West Chester University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the trouble that students have with professors that do not speak fluent English. There is a large variety of diversity in the Professors alone, and this tends to cause issues when students take their classes and cannot understand anything that they are saying. It's exceptionally difficult to learn material while wasting your time in class trying to simply figure out what the professor is talking about. Most students at WCU are English - speakers and this has caused me issues more so within the math department.

The worst thing about West Chester is how some of the students do not care about their academics and are only there to drink and party.

Because of my Major being Music Education, the worst part is the number of classes I take, and having a lot of those classes be only half or one credit. It means that while most students take 4-6 classes a semester, I end up taking 10-16 classes a semester, with usually more work that has to get done. I wish our courses counted for more and showed how much work gets put into them, rather than saying that this course must be really easy and take no effort at all, simply because its less credits.

I really dislike the meal plan. I'm a very picky eater and there aren't many choices for me. The food is not the best and sometimes makes me sick!

The overall atmosphere is sometimes bleak. There isn't much spirit.

I have not found anything but parking to be a problem.

In honesty, the financial aid department. They are continually messing things up and it gets extremely frustrating. They drop you from your classes without notice and when it is their mistake, they don't even try to help you fix it.

Lack of diversity and understanding for diversity. Becoming better at this school, but still needs improvements.

Underfunded. Not enough advisors, teachers, secretaries. Advisors and professors are usually overwhelmed.

South campus is so far away from the rest of the campus!
