Mansfield University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

The worst thing would be some of the classrooms have poor learning environments and could be updated; such as white boards, computers, and bigger desks.

Honestly, I hate to admit it but unfortunately our campus has a big racial segregation problem. It's difficult for me to feel comfortable as I am a predominately white mixed race, I would love to feel that my class mates are being non-judgmental and have open minds when it comes to meeting new people but sadly that isn’t always the case. It seems like students would actually rather be separated by color than work to put aside cultural differences.

In my opinion, the worst thing about my school that I've experienced is the old dorms. The elevators never work right, some of the water fountains are broke, the showers aren't the cleanest. This is the worst thing I can think of about my school.

First, let me say that this has improved a great deal over the years, but if I could change one thing about Mansfield University, I would make it more culturally aware of non-traditional students. I recently had the experience of having a class time changed without advance notice, which created enormous problems due to my work schedule. There is insufficent parking for commuter students, and some (though certainly not all) of the professors teach classes like they are teaching high school, without recognizing the life experience of older students.

The worst thing about my school is probably it's location, although I do love the rural setting. The problem is is that there isn't much to do in Mansfield, so many students resort to drinking. The biggest attraction if you aren't an outdoorsmen is the Walmart.

I would have to say I would not consider anything at my school the worst thing but I could say by my school being in a town and in the woods area if you do not get involved on campus or even off campus you will find yourself bored or uninterested in the school. However, I would say that is for any college you go to not college is bad it’s just what you make it.

I consider the worst thing about my school is D2L which is an online resource for every class. I do not like this program because I feel as though all of my classes are online. I attend the class ,and all we do is talk there is no work actually being done . Most if not all of my work is supposed to be submitted online through D2L. so what is the purposed of even going to the class?

That there ios a negative image sorrounding the school. The idea is since it is a small school, there is no significants to it. I strongly disagree with this.

The worst thing about Mansfield University has to be the people who do not take care of the stuff and areas that we share.

The worst thing about Mansfield University is that it is located in mountainous regions of Pennsylvania. If you are not use to this kind of area, it will take some getting used to.

There is not much to do on the weekends. Many students leave the campus and go home mainly because of the location of Mansfield and its convenience in location.

It is far away from most things you would consider necessary for college students. There is a Wal-Mart here but that is about it. If you need anything else you will have to travel a good distance or just wait until you go home next time. Make sure you come to school with everything you need or else you may have to wait for a while to get it.

The worst thing about Mansfield is the lack of scholarship money that is available to students.

Besides being rural, Mansfield University is subject to financial woes that face the state, which in turn means less funding. As a student and faculty body, there are certain luxuries that we live without, but in the end we're proud for what we have and can achieve.

There is nothing stimulating ever going on. When I finish with my school work and am done studying, there is never anything to do. The school is placed in the middle of nowhere.

The worst thing about my school is that most of the students go away for weekends and do not seem too interested in the offered special events. People like me who cannot go home are stuck here with virtually nothing to do because most of the buildings get locked whenever the school seems deserted. This is not always a bad thing, however, because it is nice to get the school to oneself from time to time. The bathrooms stay cleaner that way and walking around naked in one's own room is rather liberating after the roommate goes home.

The worst thing about my school is that it is so small and unknown. A lot of the students coming here live nearby and end up going home over the weekends. Personally, I live too far away to go home, so I stay on campus. I have to say that even though there is not much to do on non-school days, it is terribly peaceful. Without all the hustle and bustle of bigger campus, you feel more like you "own" this school; it feels more like home, albeit sometimes lonely.

I think the worst part of my univeristy is the fact that they plan to cut my program in the next year. I came to Mansfield for my French Education program and I am heart - broken that my department is being unfairly cut from Mansifeld.

Mansfield University, while it is a wonderful place for education, is not set in an area where there is mcuh to do. The closest shopping mall is 45 minutes to an hour away and the movies are 15 minutes away. Because of its placement, activities on campus are all there are to have fun. However, I do believe that the University community has provided many opportunities for out of class activities to participate in.

The worst thing about my school is that there is nothing available for the students to do most weekends. This is because Mansfield University is placed in a small borough and everything is closed at the lastest 11 pm. Only thing that is open is the bar after that.

For me personally is becuase since i grew up close to here i just feel like have havne't got out in the world enough and that i just kinda settled here and Mansfield doesn't offer to me what i want in terms of experiencing other things.

The worse thing about Mansfield is it is built on a hill which means no matter where ur walking to ur always walking up and down hills.

Everything closes early.

The lack of Weekend activites, because the campus turns into a ghost town come Friday night. Entertainment is limited.

How everyone here is very set in a specific role and is very unwilling to step outside of that and view things from other people's perspectives. And the only thing to do here on the weekends is drink.

The worst thing about MU is that financial aid isn't very helpful in finding you the money you need to attend college which will turn a lot of people away because the average student can't afford college without any financial aid. They don't respond to e-mails and never know exactly what you are talking about so it takes a little longer to figure out how much everything is going to cost.
