About
Clark University is a liberal arts-based research university where passion meets possibility. Here is where Robert Goddard invented the modern rocket and where Sigmund Freud delivered his only lectures in the United States. At Clark we live our motto — "Challenge Convention. Change Our World." — which is the rallying cry that inspires our community every day. Clark's pioneering education model combines rigorous academics with world and workplace experiences so our students can be imaginative and contributing citizens, advance the frontiers of knowledge and understanding, and shape a life and career on their own terms. A Clark student regards the status quo and says, "I can do better."

Clark University Reviews
However, the size of the school can be a bit of a downside when it comes to social life. It feels kind of cliquey sometimes and I've heard many people complain that they struggle to find a sense of community here. Also, there is no Greek life here (whether this is a good or bad thing is up to your discretion, it just means that the parties are pretty lame).
As for the location, a lot of students complain about Worcester but IMO there are a lot of great food options that make it not so bad! The safety of the city can be a bit iffy but Clark has programs in place to ensure student safety.
I would say that overall, academics and professors at Clark are great but quality of life can be a bit hit-or-miss. Personally, I'm very happy with my decision to come here.
Most importantly its not safe - Robery, guns crimes, unsafe area, no campus placement (Not at all)
Clark University epitomizes incompetence and exploitation. As an international student, my time there was an utter disaster. Not only does the university fail miserably in providing any semblance of support for post-graduation employment, but it also shamelessly prioritizes profit over the well-being and education of its students.
What's worse, I faced blatant discrimination from university staff, who displayed outright hostility towards international students. Honest feedback was not just discouraged but actively punished, demonstrating the university's disdain for accountability and improvement.
My time at Clark University was an unmitigated disaster, leaving me feeling cheated and utterly disillusioned. Clark University is a stain on the education system, and prospective students would be wise to avoid it at all costs.
