I liked how small the school and campus were. It has a very homey feel to it. With the school being as small as it is, professors are very connected and available for one-on-one time with their students. It was easy to get in contact with professors during and out of school hours. My advisor was very understanding of my schedule due to sports and helped me arrange my classes as best as she could. It was fairly easy to set up meetings with my advisor about urgent matters regarding my class schedule and other academic needs. Everyone on campus is very connected and helpful throughout the campus. I always felt very welcomed and included in things in and around campus. I liked the close proximity from the housing buildings to the classrooms. It is an easy 3 minute walk to any classroom on campus from your dorms. Campus can be completely navigated without a car. The campus provides a lot of amenities to their students. Such as gym, cardio rooms, study room, free tutors, game room and more!
My experience has been alright with Potomac State. I would recommend because it's a community College and cheaper, however you get what you pay for. The WVU hub is a nightmare to navigate, I have been given several different answers to the same questions. The professors are okay, mainly there for a paycheck. The dormitory has a lot of fighting going on. I am finishing my first two years in a year so I can move on from this college.
Smaller campus all faculty knew students individually and it makes for a great college experience! Faculty is always there to help and wants the students to succeed.
