I believe Point Park is an excellent University. The school has an amazing Dance and Performing Arts program there. The school as a whole is just great and I am so glad that I decided to go there.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
~For upcoming students I would definitely watch for the professors you have. Some professors are amazing and some are not so great.
~Make sure you have a reasonable schedule. Don't cram a ton of classes in your first semester.
~Make sure your classes are at a decent time so you know you can get to them.
~Most importantly TALK TO YOUR PROFESSORS!!! The school sends you a book list but not all teachers use the book.
~Try to meet as many people there during your first semester.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I believe the academics there are amazing in some aspects but they aren't so good in others. Some of the teachers definitely need to re-amp their teaching. There are some that fool around in class and don't really teach and others that go into teaching overdrive the week before finals and cram 4 chapters into a 2 hour class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life is AMAZING! Hands down the best idea I have ever had. The days that I am there I absolutely love it. They have quiet hours during the week for those that have early classes and need to get their sleep but they are also reasonable for the night owls! I feel really safe there especially at night. They have campus police do rounds on each floor during the night which makes everyone feel a lot safer!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food there is good some days and not so good on others. The Cafe has good food there all the time but that is cash, meal exchange (only done during certain hours), or flex. They have a wide variety of food. The Cafeteria is good on most days and is used with your meal plan and is all you can eat. The only down fall is that if you commute and do not get a meal plan then it is kind of expensive to eat there.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I take the Zumba class on occasion. I absolutely love Zumba and think that it's great they offer it to the students there for free.
I also go to the gym that is there sometimes which is really welcoming and nice.
They also have the rec room with computers, TV, ping pong tables, and pool tables.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I think that it is a great place for those like me that went to a small private school because it is a big school but isn't huge. I believe there are a little over 4000 students there this year. I also think that it is a great school for performing arts people. Especially dancers being that it is the second top dance school in the country!
Also for any homosexuals out there they are very accepting and I believe they won an award for the being this way.
