Worst School Ever

Rating: 3/5 (60 ratings)
Introduction
Take my word for it, only choose a school like Suffolk if you absolutely positively can not go any place else. I came here because I didn't get into Boston University, and I thought the experience would be similar. WRONG. What this school has to offer that most community schools don't is the Boston scene..however that is all! If you're the "party type", the "club type", or you just like to have a good time, you most likely won't have a good time at Suffolk U.

Campus Life and Social Life
The campus is extremely dull. The school itself is very nice to look at, however once you greet one of its dumb alumni, you'll want to leave immediately. The clubs and sports here are non-existent. Sometimes there will be one or two parties in Boston but it usually gets broken up in about four or five minutes, so there's really no point. There are absolutely no parties in dorms or even close to the campus site, which usually results in having to walk very far in very cold weather for a sucky night. The average student at Suffolk is usually not happy by the end of the night unless they blasted away half of their brain cells smoking.

Academics
The academics here at Suffolk are actually pretty exceptional, however the idiots that come here make it almost impossible to learn a thing. The people who leave Suffolk with an A+ Bachelors degree will usually find themselves pretty stressed out. The work load given is managable, but tough. Since the going out scene isn't really what other colleges in Boston experience, it's not hard to stay in on a Friday night and do a paper. The competition here is low since Suffolk accepts most of their students on academic probation in hopes to give them a second chance. However almost 50% of these people get kicked out because they fail.

Student Body
If Boston were Chicago, the students here at Suffolk would be mistaken for trailer trash. The school mostly consists of unattractive, all talk, low-lifes who believe they run things; they are CLEARLY mistaken. You'll see a lot of "wanstas" who were the same pair of pants around their thighs every day with a huge, (usually stained), phat farm shirt that covers their boxers. I've met some pretty cool people here that actually drink, go out, and have fun, but they usually end up leaving before even settling in a place like this.

In Closing...
Will you have fun? It depends on who you are. But if you are expecting the full throttle college experience with huge parties, huge classes, and drinking on the streets of Boston... look at other colleges here. It's possible to hang out with other college alumni, but they will most likely not want to associate themselves with the Suffolk student body.
