As a biology major, my course work is tough as it is. The professors at Shippensburg University challenge their students while still making the course manageable.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Some of the dorms are a little older and outdated but Shippensburg University is taking the initiative to build brand new dorm buildings for their students. They want all of their students to be as comfortable as possible being away from home.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Shippensburg is great which is a large part of choosing a university. You don't want to go to a place that has disgusting food. If I had anything to say it would be that I wish we had more food choices as far as places to eat.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
While there is a police force for the town of Shippensburg there is also a police station on campus with a fully staffed force just for our students.
