Great professors, good variety of majors, great resources. It is a relaxed campus setting, meaning you can do your own thing, provided your own thing isn't too loud or obnoxious, as most students here enjoy the quiet and ability to rest/study when they want. Food is average, but from what I hear, that's high praise for college cafeterias. While it is a safe quiet campus, some things are taken too far, like desk assistants now having to work until 3 am on school nights. Overall, love it here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
ASK QUESTIONS!! Don't be shy, You can have a great time, but if you are a party machine, this is not the place.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depends on major, workload is very manageable, must have self discipline to succeed. Plenty of places to get some quiet study time if you have a roomie.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Get a room in the old style dorms. Concrete walls keeps noise to a minimum. New style suite rooms are smaller, more expensive, and have paper thin walls.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Meh.....average food, except for the lunch truck, which is kinda awesome.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Visit Lancaster town, outlets. Nearby fishing. LOTS of on campus activities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Very good, personal instruction. Would give it 5 stars except for the pay per credit scam, which not only makes it highest tuition in PASSHE, but if you choose an exploratory class and drop it (say you take 17 credits, you pay for the last 5 as additional credits), and drop the class because it doesn't interest you, you still pay for full class. Other PASSHE schools let you take up to 18 credits, no charge, so you can explore new things without a financial risk.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Swans. And the most obnoxious squirrels in the world.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Outgoing but relaxed. Not great if undecided on a major because of the pay for credit scam.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Ridiculous amount of over-protectiveness. Actually, you should have no worries here. Campus police are actually helpful most of the time, but DO NOT speed or cruise a stop sign on campus.
