Youngstown State University Top Questions

The negative aspects of the city it self are the worst part of YSU. Youngstown was once the murder capital of the US as well as the economic decline since the 1970's the university has been one of the top employeers. YSU offers great academics, extra-curiccular activities and social-outlets, so long as students take advantage of all the opportunities!

There is crime around the school.

The worst thing about Youngstown State University would be how much partying occurs on campus.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the tuition being raised and pell grants taken away. Youngstown State is suppose to be a way for those stuggling financially to earn an education. The cost of tuition went up $1,300 within the past two years, this puts a stressful toll on those already in financial need. Some low income families get to go for free just because their parents don't have jobs, while my family works hard to earn a living and I do not even get a pell grant.

The location is not the best. The reason I say that is because Youngstown has always been a high crime area and I personally don't feel safe walking to or from class. I take night classes and sometimes don't get out until 9:30 or 10:00pm, so I always have someone on the phone in case something happens, that way they can call the police.

The worst thing about Youngstown State University is that we dont have a lot of African American ran extra-curriculars aside from fraternities and sororities.

I honestly do not think there is anything that is bad about my school. Any time that you have a problem or anything wrong someone is always there to try and help you.

same as above

The only bad thing about this campus is there is really nothing to do on the weekends. Most of the student population do not live on campus so the school thinks that they don't need anything happening on the weekend. If there was a movie theater or something that is available to the on campus students then this will do the trick.

I think the worst thing is you do not have your own bathroom. If you stay in the dorms then you have a community bathroom. I share a bathroom with 42 other females.
