I tell my friends of how quaint West Chester is. It's a university that resides in a beautiful town with cobblestone streets and a short walk away from the main town of West Chester. Since I'm from Maryland I like to tell them that West Chester is my Annapolis. It's a beautiful town with old architecture and amazing ma & pop shops. I'm also a fan of how the university integrates group work into every class. It makes meeting new individuals as a freshman quite painless.

The organizations that were on campus. There was organizations for just about everything you can think of. By them having so many organization it made it easier to firstly find friend with the same interests as you and secondly branch out to try something new. I loved being involved in different organizations and unified with people of newly found interest.

Judy

Along with the superior academics and excellent overall value of the institution, I find myself "bragging" to other friends about the wonderful involvement opportunities present on campus. A medium sized institution, West Chester truly has a club or organization for every student. While the student must make the effort to discover the organization on their own, the oppotunity to become a part of the campus is available.

It's beautiful year-round, and you get a taste of city-living, yet are surrounded by trees and plants on campus. Parking may be difficult on some days, but the commrodity and the beauty of the buildings themselves make up for it. Also, there's multiple "haunted" buildings, AND we have a Starbucks built-in to the library, and within walking distance of pretty much every building.

Eacj student has an advisor who helps out alot with schueduling classes. They have a mentoring program with mentors who mentors other students and helps them make the right decisions.

We have a fantastic Marching Band that gives those of us involved to have some amazing experiences. The interactions with the football team are so much better than those in high school. Joining our honors college was one of the best choices I ever made.
