I transferred out of Indiana University of Pennsylvania because it was an awful school. Once I was accepted at Kutztown, I didn't know what to expect. On the very first day of classes, I could tell things here were so much different. Academics here ARE very important, and professors have equal respect for you and really do care about how you do in their class. They let you know that they are always ready to help you and to never feel like a question you may ask is going to be stupid. Believe me, this school is the place to go if your looking for an affordable state school that is challenging.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Since fall semester had started, I easily made friends within the first week, and am now part of the greek organization Delta Zeta (a national sorority). Greek life has truly involved me in many volunteering oppurtunities which benefit me in the long run.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This university is definitely worth the money. I for one, pay for my own tuition. I have no money whatsoever, and am paying with every dime I make in my own job. For a 19 year old college student, this is very difficult. The only reason I haven't left this school yet is because of how amazing and worth it the university really is. I am in the process of getting another job that way I can hopefully pay off more of my tuition. For those of you who are fortunate enough to take out a loan, or have your parents assist you with paying tuition, then you are very lucky and should definitely still consider Kutztown University. An overall AMAZING school!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always keep this in mind; You are here for your education, not for anything else. I realize it is fun once in a while to go out and have a good time, however don't let this take over your life. A few of my own friends have made the mistake of enjoying college a little too much and now completely regret it. Not only have they lowered their gpa, but they are on academic probation and were kicked out of their own majors, as well as losing friends due to inappropriate actions while intoxicated. Be smart, not dumb!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
EVERYONE! Take my word, you will all love this university. Kutztown is the way to go!
