<p>I am very interested in this school being a biology/pre med student. Their high med school acceptance rates really appeal to me. </p>
<p>I would like to know what the campus life is like though, if its boring,dead,too strict,not fun,super religious,etc, I would like to know. I don't want to be miserable going there despite the great academic opportunities.</p>
<p>You really have to visit and experience it yourself. Can you imagine someone else trying to tell you that a pair of shoes fit great if you don’t try them on yourself? </p>
<p>We visited ENC. The students were very lively and very friendly. Students of all races were mixed together at the dining tables in a very natural way. Students seem happy.</p>
<p>As far as the current “arms race” of spending by colleges on shiny, new student centers, dining halls, recreations centers, dorms and the like, ENC apparently has not gone that route and has instead held tuition costs down. So you will see some aging interiors, including the science building. The library is only about 12 years old and is very nice. The dorms, although not new, are fine.</p>
<p>The public transit subway, the T, is easily in walking distance and students seem to go into Boston (only 6 miles away) regularly. The neighborhood that ENC is in has many options for restaurants, supplies, food take-out/delivery, etc. It’s a very good set up for a college student. And Wollaston beach is only 2 blocks from campus.</p>
<p>There is required chapel twice a week. You should understand ENC’s lifestyle rules.</p>
<p>They have a study room available open 24 hours a day in the library building, and it seems students work pretty hard on their studies. And they are currently building a social hall, also to be open 24 hours a day, in the lower level of one of the dorms.</p>
<p>As far as your other questions, hopefully a current student or alum will chime in. Also, they do offer an overnight stay option for prospective students.</p>
<p>I’m a Freshman at Eastern Nazarene College this year. I’m so excited to finally be able to attend this school; I’m so thankful for the opportunity I’ve been given.</p>
<p>nyquist is dead on with many of his or her statements.</p>
<p>ENC is so diverse. There are 28 different nations represented on campus. Everyone gets along well with everyone and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who is hostile toward another.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking about Pre-Med, ENC should definitely be on of your top choices. ENC has a 94% acceptance into Medical School. </p>
<p>There is a 13:1 student to faculty ratio and just more than 1,000 students. You most likely won’t find these numbers anywhere else. You will have small classes which most people love. The professor’s actually know YOU. They know you by face and by name. You aren’t just another student on the attendance list. It’s so much more beneficial than being in a class with hundreds of students.</p>
<p>Campus life in general is great. I will admit that the dormitories are not the best. If you want a newly renovated, top-notch dorm, don’t come to ENC. They do get the job done, though. The girls dorm’s are nicer than the guys’, as well. If you get to stay in Spange Hall, you’ll have a very nice sized room. And when you become a Junior, you can enter a lottery to get a room in Young Apartments which is an apartment building on campus that is owned by the college. It costs a little more, but it’s totally worth it. You have a kitchen and two rooms. And the best part, there is air conditioning in Young. You can’t live there until your Junior and Senior years, though.</p>
<p>And Nease Library is awesome. There are 115,000 books. It’s just a nice place to hang out and the staff is very friendly.</p>
<p>One of the best parts? We’re only 6 miles from downtown Boston! The Wollaston ‘T’ station is literally a 12-15 minute walk.</p>
<p>So, all in all, I definitely recommend ENC. If you have any other questions, please ask.</p>
