Why did you come to Salisbury University ?
I came to SU because I liked the size of the campus
and the fact that I could get more of a one-on-one type
of relationship with my professors than if I were to go
to a BIGGER University. I also, liked the warm welcome
feeling and atmosphere of the campus. Another reason I
came to SU is they have a variety of intramural sports
teams, clubs, and organization, meaning I would have
more of an opportunity to get involved with activities
such as the SU Untouchables Dance Team, which is a
hip-hop dance club that performs at SU events.
What are some options for food at SU?
There are many places on campus to eat. I enjoy going
to the dining hall because there is a variety of
selections and you do not have to eat the same thing
everyday, unless it’s your choice. In the Commons you
can find food from cereal to pasta to stir fry to pizza
and even a deli. And the Bistro, which is part of the
Commons, has more of specialized food; for example,
lasagna, lobster, egg plant parmesan, shrimp, and much
more. Everyday there are different types of food in the
Bistro, which I like, because I like having the option
to choose what I want to eat. Besides the Commons, there
is also the Gulls Nest Pub and Eatery, where you can get
food from Chicken tenders to hot and cold subs to
mozzarella sticks and much more. So you don’t always
have to eat in the Commons. You also have Cool Beans
Café where you can get deli sandwiches and bakery goods,
and good coffee and smoothies. The Food on campus is
definitely one of the best places I have eaten compared
to when I have visited friends or other colleges.
Do you need a car at SU?
Freshman year I did not have a car and that was not
as bad as I thought it would be. There are many stores
and food places that are in walking distance to the
campus. I mean if you look across route 13 there are
plenty of food chains and restaurants. More than likely
you will make friends with people that have cars, and
they will give you a ride or let you borrow their car to
run an errand. There is a car pool bulletin board on
campus for students going home or places that typical
want driving partners. There are other types of
transportation if you need to go places, you have buses
and taxi’s, so not having a car is not a BIG deal.
What are the computer labs like on campus?
There are plenty of computer labs that are open on
campus. Fulton Hall and the Library computer labs are
open till Midnight every night, and Henson has a lab
that closes earlier. There are computer labs in the
Guerrieri University Center by Career Services. It is
very rare to find all the computers occupied, but even
if they are you can find an open computer lab. You have
access to the Internet and many different types of
software, from Microsoft word to Mini-Tab that you have
to use in your Statistics course. There is always
someone there to help you if you do not understand how
to use a specific program. And, even if you bring your
own computer or lap top from home, there is software
available at the bookstore and if you are having trouble
all you have to do is pick up the phone and call our
Tech Department.
