Edinboro, PA
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania

I am accepted as a freshman at Edinboro University for the Fall of 2020. However, I’ve had the pleasure of attending four summer’s worth of band camps through Edgewood Sr. High School. So essentially, I have spent one month “living” on campus. The dorm rooms were nicer than what I had pictured in my mind. They were more like little apartments than the one room dorms I had stayed in during cheer camp. I was so impressed with the culture and upkeep of the campus that it ended up being my top choice for colleges. The summer resident advisors living in the dorms were super helpful and encouraged us to explore the campus pool, bookstore and soccer areas during our break times. The campus is a medium sized campus so it’s fairly easy to walk to any destination. The only part of Edinboro I was not thrilled with was their dining services. However, I’m sure most college campuses serve “crowd pleasers” like greasy hamburgers, pizza and fries. At least they offered a fresh salad bar each day! I’m sure over the next school year I will adapt to the menu! Additionally, my mom and I attended Edinboro’s Open House last summer and I was able to meet with professors and current students in my field of study. This visit cemented my desire to attend the university. Due to Covid 19 I am missing out on the ending of my senior year but planning my freshman year at Edinboro has kept my spirits up!

I like Edinboro and there are some great people here. You just have to be willing to put yourself out there and be willing to make the best of your time here in order to make the most of being here. Get to know others while you are and get to know the advisers, they are here to help and want to see you succeed.

There’s something about Edinboro University that makes it feel like home. Maybe it’s the people that work in the dining hall that know students by name and ask them how their doing. Maybe it’s the way the university embraces artists, encouraging them to get their work in their on-campus galleries. Maybe it’s the faculty that want students to ask questions and be there to assist them whenever they can. Maybe it’s the diversity here that brings so much life and culture around students. Maybe it’s the community around the university that come to every game to cheer students on and offer discounts to them because they care. Maybe it’s the university itself, offering a long list of majors and programs to every type of student, young or old, to gain knowledge. Maybe it’s the students themselves who join to create clubs for every interest or offer advice and support for new students. Maybe it’s the eco-friendly attitude that the university upholds by composting and having a garden where most of their produce comes from. Maybe it’s the four seasons cycle the area has, offering perfect winter weather or perfect summer weather. Maybe it’s the financial offices that have days for students to come in and speak with them about their options and opportunities, face to face. Maybe it’s the study abroad programs that offer students of every major to experience the world. Maybe it’s just Edinboro University being a place that values every student and wanting that student to succeed.

I absolutely love Edinboro! It's truly the only place where they make college feel like home. The professors are great and they make you want to attend class. The atmosphere is so friendly! Within the first week I made so many new friends. I'm proud to be a fighting scot!

Even though I have only attended this school for a rather short period of time, my experience has been more pleasant than not. My professors have been available to me and have seemed like they truly want me to succeed. My classes have been challenging me, but I'm learning a lot and that's why I'm going to college. This university's education program is great and I can't wait to continue my education at Edinboro University.

Edinboro University is really fun and active in the community. Every second is fun yet they are also very well educating. I'm always excited to learn and get up in the morning to see what today brings me since having started attending Edinboro University. I'm glad to have chosen to attend Edinboro University.

I love Edinboro University. The first college I ever visited, and I applied and got in, and then enrolled and never looked back.

Edinboro University not only offers a truly great education at an affordable price, it is a home away from home. It is a place that has a place for everyone. Staff will go above and beyond to make a student feel comfortable and engaged. Labs are accessible and well appointed. Academic success is achievable for every major.

Edinboro University was the only school that felt like home when I toured campus. The campus is beautiful, the layout is just amazing. The dorms are astonishing, having many options to choose from. The town around Edinboro is small but gives off a very home like essence.

Edinboro is a great school. It met my expectations of what college was going to be like. You can't blame the college for having alcohol or drugs on their campus. Young adults will be sneaky young adults, and although the school is technically in charge of them, they don't entirely control them. So with that in mind, Edinboro has all of the basic needs that incoming students would value and great food that won't make you regret gaining the freshman fifteen. The people here are kind and the teachers are dedicated to the student's success.
