The staff is always ready to help. In my first year being here I haven't had any crazy professors or advisers. The cafe staff could be more friendly, but it is only a school cafe so.

Choosing Emporia State was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've made great connections and have had lots of opportunities.
Bad reviews

I chose Emporia State because the price, location, and degree all made sense as a graduate from a Kansas school wanting to get a degree in Secondary Ed. Even though this was a "reasonable" choice, it was by no means a fun choice. Caf has poor hours, no exciting D1 sports, little choice in dorms, no activities on weekends except hardcore partying.

If you want to get an easy PhD, this is the place to get it. No academic standards whatsoever.

IF you plan to be a science teacher or do anything related to the scientific field, go to another school. Most of the educators in the science departments are TERRIBLE teachers, with little to no understanding of how to structure a class or give an appropriate test. I completely regret wasting so much of my time and money at this 'school'
