring, when the entire school is outside on the green, laughing, singing, and playing Frisbee. That first perfect day when we all share the beautiful weather and create what is known as the Clark Community.
