When I began my college search, in my sophomore year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted, but I found myself focusing on small town campuses. It wasn’t until late junior year that I decided that Boston was the place for me, and that I wanted to try something completely different from suburban life, so I focused my search to the city and after one tour of Suffolk University, I was sold. I immediately fell in love with the downtown location, the small class size, and campus. The people I saw all seemed happy and friendly, and I felt like this was the right place for me.

I lived in the 150 Tremont dorms for two years, and I loved it! I love the sense of community, and people and the location. My room was on the top floor and overlooked the Boston Commons, the State House, and the city skyline. I have made so many friends through the residence hall community. I just got an apartment in the North End and I am excited to join the community of commuter students. There are a ton of students from Suffolk University living in the small Italian neighborhood, which makes it an awesome place to live!

I have also been amazed by the academics offered, I feel comfortably challenged. I know that my professors are always willing to help me, and they know me by name which makes me feel comfortable and welcome.

My favorite part of Suffolk University is the student activities. I became really involved by mid-fall semester my freshman year and have been hooked ever since. I started on the Program Council and became their treasurer by November of my freshman year! Last year I was the PR and advertising chair and in this, my junior year, I am Vice President! I am also a Teachers Assistant for a freshman introduction to college course which is a helpful guide to a successful first year experience. I also write for an online newspaper, The Suffolk Voice. I find that getting involved has been the best thing for me. I have met so many amazing people through Student Activities and have been able to attend so many unique events that complete my college experience.
