Assumption College Top Questions

I would have to say the costs of my school. Unfortunately, tuition has increased each year. I personally believe the school charges too much for housing, especially since some of these upper classmen apartments are old & in need of repairs. Assumption offers different meal plans, but even the cheapest plan (which is still a little pricey) ends up providing much more meals than a student can handle. I personally had this meal plan last year and found myself at the end of the year with $43 worth of food left (they don't transfer to next year).

Although I find the school to be a perfect size for me, I can understand why people have a difficult time with the small campus. If students do not involve themselves in other activities then it can be difficult to meet different groups of people; however, if students do branch out the campus seems a lot bigger with multiple groups of people.

How conservative the school is. Wish they were more open to different ideas and/or activities. I enjoy the small community, but at the same time it can be a downfall. Could be considered similar to high school drama. The Campus Police is also very strict and sometimes do not treat us like adults but as children.

It is a bit difficult for commuters to get involved on campus. It isn't impossible, but I was a transfer and the first semester was a bit rough finding activites and clubs I could be a part of.

The worst part about my school is that if you are not part of certain clubs and extracurricular activities on the campus, then you are almost shut out because it is very much a bunch of cliches.

The alcohol consumption on campus. We dont get into much publicized trouble but, it is sad to see such students when they get thier hands on some.

The worst thing about my school is probably the dorm furniture. It is impossible to move and doesn't have a lot of space.

To be honest, I love this school so I really had to pick the worst thing about it, I would probably pick the weather. The weather is usually pretty cold and when it snows, which it does often, the roads and sidewalks aren't always cleared in time to get to class.

I think that the worst thing about my school is the fact that some of the upperclassmen housing is in worse condition then the freshman housing. I currently live in a quad in upperclassmen housing and the furnature is not nice. The closet wood is chipping the walls are chipped with paint and the blinds are so old.

The dining hall is the only thing that comes to mind because I pretty much love everything about it. The food is great, but the hours the dining hall operates by are very odd and out of place. For instance, lunch ends at 3 p.m. and doesn't open for dinner until 4:30, and until then there is nothing to eat there. This is so weird to me, because there should be food there all the time I feel and students shouldn't have to wait.
