What is unique about Suffolk?

It is a small enough university where you can truly gain access to the faculty and other students, but at the same time not sacrifice on a "university feel".

What was your experience as an international student?

International students can have the whole US university experience without having to attend a mega university n a sprawling campus in the middle of nowhere.  Also, by being in a major US city with an international flair, international students do not have to feel out of place.

What was your most memorable thing about Suffolk?

I am still adding to the memories by being so involved with various aspects of the university, from being a financial advisor to so many employee, to being an adjunct professor.
