Despite being one of the largest universities in metro Boston, Suffolk faculty and administrators know students by name. They take the time to get to know students, and help them realize their full potential through strong mentoring relationships. In this supportive, collaborative environment, students are encouraged to actively participate in critical thinking and problem solving. Suffolk is a place where students find their purpose. Graduates have gone on to be successful and conscientious citizens, holding leadership positions in business, law, public service, science, and the arts. Over 90% of graduates have gone on to full time employment or continuing education after completing their undergraduate programs, and held positions with employers such as Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Boston Red Sox, Liberty Mutual and PWC.
90 percent of freshman and a quarter of all undergraduates live on campus. Students can participate in a wide range of organizations, including a classical music ensemble, entrepreneurship club, environmental club, fashion industry network, performing arts office, jazz ensemble, and much more.
