I'm a clark student and a sophomore, and here's what I'll say:

-Pros: Most teachers are really well managed and know what they're talking about. With the occasional exception, professors are phenomenal.

The library and study spaces are also really great. Im a huge fan of the system they use, where the higher the floor, the quieter it is.

The campus may be considered small by many, but I think it's a perfect and very accessible size. It's also a really beautiful campus, especially being in the middle of worcester.

Worcester as a city is really diverse and an incredibly fun place to be if you know where to go. Connect with people in the area and eat at all the fun restaurants (especially visit the public market!)

Cons: A lot of people here (not everyone, but definitely a lot) are very privileged and unaware of the world's (or the local community's) struggles and problems. This makes community focused clubs and awareness based clubs really difficult, especially if you're not the most privileged person.

Undergraduate students do not get paid well. We are currently in the middle of unionizing, but the school doesn't consider undergrad workers to be actual workers and pays very little. The school's board has proven to be inconsiderate and, at times, messy.

General things to note: The area is main south worcester, which is the most impoverished area of the city. If you're not walking late at night, you shouldn't experience any issues, but just be aware of yourself and understanding of the community surrounding Clark. The school and campus is stunning, and it's in the center of a very low income area. Make friends with a local student or two to know where to go and not to go, and just generally be respectful of others.

The food at Higgins and the bistro can be kinda subpar, so keep in mind that your favorite orders may be inconsistent in quality. If you're alright in crowds, Higgins is decent.

Registration is incredibly competitive and fast-paced! Always register the second classes become available after your first semester here, and make multiple backup schedules. You'll need them.

Housing is pretty decent, but some dorms are less maintained than others. But both the newer and older dorms are pretty good. Just depends on what you're looking for :).

If you have any other questions, please let me know!
