r/ClarkU

My high school senior is a kid who likes to play video games, read manga, chat with friends about space and play boardgames. They don't want a big school and want to know their professors. They are interested in studying comp sci/physics or another STEM subject. We started with liberal arts schools but many of them are too focused on greek life, sports, religion or very preppy. Which is not their vibe at all. We keep coming back to Clark. We've visited RIT and other STEM schools but their curriculum has been too structured. And schools like Wesleyan and Skidmore, while great, are a bit too artsy. I share all this to see if this is how you or your kids wound up at Clark as well. Does this sound familiar?

I'm interested in applying to the PhD in Genocide Studies. I've looked into the program and I love the look of it. I've read some of the graduated students works as well as looked through what current students are researching and the program seems to be exactly what I want. The pay, the layout, the vibe, etc. Although I've never lived in Worcester I've visited many times - not my favorite place but I don't hate it. I'd likely live in campus housing due to some personal circumstances - I've heard the food sucks (are we talking inedible or meh?) but that's something I'm willing to deal with. Everything seems to be a good fit but I've seen some comments on this sub about how the school is rapidly declining and I want to know how true that is (constant faculty layoffs, poor management, etc).

Hi everyone! I’m an international student planning to apply to Clark University for Business Administration for Fall 2027.
My final high-school average is 72.6%. I know that's not an especially strong academic average, so I'm trying to learn from people who were actually admitted with similar grades.
If you got into Clark, especially as an international student, would you mind sharing your:
High-school average/GPA
Extracurriculars
Whether you applied ED
Anything you think helped your application

I also have a fairly extensive background in music/film scoring and other creative work.
I'm not looking for a guaranteed chance, I'd just like some real examples of successful applicants with similar academic records. Thanks!

Hey everyone I'm an incoming freshman and was just wondering what weekends are usually like at Clark.

I know there isn't Greek life, but are there still parties or a decent nightlife? Since most freshmen are under 21 what do people usually do on Friday and Saturday nights? Is it mostly dorm r apartment parties, hanging out with friends, going out in the city (Which I've heard it isn't the safest place), or trips to Boston?

Just trying to get an idea of what the social scene is actually like before I get there. Would love to hear what current students think, thank y'all

Hi! Basically title.

I'm an incoming freshman and was looking for more clarity on this situation because I can't really find it anywhere.

Feel free to also comment info on other dorms incase other freshman are wondering!
