Clark is a small liberal arts college paired with a larger research university. The school stresses to students the importance of making the world a better place and professors push their students inside of the classroom. Student growth is the emphasis throughout academics and students are pushed to work outside the classroom. Social life revolves around clubs, as Greek life is non-existent, and the student body is a tight-knit community full of passionate people.
