I transferred here from Shippensburg this semester and i absolutley love it. I feel at home here everyone is so nice (for the most part). The campus is beautiful and in the middle of a beautiful area.

Bad reviews

Unless you already have friends going there with you don't expect to make many friends outside of your major. signing up for sports or events is virtually impossible unless your there on the right day when there fairs are going on its almost impossible to tell which events are going on where unless someone actually knows. administration has issues.
Overall 1.7
The classes are comparable to High School, the professors I've had like failing kids and make you teach yourself the material, DRAMA. The area of Bloomsburg is incredibly unsafe and there is rarely anything to do. Grew up near campus and thought I wanted to come here until I got here. Almost no one is willing to help you including advisors.
Overall 1.9
you cant go anywhere else unless you wait an hour for the bus then walk 2 miles to your car in a stone parking lot thats unlit and unmonitored that they lock the gate to. theres nothing within walking distance. the fair is the only good thing in bloomsburg. the commons food is unseasoned. we had so many problems with the dorms it was ridiculous.

If you're not into greek life there's really not a good way to meet people or do anything at night. If you're not a nursing or education major, the academics are low quality and everybody here acts like they're too good to care about school- which like, why are you paying $10k a year if you ALL don't care lol

Not fun, feel trapped during the winter
