Absolute best decision I have ever made. There is something for everyone here, and as long as you get involved you will find your place. I could rave about Merrimack forever, it is my home away from home and the people I have met here have truly changed my life for good.

Internet is eh, i disconnect a lot in the library studying, which makes no sense considering thats where the wifi should be the strongest. The food is decent, its edible. Some places are better than others.

I am actually upset reading some of theses ratings, and I definitely can't fit my rating in just 350 characters so I will be posting more. I LOVE Merrimack. I was originally attracted to the community and that is why I chose to come here. I feel as though the school challenges me academically and prepares me very well for whats to come after.

If youre looking for a good education, a good social life, and happiness overall, DO. NOT. GO. HERE. This place is the most depressing, sad, excuse for a college. If you want to live a happy life, DONT GO HERE.

Unless you are on a sports team, or are a rich kid that likes to be a part of exclusive cliques, you won't like it. Campus is tiny, and there is not much to do, and Boston is too far and inaccessible unless you have a vehicle or $30 to take the Commuter Rail. The surrounding town is boring.
