The location is one of the best parts about it. The campus itself is well kept and in a beautiful location with lots of hiking, skiing, and other nature activities available. However, concerning restaurants and other locations around Plymouth, it's pretty barren, and you'll likely have to travel over an hour outside of campus to go shopping or do anything interesting besides skiing or snowboarding in the winter. I'd say the worst thing about Plym is the dorms 100%. Pray for your life if you're in Pemi... even Grafton or Belknap. Vandalism is far too common and it's likely you'll be woken up in the middle of the night by fire alarms at least a dozen times per semester. At least another 30 times just by other people screaming drunk through the hallways. It's definitely a party school and for that reason, it can be a lot of fun, but the housing situation for thousands of dollars per semester is just sad. Not to mention it's highly unfeasible to live off-campus until at the earliest, you're halfway into your junior year. Had I known this before going here- I simply would've picked a different school.
Plymouth State is perfect. It is big enough to not know everyone, but it is small enough whereas everywhere you go, you will likely see someone familiar. Not only is there decent academics, but there is also always something to do on the weekends. The party scene is great here for such small school. Also, there is always sports games going on. If you want to have fun but also focus on school, this is a great school to go to.
Plymouth State University is a home away from home. The campus is small, the people are friendly and the community is so supportive of the university. You will see familiar faces while walking to class but also see new faces. Everyone is so genuine and nice. You are surrounded by the beautiful white mountains which are good for skiing and hiking. There is a sense of family and community at Plymouth State that to a lot of schools have.
Plymouth State University has the best scenic views! Surrounded by majestic mountains and serene flowing rivers, it offers students a plethora of activities both in the fall and winter seasons! The quaint downtown and common areas, give you ample reasons to visit, for a cup of coffee, some lunch or just to shop at one of it's novelty shops. There are many opportunities to get involved at PSU, whether it is a job, sports or volunteer choices. The professors are eager to meet with their students and give much of their time to guide them to achieve success. I love Plymouth State University!

If time could be unwound and I could speak to my highschool senior self; I would thank him for getting me where I am today. My seinor year was supposed to be fun and lax. Mine was full of worry about college. Applying for scholarships, touring colleges, getting ready for the next big step in my life. I had no idea how I was going to pay for it. My mother had medical bills which my FASFA helped pay off. Currently I work two jobs and am also a full time student. To my highschool self I would just tell him everything would be fine and we would find a way no matter what. I would tell him college would be easier than he thought it would be; I would tell him there wouldnt be any bullies like highschool. He wouldn't be made fun of .
The best thing about my school is the atmosphere. Everyone, including students, employees and, professors are hands down, the friendliest people i've ever met in my life. Coming from a town near Boston MA, Plymouth NH is a much friendlier and accepting place to be and to thrive as a student. The view is breathtaking and woulnd't change it for the world.
Students who need a degree of luxury should't attend Plymouth State University. The living quarters leave much to be desired and most of the academic buildings haven't changed since the 1950's. Also, those with a higher standard of academic integrity should look elsewhere seeing as classes are not as challenging as other four-year institutions. Students who are looking for shops, restaurants, and other activities outside of school, should steer away from Plymouth State University and seek out a larger college or university.
There really isn't many bad things that I would have to say about the University itself. The location of Plymouth is kind of inconvinient because of the scarce accesibility to big shopping malls. The closest big shopping area is in Tilton, which is 20 minutes away. This doesn't bother a lot of people but girls that love to shop may struggle with this.
I probably brag the most right now about my grades. I have done really well while I have been at Plymouth State. Another thing I frequently talk about with my friends is the discount rates for snowboarding at the local mountain that Plymouth offers.
Everyone is unique and brings something new and interesting to the learning experience.
My school is best known for being a close knit communtiy of educators and students who all work towards a common goal: Getting the student the best education to provide for their futures~ Plymouth State offers many programs to help you reach your goals from study groups, to labs and also offers great recreational activities. Winter sports here are the best!
I wish I had known how hard it would be to be socially active on campus while living at home. Living at home makes it really hard to become involved in many campus activities, and therefore you do not meet as many people.

Not the right fit for me.
I looked at a lot of schools, from online degree programs to going somewhere nearby. I found that Plymouth was able to offer me an online degree that works with my own current employment. I am a teacher seeking an M.Ed. in Adminstration and I will be able to do my internship right in my own building. Plus, I can take most of my classes online. Some of the classes are hybrids, meaning I go to a few classes for the discussions and finish online. In short, the best of both worlds at Plymouth State University!
By far the most frustrating part of school would have to be paying for it. The lack of financial aid available for me as a full time student is extremly displeasing as i am responsible for the entire bill. I beleieve the demand for higher education in today's work force is needed more each year; leading to my decision to stay enrolled in school. With both my parents unable to budget my schooling, more grants, scholarships and "free money" should be given out, especially to students like myself who can adapt and succeed in college.
