As a dual enrollment student who has taken online classes from high school, I’d say the professors are a hit or miss. Some classes aren’t very challenging but some 100 levels should really be labeled 300. I’d suggest looking up your professors on ratemyprofessor. Most of the time you will have good luck and get a good education!
I just graduated from CUP in May 2018. My experience was wonderful. Yes I have had some rough and rocky times but who hasn't in college?! I loved how it was located in a small town, had small class sizes, and how it was such a warm and welcoming community on and off campus. Classes/professors; some are hard and then some professors are better than others. Most are concerned with individual success which is what I liked best. Food; we have different selections for food around campus which is great but of course the quality could be better. People/Environment; since CUP is such a small community everyone knows everyone which is good when all of the students are trying to succeed. Clubs; CUP has so many clubs and organizations that you will never be bored! From Greek life to rock climbing to clubs within your major! Overall, I loved Clarion but you have to have a certain personality to be happy with this college: welcoming, adventurous, caring, and willing to get involved.
I have had an amazing experience here at Clarion University. It truly in community oriented and I feel like I am at home here away from home. The professors care about each and every one of their students and wants them to succeed. I have also met the best of friends being here. There are also many ways to get involved on and off campus. There are a ton of activities, cubs, teams, and more. Some of my favorites are being a part of the Hip Hop Dance Team, SAM & SHRM, and the RELAY for life events. There are so much more that I love as well.
