It's going to be awkward but thats just how meeting completely new people goes. You drop your ego a little bit and make friends pretty quick. No matter where you go it's pretty much the same. The first week of college is a weird experience for everyone. 2nd year student here who has lived in West Chester my whole life and seen people enter and graduate. If you have any more specific questions I can try to answer. Worst - people get annoying trying to "raise awareness" for every little fucking thing, but again, what do you expect outside of Philadelphia. Speaking of which, how strong is the school spirit?īest - affordable education, all around pretty fun to be at, facilities are all being renovated so that's nice. People rarely go to football games aside from watching the band. Dunno, ymmv.įootball team is decent but it's not anything close to SEC/Big 12 football. Not a CS major, but my roommate and friends mostly were and transferred out because it's hard and the profs weren't great. I'm not sure what this means? Politically correct culture? If that's the case then yes, very strong, it's a liberal arts college on the out skirts of the most liberal city in the northeast, students protested police brutality in Missouri on our campus when no incidents had occurred here. But I guess that makes sense, you wouldn't be friends with people you don't get along with anyway. I wouldn't describe the student body as a whole as friendly - they'll be friendly if your ideals align with theirs, otherwise nah. I felt much more connected when I lived on campus, now that I live in town it feels like I'm an outcast at my own school which I'm honestly OK with but it's weird. If I were you I'd definitely get involved on campus as soon as you can, because it'll allow you to connect to the community.īeen going here four years, I'll take a stab. There are great professors, awful professors, and okay professors. I'm a commuter now, so I don't get much of the college lifestyle anymore, but what I can speak for in my first two years is, the town is great, the parties are just okay (if that's your thing), but the friendships I made during my time there are what what are most important for me. What are the best and worst things about being a student here? For what it's worth, one of the Psych professors, Professor Tucci, is probably the biggest fan in the school, and she brings a lot of students with her to spectate and tailgate. The football team is decent, but you're not going to find really strong school spirit here. Is the football team any good? This may seem like a silly question, but I'd like to go to a school with a strong school spirit. They are certified by the NSA,, but I'm not well versed enough to know if that counts for anything. I've only taken a few intro CS classes, but I can't say for sure how good our CS program is. How good is your CS program? Are the professors helpful? Keep in mind, like /u/catshit69 said, we are right outside of Philadelphia, and I'd say a majority of our student body is liberal. Regardless, I've met diehard liberals, libertarians, and conservatives here, so it's not like everyone you meet is going to be ultra-PC. For what it's worth I do lean to the left. I agree with some of it, I disagree with some of it. You're going to see this at most colleges nowadays.

Is there a strong sense of PC culture on campus? I'm not a fan of it and would like to avoid it if at all possible. I've met my fair share of assholes when I used to party but that's the case wherever you go. There are all kinds of people here, so it's easy to find the people you fit in with. How is the student body? How friendly is everyone? I would hope that most colleges are friendly places, so I'm just double checking to see if WCU is like that too.
