West Chester University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

I really like the campus. I transferred here from Shippensburg University and I HATED it there. WCU has been such a great expeirence.

I think my school offers alot as far as diversity and acceptance. I say this because coming to this campus I have been exposed to many different styles, religions, sexualities, and personalities. I think that WCU does not descriminate against anything nor anyone. Which is why I love this school, because you are accepted, and I can be free with who I am as a Christian, and there are no limitations.

The best thing about my school is the friendly atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone and people aren?t afraid to stop and say hello. The classrooms are fairly small and you get to know your professor on a one-on-one level. They also treat you like an adult and a student wrapped into one. They don't forget that you have a life outside of school, which is important to many college students. I feel like West Chester is my second home, something that many college students don't get to experience with a big campus.

West Chester University allows you to get a great education no matter what your situation is. I have to work full time and go to school and my advisors are always doing whatever they can to accomidate my needs. They want to make sure that I am getting above and beyond what I pay for, because they know I work hard to pay for it.

The best thing about West Chester University would be the location. There's easy access to Philadelphia and main towns/cities without it being too busy or disruptive.

The people are the best thing about my school. Everyone (the teachers, the students, the people at the library and the financial aid office) is very friendly and helpful. My advisor has really helped me out, and always makes time to talk to me when I have problems. I've made some of the best friends I've ever had here! There's almost always someone around to hang out with or study with. I'm really shy, but no one's made me uncomfortable (and absolutely no one has treated me badly because I'm gay!).

The best thing about WCU is the enthusiam all the students and professors have for learning. It is readily apparent that the students here WANT to learn and want to further their careers. The professors are wonderfully helpful and always willing to give extra help whenever necessary.

the size of the campus

I love the people there. They are alot of fun and I can always find something to do. There are many surrounding schools around me and a few bigger cities that we can travel to for some fun.

the social life

The best part about West Chester University is the level of academics balanced with level of social interaction. It's very easy to learn in an enviornment that is supportive with new and old friends and that is what is here. You are able to have friends go to class with and hang out with and also go to new activities to meet new ones. The most beneficial aspect from this school for me is being able to learn and and grow with friends.

The best thing about WCU is the large number of academic and extracurricular opportunities that are available to students over a very diverse field of interests. There are many opportunities at WCU for resume and career building, persuing a new talent or interest, and extending education way outside of the classroom.

The best thing about my school how friendly people are the how approachable the professors are.

As much as I enjoy attending classes and being on campus, the off campus atmosphere is incredible. If you wake a walk down the street, you can enjoy the downtown shops and restaurants with your friends. You can bring a book and enjoy a cup of coffee. It's very inviting and enjoyable.

The area surrounding it has a lot of things to offer such as things to do on weekends, or finding a job.

Campus life was amazing for me. I could never forget the memories I made or the amazing people I met.

Small town with a big city feel, never too far or too close to anything

Everyone just seems so nice to be here!

Though the students here tend not to focus on work and focus more on having fun, it would be fair to say that you will have fun because everyone student wants everyone involved with a good time. West Chester has a very, "come on in and make yourself at home" attitude.

WCUPA is a very diverse and active school. There is always something to do even if you are a "weekend warrior."
