Socially wise you cant do anything. Cops stand outside of upperclassmen doors preventing students from going into parties. Girls are absolutely the worst thing ever and think that because they own sperries and have uggs shoved up their ass that they can f**k whatever lacrosse player they want. Guys only look at girls that are “plastic” and play a sport.
Other than that the only reason why I like this school is because after I separated myself from people that are awful I found myself finding people that I actually like.
One word for this school “mainstream”
if you like “Call Me Maybe,” or dont know who the Grateful Dead is, then you’ll love ASSUMPTION LYKE OMG
….but if you want adventure, diversity, and have a thirst for knowledge….. dont come here.
Freshman dorms were a bit out dated, but have since been updated (were updated my junior year). Housing from soph year thru senior year was great!!!
I think people complaining didnt take advantage! Every school has students who don’t like it…and if you look into it, if you ask what they did on campus they always say “nothing”….do you expect everyone to always come to you???? try getting involved!! thats the way the world works!
Most liberal arts schools are like that in regards to the student body. They contain many kids that will still be obedient to their parents even after graduation. At the “hippy-fancy” liberal arts schools its mainly just for fashion and they would get roasted in a philosophy class about being a humanist… anyway… i had the same impression of assumption as when i first got there.
You’ll find some kids that are NOT truly simple-minded tools… I did, many. Played in a few bands that weren’t Dave Mathewesque and argued politics and philosophy while drunk and ended up not even liking the kids that looked independent and even was able to friend a few guys that where gold necklaces, gelled hair and abercrombie.
Catholicism was new to me, and did not mind being freely to argue God in the classroom room which you can not due at many public colleges…. but I hate how Catholicism took a grip on the Humanities fields.. A few Professors had to leave while I was there because of the administration and trying to censor the way they teach..
There it is okay to offend someone in the Philosophy or Theology classroom but not the History or English classroom…
most may look the same there, but you don’t have to get along with all of them. it’s not like one big frat that defines you.
p.s. I am sedated in a hospital room writing this, so if its unclear..
oh yeah. the censorship of the newspaper is ridiculous!!! i wrote an article on marijuana, which of course did not make it in… they put some anti-gay marriage stuff instead… this was back in 03 i think
Saying this place sucks is the understatement of the century.
I have the unfortunate circumstance of being a student here, so I actually know what the hell I’m taking about. This place is a complete bust. Nearly every aspect about it rots. For starters, it’s a CATHOLIC college, which would seem to be an oxymoron, except that church and administrative officials do their darndest to clamp down on free speech, opinion, and diversity (ESPECIALLY matters concerning sexual orientation, which school officials completely ignore. If you are gay, I’ve heard you ARE invisible here. You have NO RIGHTS).
Assumption is run by tired, aging, stuffy, out-of-touch Baby Boomer Catholics who don’t know left from right in terms of education and dignity. They are quick to judge and punish, and lightyears short on intelligence, wit, warmth, and compassion. They want to see that you follow their orders and that you don’t challenge yourself. They are among society’s most guilty adults. They have their fat paychecks, they have their cozy offices, and they don’t give a shitwink about the drub Assumption is passing off as an “education”.
The residential life staff is filled with twenty-and thirty-somethings who are arrogant, judgmental, and cruel. They ALL protect their own interests like a SICK CULT and couldn’t care less about the well being of the students. They don’t have children or families of their own so they lack a fundamental understanding and compassion in dealing with the larger campus “family”. They have a strong inclination to punish. I’m not sure whether they are more frightening or just pathetic. Probably both. Don’t trust anyone!
You have to feel badly for the student body. Most of them have already been malnourished by white, sheltered middle class Catholic high school educations, so they don’t notice that things are seriously disturbing at this school. But since they are silent, intolerant, and indifferent to the suffering that goes on at both Assumption and around the world, they are a huge PART OF THE PROBLEM. Oh, and very few of them are attractive.
The facilities are disgusting. Underclassman dorms are ugly, old, and poorly kept. Upperclassmen housing is few and expensive. The dining hall experience is uniformly unpleasant: a jukebox obnoxiously blares Celine Dion every damn day. I’d rather eat my own feces than the food offerings.
Assumption’s few (only?) strengths lie in the professors. Although they are, again, aging Boomer adults without a clue as to the nature of the odd institution at which they work, a lot of them are pretty smart, helpful and interesting. Unfortunately, others are pretty stupid and obnoxious.
Assumption is located in an spoiled upper-middle class neighborhood outside of the desolate, dying city of Worcester, MA. There is NOTHING to do and NOWHERE to go. Trust me. The Worcester Art Musuem is ok, but it’s out of walking range and is pretty small and boring after you’ve seen it once. You need to have a car or else you are stranded.
Overall, stay the hell away from this shithole. There are so many other options for schools, I can’t imagine anyone coming here. Go here is you are white, Catholic, ugly, stupid, short, and don’t want to ever see the beauty in diversity and the richness and complexity of the real world.
