Review of Chatham University

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Classes are very nice. I am only taking first year courses at the moment, but everything I am learning is either going to be beneficial to me in the real world, or help me in my career. It is nice because if Chatham doesn't offer the class you want, you can duel-enroll with any of the classes that Pitt offers!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is so much to do on and off campus. Even the classes are fun. If you are willing to apply yourself and try new things, you'll never be bored or unhappy here.

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

Chatham is an expensive school. There is no doubt about that. When we got our bill, it was estimated to be about 21k a semester. If you want to go here and don't want to drown in debt, GET EVERY SCHOLARSHIP YOU CAN! Or get a job. There are absurd amounts of jobs offered on campus alone. Whatever you do, stay on top of your FAFSA and budget! Also, you get a laptop for free, so if you're planning on coming here, skip out on buying a new one and enjoy a new Macbook Pro! (All maintenance is done for free as well if you ever have a problem!)

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

-Budget and get as many scholarships as you can. -Engage the campus if you're coming! -Get to know your professors on a personal level. -Make friends with the library workers, maintenance workers, and the higher-ups. It's a small school and the more people you know, the better off you are when you're in trouble.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-This school is great for anyone who cares about the environment (it's extraordinarily involved with going green). -It is an all women college, but the graduate classes ARE co-ed. There ARE men on campus. But they are not as abundant as women. -Don't come here if you're looking for a partying school. It is a fun place, but it is more academic than anything. This is a place for serious women who want to learn how to be leaders!
