Salisbury...Not For Everyone

Introduction
I chose Salisbury for the following reasons: 1) It had a small, cozy feel, 2) The people seemed nice and laid back, 3) I liked the Honors Program, 4) I wanted to be near the beach, and 5) The school seemed interesting and there seemed to be a lot going on.
Well things aren't always as they seem...it's not that I've been disappointed with the school so much as it hasn't been exactly what I've expected.
This is the type of person I would recommend the school to: 1) Cares somewhat about academics (if at all) but does not want a huge workload, 2) Loves sports and parties (we are all about lacrosse mostly, some football), 3) Has a car or access to one (this is a big thing; you literally cannot do ANYTHING or get to anything without a car), 4) Is okay with seeing the same people over and over, and 5) Is okay with literally no diversity at the school (and on tha note, a lot of people hang out with friends from high school)

Campus Life and Social Life
Best: Going to the beach (40 min drive), some fun parties if you can find them (especially if you are on a sports team or greek), and some pretty cool clubs/activites for really anything you could possibly be interested in.
Worst: If you are not on a sports team or greek and don't want to/can't go to those parties, you may just end up drinking in your dorm most nights, and there is NOTHING to do in the town of Salisbury, except go out to eat, go to the crappy mall, or to the movies.
Also, the food is decent but it gets old, the dorms aren't terrible but DON'T live on the Honors Floor (trust me), and it only takes 5-10 minutes to walk to a class, which is nice. Advertisement
Academics
In my experience, many people don't take academics that seriously. That is not to say we are a school of dumb kids; I have met a lot of intelligent, motivated students, especially in the Honors Program. On that note, the Honors Program is definitely a plus at the school; there are interesting classes in a wide variety of topics, it can be a good amount of work/reading but nothing too extensive, and the classes are small, discussion-based seminars. Honors kids also get priority registration for classes (with the upperclassmen) and the program sponsors a lot of activities and trips.
One good thing though...the classes are small, discussion is encouraged, and professors are easily accessible.
-Good departments: 1) Business, 2) Biology (the sciences in general) 3) Philosophy, 4) Communications.

Student Body
The majority of kids are: 1) Either white or black (it is rare to see Asians, Hispanics, or any other race), 2) From MD or NJ, sometimes NY or PA, and 3) Upper-middle class. It can be difficult to meet good people because kids can be very cliquey (esp. w/ high school friends), but eventually you'll find some. I met a lot of friends through friends and in classes. Some people are just going to be rude and snobby, but a lot of times people turn out to be alright. But watch your back, because they can backstab you in a second.
Also, I'd say probably 85% of the girls wear Uggs all of the time, if that says anything about the student body. They are quite the preppy bunch.

In Closing...
It's not a bad school, but know what to expect.
