Alum: I love nearly everything about this school! The sports are great, there are major entertainment events, art and religion are honored, there are over 1,000 student organizations, and I have had incredible professors consistently throughout my years (although peers in other majors did not always say this). In the area, there is hiking, skiing, several summer festivals, several thrift stores, and a high proportion of restaurants with different ethnic cuisines. Recommendation for change are prioritizing updates to dorm buildings and increasing accessibility to groceries downtown, as this is where a large number of students live (without their cars). It has many international students, but is otherwise limited in diversity. It mostly reflects the state/region, so I do not see this as something that necessarily needs to change....

Senior: I LOVE Temple University! Most of my professors have been nice, fair, knowledgeable and even passionate about what they teach. Temple has a gym on campus, which offers group fitness classes including yoga, cycling, and meditation, included in tuition fees. The healthcare I received on campus has always been stellar. The Disability Resource Services offered have been stellar, and the 24-hour TECH Center is a pleasure to spend days in while studying and working on projects. Temple has an app now where you can request a chaperoned walk home in person or virtually, as well as a nightly shuttle that circulates around the edges of campus for those in off-campus housing. Our Marching Band was one of my favorite extra curriculars offering an annual stipend when you join and you get to perform synchronized dances to pop songs at home games on Philly Eagles turf at the LINC. Temple has a strong community feel that makes you want to wear Temple gear and represent no matter your niche. GO OWLS!... Read 5,763 reviews

Sophomore: For a variety of reasons, I like attending Scranton University. I felt an extraordinary sense of belonging and camaraderie the moment I stepped foot on campus. The warm and welcoming climate at the university develops intimate interactions with both peers and instructors, creating a conducive environment for personal growth and academic performance. The wide selection of extracurricular activities and clubs has helped me to pursue my interests and discover new ones, enriching my college experience. Furthermore, the university's commitment to service and social justice resonates well with my ideals, allowing me to make a positive difference in the world.

Junior: Gannon has a lot of great staff/faculty members and opportunities that are made available to virtually everybody on campus. There are lots of sport teams, clubs, and groups that are easy to join and exciting. Every teacher that I have had has been competent, not always enjoyable, but at bare minimum, able to educate their students. My main problem with the school is just how expensive it is. I want to be able to go to school full time, and still have enough money to enjoy my hobbies like fishing, jiu jitsu, hiking, playing instruments, making music, and travelling. Because of the cost of school, it can make it difficult for me to find the time and money to do these things that I also deeple care about.... Read 837 reviews

Alum: Loved my experience at SU! It's such a homey place, with lots of extra curricular options and autonomy in path of study. The power levels are not far apart, the university president is a casual, supportive face you see on campus frequently. The norm established of everyone studying abroad and taking GO classes enhance the entire community's cultural knowledge and appreciation. I will say that living on campus for 4 years and therefore having expensive dining plans made it more expensive, although the food was decent. I love that the school values global citizenship and the environment (hello, solar field). I do wish Susquehanna did better to educate students and community about and honor the indigenous people the school and river it sits near are named after. I am grateful that there have been moves made toward this, but there is a long way to go.... Read 848 reviews

Senior: PSU-Erie is a wonderful school physically and community-wise. The school is just outside of the city and hidden by a plethora of trees and greenery. The plants and trees are well-maintained throughout the year. There is a lot of history at the school which can be seen in some of its paths and older buildings. The school is dedicated to student safety, mental health and success. It is always changing its buildings, activities and courses based off of what their students and families are suggesting. That in itself makes the school a 5/5 . My only issue with having gone to this school is that meal plans were very expensive and did not supply a proper amount of food for student sustenance. I am hoping this is something the school looks into and changes in the coming years. Be sure to tour your residents halls before accepting one! Some do not have A/C, and summers can get quite muggy in the area.... Read 849 reviews

Sophomore: My overall experience with Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) has been incredibly rewarding and enriching. As a student at LCCC, I have had the privilege of being part of a supportive and inclusive community that values education and personal growth. The faculty and staff at LCCC have been dedicated and passionate about their fields of expertise, and their commitment to student success is evident in their teaching and mentorship. One aspect of LCCC that I particularly appreciated was the wide range of academic programs and courses offered. Whether I was interested in pursuing a degree in business, healthcare, or the arts, LCCC provided me with a variety of options to choose from The quality of instruction and the resources available on campus have been top-notch, allowing me to acquire valuable knowledge and skills that will benefit me in my future endeavors. Additionally, LCCC's emphasis on experiential learning and hands-on training has given me practical experience to help me.... Read 366 reviews

Niche User: I have been in the nursing department for a BSN and the only thing I can say is that I am glad I chose this school. At Waynesburg they will teach you the med surg classes, Pathophysiology, pharma etc. But the difference is that they make you think. If you want to be a smart nurse who will keep learning and who will be pushed to be the best nurse as possible, pick Waynesburg. I am glad I did. I work as a nurse now and I have been making great decisions in my shifts - picking up on cues when patients needed higher level of care, emergent interventions etc. That is thanks to Waynesburg! Nursing is not accomplishing tasks and carrying orders, it is about thinking critically. Let these smart teachers give you the best foundations you can get and need and you will be glad you did...

Graduate Student: I hit a few bumps through my undergraduate program and had to take some time off from school. A few years later I returned with renewed vigor for my education. My last three semesters I excelled and received no less than B in my class, but most were A’s. Thanks to the support of my professors and my adviser, I was able to perform at a commendable level! Since graduating in the spring of 2021, I have found a position working in government consulting with an excellent company. I have returned to the Fall 2022 semester as a graduate student in the Master of Professional Studies program with aspirations to go for the doctorates of engineering!... Read 330 reviews
