Review of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

from Milton, PA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

A lot of people seem to find state schools to be cop-out schools. On the contrary, Bloomsburg does provide challenges for those willing to go for it. Certainly there are those easy-A courses, but the majority of the classes really focus on teaching and helping the student RETAIN information. The faculty are almost all willing and eager to help and even take suggestions. Many of my own professors love to find ways to make class fun and interesting.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love my school. The faculty are very personal and the campus is lovely. There are actually quite a few things to do for it being in a relatively small town. The over-all experience is wonderful. Sometimes the students who don't care and always come to class drunk do get annoying. You will find them at most schools, but Bloom does need to, and is currently, working on that problem.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

This school is super affordable and I'm getting a good education. I'm a commuter and it makes it A LOT cheaper, with grants and scholarships helping me only have to pay about 6,000 out of pocket for a full year. The books can be expensive, but they are easliy found online for much cheaper prices. Bloom is an accredited school that provides some wonderful facilities and classes that would cost three times as much at any other school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Try and get to know your faculty and the people around you. Having connections at Bloom will help you through a lot of speed bumps. Also try testing out of whatever you can, it'll get you out of the classes you don't need to take because you could pass them easily and in the end save you money and time. Last but not least, get involved with clubs to up your chances of financial aid and take a well-rounded set of classes to make your resume stand out.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students who want to : teach, be a nurse, major in speech pathology, anthropology, Mass Comm, Comm, and Exercise Science. Great for those who like personal settings; just avoid the lecture halls. Good for those who want to do more than just class-work 100% of their time
