Suffolk University Top Questions

Describe the students at Suffolk University.

Tatyanna

In my own perspective I find that my classmates can seem a little intimidating to approach and start a conversion with because they project the feeling that they do not want to be in the class or be bothered with.

Nicole

My classmates were extremely eclectic and personable.

Paula

Most classmates are friendly and helpful and will talk to you if you initiate a conversation. There are the few students who are not necessarily outgoing or talkative but they will still answer your questions, if you have any.

Being in the middle of the biggest college town of Boston, there is a giant melting pot of students from all over the world. Everyone brings their own experiences and backgrounds to the environment making it very special. There is an interfaith center where students gather from all sorts of religions, a diversity office which focuses on LGBTQ topics and issues, academic clubs and organizations that dedicate themselves to putting on fun events almost every day for students on campus. Everyone has their own unique style but most hold the same values of working hard in school and can have intellectual conversations! A far cry from my home town! Because students are usually involved in multiple clubs there tends to be tone of different groups of friends that all intermingle. With only 5000 undergraduate students it sometimes seems like everyone knows everyone, but in a good, community building way. Students are usually politically aware, hold multiple jobs, are always looking to the future, look for internships and hold academics as their main priority.

Stephanie

Most of my classmates are very helpful and friendly. Some are shy and keep more to themselves, but for the most part, everyone is very approachable and kind.

Samantha

My class is very diverse and interesting to talk to.

Anne

Our class was very diverse, although there was no on campus housing at that time that didn't limit the number of international and national students. The outstanding factor was that students were there to learn, they took their education seriously and weren't there to party and blow off classes. Class discussions were involved and thought provoking because everyone came from a different background socioeconomically and culturally. The general attitude was we are here to learn and do well, and for many, to move on to graduate studies.

Neil

A very diverse group of individuals.

Lauren

Asside from the diverse student body, students at Suffolk University are very goal-driven career focused individuals.

Martin

My classmates are diverse, trendy and most of all curious to learn.
