RMU Colonial's Review

Review of Robert Morris University

Describe your college in three sentences.

loads of opportunities for work study, internships, and extra curriculars. but, academics are front and center and are led by world class faculty. there is a lot of financial aid available, too!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1) be sure you understand the requirements for your major. 2) get to know your professors. they are always helpful and want you to do well! 3) rmu is commuter friendly, so check out off campus housing before you plonk down a huge chunk of change for a dorm. 4) there is something here for everyone. get involved in one of the campus groups. we have everything from bible studies to swing dances- and yes, greek life too.

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

almost every professor is absolutely wonderful, but you need to watch out for the occasional part-time professor that isn't as good as he or she could be. stick with professors with a proven track record.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

personally, i had a bad experience living on campus. not everyone does, but after my freshman year i moved off campus. the facilities are nice, though. my main issue is that my room mate was pretty bad, but if i'd had a different room mate my experience could have been much better.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

fabulous! there is always a healthy option at one of the 3 on-campus eateries and tons of variety.

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

there is scheduled programming on campus every friday night. also, the rmu island sport center is just a minute from campus and offers free or steeply discounted ice skating, golfing, bowling, and much more.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

tuition and fees are very reasonable for a private school this size, and financial aid isn't stingy. but, housing and meal plans are a little expensive.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

business, communication, and science majors like engineering and nursing.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there is literally a club for everything- clubs for different majors, interests, advocacy...you name it, it's here.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

greek organizations are pretty active on campus.

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

rmu campus police are amazing. they are very helpful and have an active presence not only on campus but also in the township. they do everything from parking permits and law enforcement to emergency services like unlocking your car (been there) and jump starts.
