    Peabody Institute Library - Don't think I'm suppose to be in here

Ol' George was a boy that was dirt poor but through hard work and intelligence made bezillions of dollars over the years. George not only made this library possible but a whole bunch of other pretty amazing places. Including a certain Peabody Museum at Yale University in CT. The library was designed by famous architect Richard Bond and is a lovely brick building that has gone through lots of additions and changes over the years. I heard that it once had a huge tower in that back that was destroyed decades ago. The library is rather scattered inside, some rooms are ornate and beautiful and others very plain. It's easy to tell where the additions were added because they don't blend in well with the old parts. The library is a fascinating place to explore, the kids room and local history room are really cool and it's the type of library with lots of nooks and places to check out. Some were places where I suspect I wasn't suppose to be. The librarians here were wonderful and friendly and happy to tell me all about their cool, old library. Not as grand and stunning as some other old libraries but the Peabody Institute definitely is unique.

    As a freshman student (part of the class of 2024) I've been attending this amazing and beautiful…read moreuniversity for almost 7 months at this point, and I can honestly say I love it here! The food is good, I've made plenty of good friends, and almost everything that I need (like shopping, food, essentials) is within walking distance for someone like me who isn't yet a car owner! The education I've received so far has been pretty exceptional considering my first year of college has been amongst the global COVID-19 pandemic, but the classes are awesome so far and I can't wait to see what my next three years at this school look like! So far, my only complaint is the confusion of the campus-bus service, known as the Viking Shuttle, and it's kinda unreliable schedule and clarity of routes and destinations. I'm never quite sure which bus I'm on, and where the stops are, since the bus drivers seem to be operating on a different schedule than what's on the website. In lieu of that, I would like to say that I knew this school was the right fit for me the second I first arrived on campus in the fall of 2019 for my campus tour! Also, there's a convenience store right beside my dorm hall that's perfect for buying groceries, lottery tickets, and more!

    Salem state is a good option if you plan on not living on campus and taking mostly online classes…read more The majority of professors are okay but the school it's self and the people who go here lowkey suck. I was placed in peabody hall this year with no notice that there would be construction directly outside of my dorm for the ENTIRE year. As someone who works full time and usually until 12 am, getting woken up EVERY morning by drilling and beeping sucked. When I contacted housing and the RD of my building about moving dorms I was ghosted. I've gotten food poisoning from the dining hall over 4 times. Everytime I've stepped foot into marsh dining hall, there's been mice. The students here are inconsiderate and if you get asked to do a group project, be prepared to do the bulk of it. Faculty doesn't reach out and help with career guidance upon gradation- you get to figure it all out on your own! If you are just looking for a degree and no community or a miserable college experience Salem State is the place for you!
