Review of Gannon University

from Pittsburgh, PA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have learned so much in and out of the classroom. Professors go out of their way to make sure you are learning as much as you can about a particular subject and they keep their curriculum up-to-date. Volunteer activities, seminars, speakers, and programs offer a wide variety of leaning opportunities outside of classes.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Everyone is very friendly and there is a welcoming atmosphere. However, if partying is not your thing, weekends can be very boring sometimes.

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

For the most part your money gets you a lot. The ITS department and Metz Dining Services are they only areas where I feel like I pay too much for what I get.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Talk to people. You never know who might become your friends and everyone has something to teach you, whether it's big or small. Have fun but be responsible because one night of fun is not worth throwing away years of hard work. Organization is extremely helpful so you don't forget meetings and deadlines. Also, take Prior for philosophy if you can!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The best students at Gannon are hard-working and determined. They want to be the best in their field and don't need to be told to study. Students who don't procrastinate and manage their time well will do very well here.
