Review of Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

from Hanover, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Shippensburg University offers a quality education that is the best in the area. The school itself is built on pride and has elite professors and students enrolled. The school itslef offers a ton of opportunities (from getting involved in sports, red sea (student section), clubs, greek life ect.) that help to build the future of our community.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Students should learn to value their time and spend it wisely. It takes a little bit of adjusting at first, but it is very important to make sure that you enjoy every second you have in school while managing your time wisely.

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

Shippensburg provides a school environment that pushes their students to reach their potential. The professors are willing to help when a problem arises, but they also expect you to be an adult.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

New dorms were just put up this past year which will allow for a much more modern feel. The dorms are great in the sense that everyone seems to create bonds with people on their floor or in their building.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are two buffet style dining areas for students. I personally think that the food is very good and there is a lot of variety to chose from. There is also a fast food type of building to eat at on campus which gives students the opportunity to grab food before their classes.

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

There are plenty of things to do at Shippensburg. I know a lot of students are involved with clubs, greek life and sports. It is what you make it in that if you sit in your dorm, you obviously will be bored. I am involved with the Red Sea (student section), mini thon, relay for life, internships around campus ect. So I think that if you get involved there really is no issue with finding things to do.

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

Shippensburg is a fairly inexpensive state school which provides a really solid education to their students. I feel as though I get the most out of the money that I pay and I am overal happy with the way that my money is being spent.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are a lot of cool traditions that happen at Shippensburg. One of my favorites from this past year was the pep rally in the Quad area. The band, cheerleaders, football players and administration came to get the team excited about their big upcoming game.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Shippensburg is a great school for education majors and business majors.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are plenty of clubs to get involved in. I feel as though there is a club for every student that comes to Ship.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Although I am not personally involved with Greek Life, I know a lot of students who are, and they all seem to have a positive experience with it.

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

The police on campus do a really nice job of patrolling the area to keep the area safe. There are emergency areas in case a freak accident occurs, but I have never seen anyone use them.
