Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Because it's a small classroom setting the teachers can give you all the help and attention you need to really learn the material
Am enjoying being here I love Salem. I'm so glad I chose to go here. The campus is beautiful and the students and staff are friendly. It's a very inspiring environment.
Bang for the buck Salem is a bit expensive, but they offer finanical aid to everyone which is how I'm actually here. The name carries a reputation so it will be earlier to get a job over someone who just went to another public university.
Tips for prospective students Come check out Salem and stay overnight for fall visit and scholarship weekend. It's an amazing place to be. I love Salem and I know you will too :)
Great for these types of students Salem is great for a young lady who wants to gain confidence and is driven to succeed.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Salem has so many great professors and I have already learned so much.
Am enjoying being here I love Salem's campus and enjoy the great student facilities!
Bang for the buck Salem is pretty expensive and I wish I received more financial aid. However, a degree from this school will definitely pay for itself!
Tips for prospective students Definitely prepare yourself for an intense workout just living on campus - the school was built on a steep hill and doesn't tend to believe in elevators!
Great for these types of students Students who do not mind attending a women's college and who love to be challenged. Salem is easy to get into but do not be fooled. The curriculum is just as difficult as many other top schools.

Categories Rating Comments Academic Rigor the dorms at salem are really nice and pretty clean in comparison to most colleges. both the first-year dorms have brand new furniture and big rooms. most of the time girls aren't too loud, so students can do their homework in their room without being distracted. if a student is from out of state then laundry can get expensive, and most of the campus leaves during the weekends. this is not a large university so the weekends can get pretty boring and the dorms may feel empty.
Am enjoying being here Salem is an all women's institution. It was created to cultivate strong, intelligent women. Its environment is strictly for learning and leadership opportunities through a student-run campus and small classrooms. The women are friendly and engaging. There is a place for everyone, whether it be the arts, sports, or academia.
Bang for the buck salem college is very proud of our history and traditions. every year we have a thanksgiving and christmas dinner as if the whole school is a family. the traditional christmas candle light ceremony is the most beautiful tradition salem has, and definitely not one to miss. once a student on campus, you will learn of many odd places around salem that need to be explored before you graduate. with a school 240 years old, there's bound to be a secret and hidden location somewhere on campus.
Tips for prospective students make sure you are prepared to go to an all women's college. if that's where your heart is, then go for it. salem is very, very small. it is like a miniature town, everybody will know you. if that is what you are looking for then it will be a good match. make sure that salem has what you are looking for in academics. research everything! salem has great jan-term opportunities where students can study abroad, take fun classes, or do an internship. this is something that most schools don't offer.
Great for these types of students salem is considered a sorority. we are gamma kappa delta. some girls on campus are really into greek life, while others are not. because salem is not a traditional sorority, there are not any initiations or huge parties. we do have big sis/little sis, which is one of the most anticipated events of the fall. juniors look for their little sister in the first year class, and vice versa. it's a really fun experience!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Salem is an academically excellent school. I have been blessed enough to learn tremendous amounts of information. It is based on the small classroom sizes and the great experience of the professors. Also,professors are available almost anytime you need them and they work with you one on one if you need them to!
Am enjoying being here Salem allows for students to make a tremendous amount of friends. I know I have. The small community allows for students to build personal relationships that will last a life time. The Big sis/little sis program is extremely helpful for students to get to know upperclassman.
Bang for the buck Salem college is worth all of the money that is put into tuition. The campus is gorgeous and with all of the services provided to the students it is really helpful!
Tips for prospective students Perspective students should go to all the events that are sponsored and they should definitely join clubs and go for leadership positions.
Great for these types of students Students who don't mind attending and all women's college.
Students who have good work ethic and are ready to take the time to do the work.
