Review of Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

from Philadelphia, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania has a diverse student body and well-rounded educators highly experienced in their field of study. The university offers small classes for those who thrive in that type of environment. Kutztown University truly cares about its' students financial capability of attending and will do all they can to ensure you are able to enroll regardless of your financial hardships.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The best tip is to check the background of your potential instructors and talk to those students who have taken the class. It could help you pass with flying colors or fail miserably

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The academic rigor (how hard you push yourself to pass the class) can be rated a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. The professors know you are here to receive an education and it is their job to instruct us. There is no easy ride. They will push you to excellence; after all, their reputation is on the line too.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life at Kutztown University is pretty cool. Of course, all college campuses have parties and the students engage in drinking. But here at KU, there are Party Busses to take you to the parties being hosted off campus and security will make sure you arrive at your dorm safely.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food in the dining hall is your average college stuff. But there are lots of take out restaurants in the area who also deliver and 24 hour diners are around too! All dorms have a kitchen and sometimes the students host chicken wing parties and seafood sales--delish!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

For fun, we hang-out in each others suites or apartments listening to music, playing video games or board games all night, and playing nighttime touch football (guys and girls). Sometimes we form intramural sports teams and go to the gym to play basketball, compete in weightlifting, swim laps. Off campus is fun too! There is a main strip where everyone just hangs out and sometimes a mobile dance club comes to campus for those under 21 years old and sets up shop at the fairgrounds and includes a DJ, lights, everything!

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

If you come to Kutztown University, you definitely get more bang for the buck. It is a mid-sized school with all the amenities of a large college campus. Rolling green hills dot the campus and off-campus living is not very far from the university. Come for a visit!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I have not come across any unusual traditions or locations on campus. The grass between the dorms is freshly cut and looks like it could be the model for any gardener.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Kutztown University is great for those students who come from a high school where everyone knows each other. You will definitely not get lost in the crowd...but it's just the right size to give you the freedom of independence.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Lots of clubs...lots of activities. One club is in particular is cool...The Afterhours Club. This is a club that performs everything from jazz to showtunes, from rap to rock. The best thing is the club is not limited to music majors...anybody can join, and perform!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

KU has greek clubs from the Alphas to the Zetas (literally).

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus safety is tip-top. The campus security and the local police can be considered one big law enforcement entity. This means you are safe on campus and off campus. What a combo!
