Review of University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown

from Bethel Park, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

UPJ is a growing college that is continuously expanding among the many acres owned. Huge variety of clubs that make the college experience enjoyable. If I could choose any school to attend, I would not have changed my mind.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Check the campus out for sure, and ask questions to your tour guides and the advisers you meet with. Look up all the clubs that are offered, you will meet your good friends there.

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

It is not that the academics are strict or necessarily hard, but the professors are very thorough with their lessons, and if you are unable to understand a concept the professors will sit with you one on one to help you.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The freshman dorm rooms may be a tight squeeze, but the ski-lodge-like dorm promotes strong social interaction.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

This is a tricky one because I usually make my own food at school, but our school does offer a few great places to eat other than the main cafeteria.

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

Join clubs, I am involved with 3 clubs currently. I would have been involved with more clubs if I had the time. Also, the school has Greek Life which many kids become involved with.

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

The level of help and effective teaching from the professors is an immediate quality that you will not find in larger schools. The food is quality (not jail-like) food, and the school offers many free trips to different cities and a spring concert.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

To the lack of many students knowledge, there is a old cemetery back behind the school, beyond the sports fields, down a bike trail among the many acres for you to explore.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Become involved with clubs.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Previously explained, but once again GET INVOLVED WITH CLUBS!!! The are worth your time, and I promise you will not regret your choices.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is Greek Life on campus, however I do not know how many of each Fraternity/Sorority there are.

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

The cops are friendly and are constantly moving around. If the emergency button is pressed they are quickly on scene. They deserve much respect. (p.s. our campus is very quiet. not many issues.)
