Am learning a lot | Endicott's professors WANT you to succeed. None of your classes will have more than 25 students, so your teacher knows your name. They all have office hours to make themselves available to you for some extra help or whatever you need to stay on top in class. Also, you start taking classes in your major your first semester, so you will always have at least two classes you'll love. |
Am enjoying being here | Can you say 3 private beaches? That's right. Endicott owns not one, not two, but THREE beaches for Endicott students only. There is nothing better than finishing class and heading to the beach with your friends. In the wintertime, the ponds on campus are great for skating and ice hockey. The campus is just 20 minutes from Boston if you're the city type. There really is something for everyone either on or near campus in the Beverly/Salem area. The free shuttle brings students to two different malls and the train station if you want to go shopping or visit family. I am going into my sophomore year and I can't wait until move-in day. I love my schedule, I got a double with my best friend in the brand new dorm currently being constructed, and I miss all the close friends I made over the year. |
Bang for the buck | Endicott really does everything they say they do. The upside-down curriculum is legit. I was taking three of my required communications courses my first semester. They also stress the internship program, and it is probably one of the best things about Endicott. You are required to complete 3 internships by the time you graduate; one for 3 weeks full-time over winter break your freshman and sophomore year, and one full-time whole semester internship your senior year. That's why they have you complete all your required courses by the end of junior year; so you're ready for your internship! You are assigned an academic advisor who helps plan your schedule and anything else you need, and you have an internship advisor who helps you every step of the way from landing your first internship to checking in on your semester internship. So by the time you graduate you will have three beautiful, shiny internships to show on your resume, when kids from other schools hardly have one. Endicott's motto is discover the experience, and they really aren't kidding. You will leave with not only a valuable degree, but experience for the future and memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. |
Tips for prospective students | Don't even bother looking anywhere else... no, I'm kidding. But seriously, college is all about finding that perfect fit and the best way to do that is see how you feel when you're here! My best advice to you: VISIT! Don't read about the beaches, come down and check them out! Tour the campus and come in our amazing dorms (almost all of which have private bathrooms, by the way. I was in Bayview Hall and each room has it's own bathroom. A+ in my book), see our classrooms and meet the students. Don't let its size fool you; 2,000 undergrads is perfect. It's small enough to make lots of friends, but big enough to meet new people every day. |
Great for these types of students | Shy need not apply! It is virtually impossible to be shy on this campus. It's too easy to meet new people and make friends. Kids are always out and about walking around, at the beach, or in common areas. If you're outgoing (there's always an event going on), sporty (75% of students are athletes), or artsy (Arts Center just got a nice 1mil dollar renovation) I promise you will love Endicott. |
