Excellent School: Initially, I didn't like SSC as a school. I found it to be isolated from somewhere like Boston and found the social life rather abrasive and cold but eventually I came around and realized that it's actually one of the best schools good money can buy. Unlike a lot of other overrated schools whose tuition can take people to the cleaners, SSC is affordable and the quality of faculty is exceptional, not to mention the housing which is pretty decent. I found much of the facilities to be excellent with a terrific cafeteria, good fitness centers and overall access to just about anything on this expansive campus, which covers much of the outskirts of Salem. However, the parking is nightmarish so prepare. But this is a good school that you should attend, based on merit than name or status. Some of the professors have taught or been educated at other schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Boston University among many others. Many of them are passionate about the material as well. Personally, you can't go wrong with this school even if you tried. The education is affordable and you can find campus life, but if you're willing to actually look for it. The school is commuter-based although with recent housing changes, it might be more open to people. It's inevitable that you make friends here, and you can at SSC. But don't pay attention to the social activities, which are really dorky. With respect to their activities council, no one attends the activities, they just want to take advantage of the free food. One of the best traits about SSC is location, because there's a wealth of things to choose from like movie theaters, bars and restaurants. It's also in a reasonably safer area plus it's scenic New England so you can't go wrong with that. Overall, I would say this is a school you should attend if you don't get into that dream school you wanted. I think my application to SSC was meant to happen although I almost didn't apply based on the merit of my grades.
