I really love Plymouth State University, it truly is a home away from home! I met many great people and new lifelong friends, especially my amazing roommate! I was initially very nervous about going to a new place, especially a college, but living on campus is a fantastic experience. One I'll truly never forget, there are many great activities to participate in such as the hammocking club. SOAR (outdoor activities), PSU gaming club, intermural sports, Esports, and so much more! Not to mention their fitness facilities are state of the art along with a robotics lab is getting put in! Plymouth State truly is a fantastic place, especially within the Criminal Justice and Forensic. The only thing that would be nice to change is the parking situation since Plymouth is remote, parking is very difficult at times. I feel there should be more parking areas, and Plymouth UPD should be more flexible at times.
I’ve been at Plymouth since late August studying a new program and involved in sports. I’ve come home 1 time which and loving it! I’ve had great experiences with other teammates, coaches and faculty. Besides that I’ve also made friends outside of that and it has made the transition easier. Dorms are dorms depending on where you are at, you can party or not and there has never been a problem. Downtown is safe with plenty of food options besides your dinning hall which I don’t mind. The transition will always be easier if you meet people and make friends and of course a car helps but there is transportation to get you to Walmart that’s 10 minutes away, I can’t wait for the winter to find some time to hit the slopes. If your looking for a small to mid school in a safe area and not in a big city fan then this is for you!
Plymouth state is the best college in New England! Its located in scenic NH with a small-town feel. Most of the town is made up of PSU students, so local companies cater to and hire mostly students! The food on campus was my favorite thing about my day-to-day schedule, the dining hall always has something different, and if it's something you don't like they have a pizza station, a pasta station, and a grill station with all normal items! There's a Starbucks in the library, which has a whole floor of independent study rooms for students to use to their advantage. Residential life was amazing; I stayed in Pemi and the doubles were huge compared to all the other colleges I toured. I have taken tours all around the country, but PSU stuck out as the best one, hence why I enjoyed all of my four years here. The community is great and you feel like you belong there from the second you step on campus.
