Review of California University of Pennsylvania

from pittsburgh, PA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

At California University of P.A. you will come across many professors that push you to not only learn but understand what you are learning and apply it in your everyday life. Cal U professors are among the best I have ever come across and seem to truly care about their students and there individual success.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

One word comes to mind when describing my feeling of being here at Cal U-Love. It is tucked in a rural area of western P.A., far enough away from the hustle and bustle of a big city, but close enough to Pittsburgh for a weekend visit. California University of P.A. has a beautiful campus that is complimented by a nice small town where there is always something going on. The people at this school are always very friendly and making friends here is one of the easiest things to do, just make sure you remember to study!

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

You will get you monies worth here. At Cal U you can really see your money being put into action. With the new dorms, which are some of the best I Have ever seen, the brand new gym, scheduled to open this school year, or the parking high rise and convocation center that are currently in construction. Anywhere you look at Cal you can see you money being put to work.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be prepared. This is college now, if your not used to lots of people be ready for some culture shock. But remember everyone else is going through the same thing you are. College is fast paced. There is going to be more work, harder tests, lots of reading, and many new concepts thrown at you even in the first few weeks of school. Remember to try to enter with an open mind and that your professors are always there to help you. Don't be scared and have some fun. While college can be scary at first, coming in with an open mind will really help you make the transition. Sometimes college can seem overwhelming in those first few days or weeks but you will get through it with support from friends, family, and professors. Do not forget to lean on the people who can help you, no one can go at it alone.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students who like a relaxed atmosphere. People who do not want to be too far or close to the city. Great for people who are ready to work hard and succeed. Cal U is a great place for anyone that wants to accept the schools values and have the best four years of their life.
