Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kate

Before I attended the university, I wish I would have had the foresight to better outline my long-term goals. Later in my college career I became more involved with on and off-campus activities, including volunteer opportunities, honor societies, and extra curricular clubs. I would have gained more applicable job and personal experience had I gotten involved earlier in my college career. Additionally, I would have benefited greatly from taking more technology-based courses as opposed to predominantly creative courses, as the skills gained are more applicable to the current job market.

Keri

I wished I knew Freshmen dorms didn't have air conditioners. This doesn't sway my opinion of Kutztown, but it's would have been nice to know where are the cool spots on campus.

Erin

How bad the criminal justice program was. How much online work they force you to do in all of the classes. How little the teachers will help you with the classes.

Rachel

I wish I would have known how to deal with my roommate. We got along fairly well for the majority of the year, but she became grouchy and intolerable near the end.

Gladys

Before I came to school I wish I had known my level of knowledge in courses and tasks were minimal to what they should have been.

Taryn

I arrived at Kutztown as a transfer student, and although I researched thoroughly I was still surprised by what I found here. Many of the new dorms, for example, are expensive and there are more apartments available around town than students can fill at times. The library is one of the best I have ever seen, and if you have musical talent you are welcome to perform every Thursday at the Bear's Den cafe on campus. There is so much to do and see so be sure to ask people if you are missing out on something!

Dale

Before coming to this school, I wish I had known what an amazing place it would be to study and discover my own personal skills, as it would have made my decision of which school to attend all the more easy and exciting. At Kutztown University, I discovered an enviroment where I am comfortable, and a place where my peers and mentors want me to succeed, and help me to as well; at Kutztown, my skills are being put to their full potential, and I am discovering more about myself than I thought existed.

Laura

I wish that they would have told us that sometimes it gets really cold and that some professors are hard to understand. Sometimes the teachers do not care if you can understand them.

Kimberly

I wish I had been more aware of scholarship opportunities. I am an excellent student with a 4.0 GPA, but I was not offered any scholarships.

Corey

college class were easy!
