Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Schuylkill Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Adeola

The best thing about my school is the school spirit. I have visited my friends at other colleges and remember visiting other schools during tours as a high school senior; no school compared to Penn State. Penn State's school spirit is indescribable. I remember during my freshman being so amazed by the comraderie that brings students from all different backgrounds together as one to celebrate in the pride we have for our school. "We are...Penn State!" is chanted at every campus event. Penn State Pride is also the reason the school has one of the largest alumi networks.

Andrew

I enjoy the fact that the classes I attend is small. Less people in each class, i have the opportunity to get to know the instructer and also have one on one time going over assignments with the instructer. I believe in a small class it is easier to stay focused.

Hannah

I consider the best thing to be the small class sizes. Small classes allow for personal interaction between the teacher and student.

Samantha

The best thing about my school is the diversity. Even though the campus is small, it still gives you a chance to meet new people and experience new things.

Linda

Convenient location

Maryann

The dorms are amazing. It's more of a house than a cell block room. You live with 5 other people and have 2 personal bathrooms and a living room and full kitchen. It makes you feel more at home.

Julie

The best part of Penn State Schuylkill is that it is only about 15 minutes from my home so it is very convenient. I am able to be near enough to my children that if something were to happen I can be there quickly.

Otacha

The fact that there is tutoring available for students. This really helps with classes that may be hard to understand and/or classes that you just want to get a A in.

Lisa

I find I really enjoy the whole atomsphere. I have returned to school after many years. I find my classes stimulating and interesting.

Xiao

The best thing about this school is the good advises students gain from professors and advisers about different careers.

Anna

the profesors really care about the success of the students, and know your name. They are very easy to approach. There are also fun activities and events to attend, but there is very little publicity for them so not many people go to said events. The upside of this is that it makes it more likely to be able to attend free/cheap trips.

Vaughn

The best thing about my school is the reputation it upholds. It also is a great place to meet new people and learn new things at an easier pace than you would in any other high school setting. I think learning is easier in this college setting because you have more free time to work on your learning capabilities.

john

i would say the dean, because he will help above and beyond. i think that the ist teacher is very good she dont let you get behind and or stay on top of you and she reaally dont have to do that.

Katherine

The library is a nice and quiet place with free printing (computer lab charges for printing). I am able to get most of my work done (I dorm and there are always too many distractions).

Leonard

The best part about Penn State's many satalite campus's (which is the school i am currently attending), it the small class sizes. There is a more personal approach to the classes. The teachers have a chance to recognize your face. They also have a very good tutoring service, that gets to know your own personal weaknesses and adresses them.

Jade

The campus itself. It is a beautiful campus and fairly easy to get around. At the Schuylkill campus, the classes aren't too large so there is more interaction with all the students and professors. Plus, the school has a great academic track record.

alexa

The best thing about my school is that everyone is very nice and willing to help you.

Caitlin

The classes are small and the professors are willing to help out.

Darryl

The females are the best thing

Daniel

What I consider the best thing at my school is the fact that it is smaller than most universities, I think this because you have smaller classes and a better chance to learn the material.

Megan

There is a lot of great opportunities because it is a small campus.

Yi

CAA, I am an ESL student, I need help when I do the assignment. CAA is helpful

Brittany

I believe I would consider the best thing about my school would be how we have so many different ethinicities and backgrounds on such a small campus that you get to see a lot of different things everyday; it really is interesting. Another really good thing about my school would be the size of it. I love the fact that it is not a really big campus and that you can know all of your professors and see them, say hi and have them know your name. I am one who does not like the big college campus scene.

Tyler

I like my work study position with the Department of Veteran Affairs. Not only am I a veteran, but now I have one foot in the door as far as securing employment after graduation with the V.A. is concerned. This work study will probably shape the rest of my life.

TiQuann

The best thing about this school that i would consider to prospective students is that here our campus is small which gives you a better chance of learning and unerstanding the material. Also, here you have a better chance of getting to know your professors on a more personal level where they will actually know your name and who you are.
