Review of Pittsburg State University

from Pittsburg, KS

Describe your college in three sentences.

Pittsburg State University is a melting pot of people from all over the world. There is music program of well-rounded, cultured, unique individuals. The people are accepting and approachable.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

There is some reading involved and you should be studious and focused.

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

The professors are friendly and fun. Many interesting classes are offered.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are located directly on campus, which will make the trip to school, well, free! I've heard good things about them. Though they are old, they are solid places to live. I've heard complaints from people who live in surrounding towns and drive distances each day to come to school that the parking has unreasonable standards.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I've heard around the community that there's a vast majority of food to choose from in the cafeteria. The best Chinese places on earth are here in town and close to the university.

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

The only downside of going to this school is that it's not very cultural. Yes, there are many types of people who live in town, but there are not many particular places to go. There are some hiking trails and a few places to eat. Other than that, it's not the most fun place to go to school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is good for students raised in rural towns who are used to fluctuating weather. It's also good for people who are easily distracted. Since there's no beaches or clubs nearby, it's easy to focus purely on academics.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

From students, I've heard that there are a lot of clubs offered. There's an anime club and an auto-mechanics club. There are lots of fun ways of putting ads out there. For example, Mean Girls was showing in an auditorium. One day, some friends and I were just strolling around the university to find a bra in a tree. We laughed, took pictures, and realized there was a note on the bra. It said the location and time of Mean Girls movie showing. The students are studious, but still creative and funny.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are many sororities and fraternities at this college. They are loud. That's about all I know.

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

I see the college sheriff trucks quite often and they seem to keep a good eye on people. For the most part, Pittsburg is a quiet town without too many safety issues. I've walked around at night before and never felt threatened.
