Literally love it here. IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT! You have to get out there and get things they are not handed to you. Downtown can be weird but overall it's beautiful, fun, and has the best people I have ever met.

Gannon is a good school. The city of Erie can sound unsafe, but nobody I know has had an issue with safety, as there are always Gannon police around campus to make sure everything is okay. The food in the dining hall is hit or miss, but docs is great. There are many ways to get involved club wise. There are many ways to be socially involved too.

Really liked Gannon. it was just big enough and focused on education. always something to do. there were many opportunities for scholarships (joining a sport or club, pep band, student gov). the professors are overall really great. some safety concerns in the city but same as any city campus.

Gannon is an amazing school, and I hope everyone can experience it.

Hated every moment here. Nothing good to say.

Don't go here. The CIS department is closing programs because of bad administration. I heard they are laying off professors from the department because of low enrollment.
Overall 1.3
very small school, if youre looking for a larger school this is not the one, classes are small, you will eventually know most kids on campus, isnt in a very nice area, anyone can really access the buildings, teachers are okay just have to find the right ones.
not the most enjoyable school ever.

Boy oh boy, Gannon doesn't know how to cover their own mistakes worth beans! two sororities were just kicked off for hazing and while nationals told them they had to leave campus Gannon fought to keep them around?!? Did we not learn anything from our anti-bullying workshops?
Overall 1.6
The teachers are some of the worst and most incompetent people I've ever met. And I've worked retail before. The campus is scattered across the bad parts of Erie. One time a man killed someone and was at large. So the school had us on lockdown. The problem was the lockdown started after he was caught. And the never told us when the lockdown ended.

Gannon was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

This college is HORRIBLE.

Gannon is a small school. Very outdated buildings besides library and IHack. Not much to do, very clique-y. I never felt a sense of real community here, even in my smallest classes. If you're planning on commuting, get ready to feel even more left in the dust.
