I am definitely learning a lot of new information in every class. I like most of my teachers, and they're pretty reasonable.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There's a lot of stuff to do here, if you look for it. A lot of activities are free, like the SGA game room, the movie theater (popcorn is a quarter), zumba, yoga, clubs, and other campus activities. The bus is free with your college ID so you can get around campus and go to Erie. There are some cool places in town too, like Earthshine and John's Wildwood Pizza. A lot of people go home on the weekends, but I heard more people stay on campus when it starts to snow and such.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Edinboro's a state school, so you're already saving money. This is especially true if you are a PA resident. I am not eligible for financial aid, so this school is pretty close to my price range. Just be careful when buying drinks outside Van Houten (the buffet style place) because pepsi products are not covered on the meal plan and you could accidentally deplete your flex (your extra cash on your ID). I also recommend traditional housing over the Highlands. Earp and Dearborn are built a lot better, and my floor actually is a community. It's cheaper, and in some cases, our bathrooms are cleaner. Also, they told me that if I visited Edinboro, they would waive my application fee.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early even if you're not sure if you want to go here or not yet, especially if they waive your application fee. Also, try to get your housing contract in as soon as possible. I specifically wanted to live on the Honors Living Learning floor, so I sent mine in within a week. Leave your door open when you can so that you can get to know your neighbors. During freshmen common hour, they will encourage you to meet your advisor before you have to find him or her for registration down the line. Do it. Make sure you show up for class as much as possible, because a lot of my teachers will start lowering your grade if you miss more than three days. If you have any AP or College in High School credits, make sure you have them sent in as soon as possible, as in the beginning of summer.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is very well set up for handicapped students. There are also great programs for nursing, teaching, and a fairly large art program. The Edinboro art department is set up so your portfolio review is during your sophomore year (called candidacy). This levels the playing field because no two high school art programs are the same. EUP is not located in a city, so it's pretty quiet around here. If you can't afford a private college but don't want to go to community college, try Edinboro out. Great things happen here!
