The best thing about my university is that fact that it is located in the heart of Pittsburgh, Pa. It isn't excluded from the so-called "real world," it is neighbors with many successful businesses. This gives Point Park students an upperhand when it comes to internships and job searching; our surrounding area is familiar with our school and its successes, so it is never an issue to get involved. It is even more than just with finding work, finding events and things to do is just as easy.

This school is very good at fostering creativity and diversity. At my school I can be whoever I want and I will always fit in. As an artist, this school pushes me to be the best I can be and inspires me constantly. There is a strong group of peers to look up to that have worked in your field. Everyone is extremely friendly and supportive. It's certainly not a party school so it really fits me. It's small class sizes as allows one on one contact with professors.

Unlike traditional colleges and universities, Point Park University gives their students a first year hands-on experiences in their chosen field of study. Thanks to the attentiveness of their instructors, whom each have the credentials to profess, students gain the capability of delivering high quality, resumes worthy work for promising career opportunities. A student will develop their gifts and talents in ways that are creatively and intellectually challenging.

The best thing about Point Park are the people (other students). There is an eclectic mix and many opportunities to interact. It is like a "small town" located in the center of a big city. There are so many things to do in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area and the school sponsors outings for students (freshman in particular) to help discover the area.

All the teachers have valuable life experiences in their field. Also, the mix of students is fantastic. Due to our COPA program, there are many theater and dance majors with colorful personalities. This schools journalism program is nationally recognized, and is fantastic.

Highly intelligent Professors and Instructors, the wide array of diversity, the prepratory cirriculum, and location. the academic tutoring and security they provide for students, the abundance of resources, University library, study areas, and academic technolgy software and hardware. Internships and job placements they prepare students for. the respect and compassion they give students regardless of race, creed or color. the international student exchange, that students have the opportunity to participate in, if they desire. There's of countless of activities that student can participate in to keep them occupied and interested.

The diversity that is found at this school is helpful in preparing students for the real world. You get to interact with people from many different religious and ethnic backgrounds. There is rarely any racism seen on the campus because of how diverse the students are. People generally seem to accept everyone and unfair judgements of people is uncommon.
