    Salem State University was an excellent choice for me for school. It is close to home and I have met a lot of awesome people and lifelong friends with both students and faculty. There are a lot of majors to choose from so don't worry if you can't decide yet.

    I believe SSU is a very open campus. It is very diverse compared to my last school. It also has many more options on things you can do to succeed.
