Shippensburg is an affordable school with much to offer. Their business programs are the soul of the school's education, leaving not as much for the arts. Regardless of this fact, there are many opportunities for meeting new people and doing things on and around campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would recommend this school especially for students wishing to get a degree in business, and dual degrees.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The amount of work you need to put into a class highly depends on the professor.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I was fortunate enough to room in a dorm with someone who is quiet and a little strange, like me. The behavior of some of the other students in my building act very loud and obnoxious late at night. Late Tuesday night, as soon as it turned midnight, I heard a student yell out of his window, HUMP DAY, which was followed by other kids yelling from their windows. This would have bothered me if I was trying to sleep, but since I wasn't, I found it pretty amusing. An email was sent out the one day warning people of write-ups, because some students threw a mattress out of a window...
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food's alright. There are two dining halls placed on either sides of campus, and in the CUB building in the center of the campus you can get some food and either eat there or take it with you. Good for students on the run, because it's open later than the dining halls.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's not much to do around town aside from going to the mall. The best bet for having things to do is by joining a club, like the adventure club, which organizes hiking trips and other fun things. There are also many activities that take place on campus nearly every day. In the CUB building, there is even a little theater that plays movies before they come out on DVD, and it's free!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As far as tuition goes, it's a really affordable education, but the school has a very small and shrinking programs for the arts.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for any type of student!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a lot to do on campus if you know where to find it, and step out of your comfort zone to meet new people!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I've never had any problems with anyone, or even walking back to my dorm at night. People are pretty good at caring for each other. The campus police station is on campus, and they can be seen patrolling pretty often.
