ESU seemed to have a bad rep, but has been wonderful in my opinion. There is great faculty and staff, diversity, a lot of options for clubs and other ways to be involved. The university is fun and located in a wonderful area if you enjoy nature. The Delaware Water Gap is beautiful. I am proud to go to this University.

Fantastic school. Gives everyone a chance to be involved and be themselves. The class size is just right, not too small or too big. The community is very welcoming. Affordable and an above average nightlife. The food and internet could be better though. Go Warriors!

I really thought if I tried being more social I might enjoy this place. It's just not great. I lost the "best 4 years of my life". Don't make the same mistake I did

This schools tuition isn't bad, but it's an example of you get what you pay for. Once the rose colored glasses come off, everyone realizes this place has nothing. You like nature, there's plenty of that, BUT you can't have a car til JUNIOR year. I was a fool for giving this place a second chance. Don't waste your time

Ive never felt more unsafe! Ive had people follow me to the car! People get assaulted all the time! I havent had a single professor let me flourish, they force you into a cookie cutter mold! Its just like high school. And even if you geninely want to join a sport, theyre all just like frats/sorieties. I am embarrassed to say I go here!

There has been many crimes that occurred on campus and they sweep it under the rug. This is a majority education major college despite the lack of education major students. The food is not the best but their are different options. Unless you are a greek life person your social life will be a lonely on at ESU. The internet is bad and so is housing.
Overall 1.3
if u don't wanna be greek life or not an education major forget it. 0/10 staff. 0/10 people. childish staff.
