West Chester University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Describe the students at your school.

Sean

It's hard to describe. We all come from different backgrounds and each have different personalities. At the same time we all see one purpose, and that is that we are all there to further our education and get where we want to go in our lives. We want to succeed more than anything to obtain whatever the degree that we want, so that way we can pursue our life around that. Classmates is not a word to describe the people that I attend class with, but rather friends.

Students are from all walks of life. We have students of all different race and ethnicities and everyone has different interests as well. There is a LGBT community as well, and it is supported by the whole campus. There are many different groups on campus such as Greek organizations to writing clubs and ultimate frisbee teams. No student would feel out of place at WCUPA because there are so many different people from different social classes, different parts of the United States, and from different cultural backgrounds. We have a very large and diverse group of students.

Midori

My classmates are extremely diverse at West Chester University. I recently noticed a flyer around campus describing our student population. I believe it reported that WCU is represented by students from over 39 different states at the moment and a couple of dozen different countries. This wide range of students brings to life a unique cultural experience for all those that attend the university. Because so many students come from different parts of the country or world, we are all very open to accepting other life-styles and we all learn from each other’s unique experiences.

I feel like many of the students here are not invested in their academics, and almost seem to view class as a nuisance that keeps them from the more fun aspects of "the college experience;" it is rare to have more than one or two students in a class who are engaged in course material and active in class discussion.
