It's much different than a typical campus because it is right in downtown Pittsburgh, so it is a much different experience than campus life at a typical campus college. The class sizes are small and it makes it much easier to communicate with your teacher. Point Park is very much an arts school and concentrates very strongly on majors such as dance, musical theatre, or media communications
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If your not to fond of the arts Point Park may not be the school for you. Point Park does offer other majors besides the arts but I do not feel as if they are as strong or as noticed. Point Park is an excellent school and you should definitely look into it!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at Point Park are not extremely difficult if you put a good effort into them. Many of the teachers are very relaxed and will be willing to work with you if you are having problems in their class. Overall I believe that Point Park is very good overall academically.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great! Point Park really makes an effort for new students to meet new people. There are living and learning communities that adhere the students interests and allow students to meet people with the same interests as themselves. There are also many activities that Point Park plans for new students that are great for meeting new friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are two places a student can get food at Point Park, the cafeteria and the cafe. I would not recommend the cafeteria. The food wasn't anything great and sometimes was just bad. On the other hand the food at the cafe is really great and I would definitely recommend it!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is so much to do in downtown. There are many restaurants as well as different activities such as dancing, biking, or even just exploring downtown. It is all what you make of it. Oakland is just a short shuttle ride (the Point Park provides free) away with even more activities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Point Park may seem expensive when first applying, but really they do provide a lot of help to students making it much more affordable than many other colleges.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Point Park is excellent for dance students, musical theatre, etc.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is an excellent selection of clubs and sports that would appeal to all students no matter what their interest!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Point Park has their own police force right on campus that is constantly patrolling. There is security in every buildings entrance to provide extra security.
