Point Park has a very small campus in downtown Pittsburgh, but the school tries to make it as much like a college campus as they can constantly making improvements. The price really puts people away, but thats the cost for a school that needs equipment for performing arts majors. The students that go here all share a passion in something that you won't just find in high school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The campus isn't exactly prime real estate, but if Point Park has the major you are looking for it is totally worth it. You will learn a lot more than you think. Also, all of the people you go to class with are just as passionate for the subject as you (hopefully) are.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The teachers are all passionate being that they have all worked in the field in which they teach. It makes the learning experience much better because they give very good constructive criticism. Not to mention they really know what they are talking about. A good way to put it is that they teach from experience, not from a book.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It's really hot during the summer. That is, if you live in Lawrence. There are two dorm buildings: Lawrence and Thayer. Thayer has air conditioning while Lawrence doesn't. With a few fans it's not unbearable.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria is sponsored by Aramark sooooooo. . . .yeah. The cafe serves made to order food until 11:30 which is one of my favorite things about this school ; ) I get meals late at night all the time. I
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Station square is right across the river and not even a 10 minute walk. Also market square is right down the street. There are a ton of restaurants everywhere. We also get into several museums for free. Since the Pirates aren't really that good, tickets to the baseball game are very cheap.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is incredibly expensive, but I know being a Cinema major they put a lot of money into equipment.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The main focus, or reputation rather, is on the performing arts schools. They have a lot of other majors in business and education, but they are definitely known for dance.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
They are countless clubs. They are very enthusiastic about getting people to join.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They are campus cops all around and are a phone call away. They typically patrol the campus 24/7. To and from classes, in buildings, pretty much everywhere. It really helps make the campus a safer place being int he city.
