Beautiful campus and friendly people! Small school, so not as much to do as a huge University. I loved Central Penn!

Not the college to attend if you want to find a suitable paying job. Adm Staff is very unhelpful and not willing to address issues with students. They just take your money...

Professors are amazing, but administration needs some work. New policies need to be put in place to adapt to the changing environment. More inclass/handson classes less online.
Overall 1.9
In recent years, the school has tried to revamp their image but it hasn't really worked. Too many professors are terrible at what they do-almost as though they hire anyone to teach anything. The student population can be disrespectful and rude and some of the staff can be hard to reach. If I wasn't so close to graduating, I would go elsewhere.

They changed the classes to become 2 and 1/2 hours on ground and 1 1/2 hours on line BY LAW. It takes everyone I have talked to so far hours and hours to do the one-line homework. (One class it took me way over 12 hours to do one class week's assignment. No one cares enough to monitor this. I want to contact FASFA; I am stressed bad.
