Is Clark right for me?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Clark University
1

<p>I was having college search trouble, and someone on this website recommended Clark University. After some research I have decided that I am intrigued, but I am still not sure that Clark University would be a good "fit" for me. What do you Clarkies think?</p>

<p>About me:
Gender: Female
State: Tennessee
Sexual Orientation: Asexual
Parties or drinks: No
Personality type: INTJ (the mastermind)
Religion: Still searching. I've been a Presbyterian, a Catholic, a Wiccan, an atheist, a Gnostic Christian, a Muslim, and a Deist. I love learning about different religions.
Politics: I'm a left-leaning moderate who REALLY doesn't want to go to a conservative school.</p>

<p>About me as a student:
Probability of admission to Clark, based on stats/grades: 50-60%
Prospective major: Psychology
Family income: $40,000 per year</p>

<p>What I'm looking for in a college:
Small size (<3,000 students)
Small classes
A diverse, welcoming, liberal student body
Disability services for my Asperger's
Decent dorms
Engaged professors
Undergraduate research opportunities
Dedication to the liberal arts
A safe campus </p>

<p>Eventual career goal:
I want to have a PhD in psychology that allows me to work with autistic people through research, therapy, or advocacy.</p>

<p>I do not personally know much about Clark but it’s listed on this site as a good college for students with Asperger’s</p>

<p>I think a very good fit. I’m an alum, and my daughter is now a sophomore [History major, Education minor; plans to stay for a 5th-year, tuition-free Master of Arts in Teaching, if all goes well]. I also volunteer for the admissions department as a college fair rep, high school liaison, and interviewer of prospective students. Send me a PM and I’ll send you my daughter’s email address. You can get her direct feedback, and she can, in turn, put you in touch with current Psych majors.</p>

<p>One of the best Psychology schools in the country. I heard the current department head speak prior to my daughter’s enrollment and found him to be most impressive.</p>

<p>And I think you’ll have a geographic advantage, being from Tennessee.</p>
