West Chester University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

One of the frustrating things I have noticed is sometimes there is scheduling conflict for class enrollment and registration.

The gym is the most frustrating thing about my school. The gym is so small but is packed with a lot of equipment therefore everything and everyone is scrunched together and there really is no room for personal space. Also when the machines are not working it takes weeks for them to be fixed and since there already are few cardio machines it is frustrating to sign up for the hour that you want and then have a broken machine. Overall it's a space issue because there is just not enough space for the equipment.

West Chester University is a medium size state school that is split into a North and South Campus, but is also located next to a small town. This gives the students the opportunity to go where they want and do the activities or hobbies that they enjoy. On the Upper Campus there is mostly classrooms and educational bulidings and on the Lower Campus there are the sports fields and health/science buildings. As for the town, it is an adorable little place where students can go to get away from the college life and just relax.

The most frustrating thing about West Chester University is that there is limited space to park on campus. I am a freshman commuter this year and there is only one place that I am allowed to park and that is over a mile away. I must take the bus to north campus everyday in order to get to class. The buses are never on time so you must be at the bus stop atleast 30 minutes prior inorder to keep from being late to class.

The most frustrating thing about my school is making new friends since i am a transfer student. I also find it frustrating when i can't locate buildings on campus that are of importance to me because i am not very familiar with the layout of my new school yet.

The Most fustrating things about my school is sometimes as a freshman they expect you to know certain things that you have never had to encounter before like loans and classes and things like that.

I wish tuition costs were not as high as they are. In my opinion, being an out-of-state student for the time being, there is too low a ratio of available financial aid to college costs. I do love my school and I wouldn't trade it for another, but it would be a much more pleasant experience if I didn't have to worry so much about paying for school.

There is some construction right now which is annoying. I also dont really like the fact that alot of people come from the same area.

During 24 hour quiet in the dorms to study for finals, kids outside were blaring music and sunbathing, and there was NOTHING anyone would do about it. I was told to take my computer elsewhere. Too bad it's a desktop!

The financial aid office is not very helpful. Also, to a lot of students this is a party school. It is what you make of it. There are a lot of great teachers and wonderful students, but its up to you to want to succeed as a student - you can slide by if you don't put in the effort.
