I have taken one semester so far at Shepherd University and I love attending! I would highly recommend any student interested in furthering their education at this University. I am an Elementary Education major and so far all the students, staff and advisors have been extremally helpful through the college experience. The campus has a large selection of on campus activities that are fun safe and help you meet new people. I give Shepherd University 5 out 5 stars and I love attending here! Go Rams!
My experience so far has been very beneficial. The professors are not only focused on us getting good grades but also being able to use what we are learning to help us become better in our chosen fields of study. The campus is located in a small quiet town that makes students feel safe to walk around in when they are going to class. The extra curricular activities give students a chance to connect with other students who have the same interests, and they give students the chance to grow their skills within a community of people. The campus even has events/activities that anybody can take part in including members of the shepherdstown community. There is bound to be something for everyone at Shepherd University.
Honestly love everything about about this school so far. As a freshman, I am still trying to find my way around campus because there is so much to it. One thing I would like to see change in is more activities for everyone to be apart of. I think it’s the perfect opportunity for everyone to socialize and get to know their peers!
