While my school is a local, state university, it is known for its challenging academics and its great value. It has been ranked as one of Kiplinger Magazine's "Best Value" school for the past three years. Also, West Chester has an amazing Communicative Disorders and speech pathology program, with a speech pathology research lab on campus, which many of the schools in the surrounding area do not have. While West chester does have a bit of a reputation of a "party school" many students remain focused on simply receiving a quality education.

It's not in the middle of no where, and most students who come to West Chester are some-what local to begin with. WCU was named Oxford's (where I come from) 13th grade, because a large percentage of our 2008 graduating class began at WCU.
