Clark University’s “tree-lined, 50-acre campus, which features both distinguished ivy-covered buildings and high-quality modern facilities” is in Worcester, MA (pronounced woos' ter), a city of over 175,000 about an hour west of Boston.  The University considers itself both a liberal arts college and a research university.  It offers 32 undergraduate majors, with the most popular being Psychology, Political Science and Business Management.  The school has one of the nation’s top geography programs. Clark University offers an accelerated five-year Bachelor’s/Master’s program with the fifth-year tuition free if the student has a high GPA during undergraduate years two, three and four.  The Model UN team at the school is one of the best in the country.  Clark does not have any sororities or fraternities and requires students to live on-campus during the first two-years. Seventy-six percent of Clark students live on campus.The urban campus gives some students concerns about security but others report that it is not a problem. Thirty-five percent of the undergraduates are from Massachusetts.  College Prowler, the student review web site, gives Clark’s Campus Dining a grade of C-, Campus Housing a grade of  B and Diversity a grade of B.
