It really is a great place to spend your college years. It is full of staff and faculty who truly care about their students. Being an out of state student, I am truly grateful to be a student here at West Chester.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! You are guaranteed to meet people just like you and find your place on campus. The sooner you get involved the better, but it is never too late. Also, always put school first, but it's okay to enjoy yourself sometimes. Your mental health is more important, so make sure to make time for yourself, family and friends.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It really depends what major you are in. Speaking from mine, which is nutrition, it's a lot of work. But depending on how hard you work and the amount of time you put into each class, you'll get but just fine.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I lived in a dorm for two years and I met my absolute best friends. Dorm life is really what you make of it. Go to all events and make yourself known because it will help you meet new people and make new friends and help make your college experience the best it can be.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food was not always the best, but when your busy studying, you'll take what you can get. It will definitely make you appreciate home cooking much more.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a lot to do on and off campus. They have Sykes After Dark on Fridays, and they also show $2 movies all weekend. They have the Rec center which has basketball courts, rock climbing wall, and racket ball courts. They also teach different workout classes during the week. Everyone absolutely loves going into town, because it is so cute. They have shops and restaurants and it is just relaxing to get out and walk around.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
You must check out the arch of the castle building. If you and someone else stand on both ends of the arch and whisper, you can hear it from the other side.
