Framingham State University was the best choice i could have ever made! I remembering touring the campus and immediately feeling like this was the right fit for me. The resources and tools to succeed are numerous, i’m so grateful for all the support that i have gotten from my professors and the university itself. Definitely consider it
If you plan to major in psychology, this place will not challenge you or give you decent professors. You will often get the kind of professors who read directly from the textbook chapter you were assigned to read for homework after the previous class. However, the biology, nutrition, and creative arts courses I took were fairly fulfilling and taught by competent, engaging professors. In terms of its psychology program, this university does not challenge you or prepare you for any kind of graduate school or doctoral program. That being said, based on the courses I've taken in Biology and Nutrition, and from friends who have majored in these fields at Framingham State, the Biology and Nutrition departments deliver a fairly solid education for the the reasonable price the school charges per course.
Framingham State was not my top choice of colleges, but there is no where else I would rather be. As a political science major, I know most of my professors who are very encouraging. We have a beautiful green campus where classes are near each other. You can see a very diverse group of students which is comforting following the racist events that happened here. As for the administration, I feel they could have done a bit more to punish those who carried out the racist attacks but the staff has tried their best to offer and understand the students struggles. One thing that this school does lack is a diversity in food. It seems like we have chicken almost every day, but the vegan and vegetarian options are good. Overall I really do like this school and I am beyond happy I ended up here because the opportunities it had given me like internships, international group projects and study abroad opportunities that are all helping me work towards my career goal.
