Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Regis College has really good teachers who care about the student and do everything in their power to make sure the student understands the information they are receiving. The teachers are well educated themselves and also keep the classes interesting. Also there are a lot of resources, such as writing centers and tutors, to help the student out of class.
Am enjoying being here Regis has some of the most amazing people you will meet. Its a small school so everyone knows everyone but its a good thing because people support and help each other. Also there are always events on campus that are fun and you get to meet more people. There are many clubs and sports that people can join to have a great college experience.
Bang for the buck Regis is an expensive school but the school is great at giving financial aid. 85% of students receive aid and the aid is a great amount which helps the student go to school especially in this difficult economy. Regis understands that not everyone can afford school so they try their best to give as much aid as possible.
Tips for prospective students Some tips are make sure that you are ready to learn and get prepared for your future career, be determined to do well, be prepared to make a lot of good friends, don't be afraid to try different things, keep your mind open and have fun.
Great for these types of students Students that are looking for a good education, meeting a lot of great people, people who want to have great majors especially nursing, for a suburban campus, having a great and close relationship with teachers and staff, and looking to have a great college experience.

Tips for prospective students allow you professors to help you if you struggle in any class. every instructor that i have met have been a great support and offer much encouragement to do well.
Academic Rigor be organized. get work done in a timely manner. never cram your assignments or studying.
Food and Dining as a commuter at this juncture i have had little exposure to the school food, to save money i usually brown bag.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus along with academic guidance and support, this school also offers ministry and opportunity to follow jesus' teachings. catholic mass is offered.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences the location is great, i love being close to boston. faculty seem to really care about their students and are extremely dedicated. the food's not great, but when you eat the same thing every day it's going to get boring, no matter what college you're at.
Tips for prospective students i definitely suggest coming to visit campus. it gives you a chance to see the school, and possibly talk with faculty in your prospective department or sit in on a class. you need to have all of the facts before you can make an informed desicion, and the best way to do that is to see the school for yourself. the pictures on regis's website are nice looking, but they aren't accurate. for example, the dorms are a little outdated, so there aren't any photos of individual rooms, just the outsides of each building.
Academic Rigor i'm a hsitroy major and my roommate is a nursing major, and i have to say that both of us are being challenged. we're both doing a lot of reading and writing-this is not a school where you can slide by without doing the reading. i think regis expects a lot our of its students, and it shows in the courseload.
Dorm Life the dorms themselves are a little outdated, but everything is well-maintained. it can be boring, a lot of people go home on the weekends, and regis isn't a big party school. dorms are co-ed by wing except for college hall, which is all girls. the staff are all very friendly and willing to help. and, if you really get bored staying on campus, there's a shuttle to riverside station to go into boston!
Food and Dining the food isn't great, but it's definitely improved over the last few months. a lot of it is basics: pizza, salad, burgers, and we have a stir fry bar. regis tries hard to make everything healthy but some of the food really just looks disgusting. best tip: try it! we've had a lot of food that looks bad, but tastes great. and remember that it's going to get monotonous. you're eating the same kinds of foods every day. but, it's like that at any college you go to.
What to do for fun there are a lot of group-sponsored events on campus, and during welcome weeks there's something going on every night. there's a shuttle to riverside station to go into boston, and there's a shuttle to the natick mall/framingham area.
Bang for the buck in terms of academics, i think it's worth the price. i really feel like i'm being challenged and that i'm learning. however, room and board seems a little hight for what we're getting for food options and the condition of the dorms.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there aren't really any unusual places on campus. the lsu (lower student union) is where most events happen. college hall has the best rooms, but it's all girls and is hard to get into. another desirable area is the pit, the basement floor of maria hall. it's quiet and kind of isolated. oh, and the best place to study is in the viewing rooms on the third floor of the library-no one disturbs you there!
Great for these types of students regis isn't a party school. we have parties, but they're small. i think regis is best for potential nursing majors (our nursing program is fantastic) and students who really prefer a smaller school with individual attention. i can't speak for people in other departments, but i love my department faculty and my advisor. and it's definitely good for people who love the city, but don't want to go to school in the city. we're close to boston, but far enough away that the school still has a small town feel to it.
Clubs and Activities if you can get a faculty advisor and enough poeple involved, you can set up any kind of club you want at regis. there are intramural sports, plenty of clubs, and chances to get involved on campus.
Greek Life we don't have any fraternities or sororities on campus.
Campus Safety the truth: there have been two stabbings on the regis campus. both didn't involves students, and campus police was right there to help. we're a small campus in a safe town, so there's no reason to have to wait for help or feel threatened. there are blue lights around campus in case anyone does need assistance.

Tips for prospective students Understand and ask about everything you want to know. It is very easy to assume that a school is a certain way when it is not.
