Isn't well known, but has a stellar reputation among those that know it. Class sizes are small, making it less intimidating and easier to make an impact. Research opportunities are numerous and significantly less cut-throat than other schools because the student pop is small. Rural, but if you look for something to do you'll never be bored. LOVE JC

Juniata gives you excellent platform to polish your self. professors and the other faculty is very cooperative. I enjoyed a lot while studing in Juniata. It has an awsome environment for foreign students. falak (pakistan)

An amazing school with great professors. Very easy to make friends, and feels like home immediately. Very small and in the middle of nowhere, but you never feel the need to leave campus anyway since it's a very social school with a lot of activities and things to do.

Juniata is in a pretty remote place but I chose to come here due to the generous financial aid and the numerous opportunities they have. It's incredible how I can do hands-on research with professors from my sophomore year, and the close relationship that you can build with the faculty and students here in this tight-knit community is fantastic.

Juniata College has turned out to be a surprisingly good decision. It is a quiet place in the middle of nowhere. At first, it seems like there is not much this college can offer. However, the amazing professors, the tight-knit community, and a fun and quirky culture makes you realize how beautiful this place can be if you give it a chance.

Full disclosure: your opinion of Juniata's campus will depend entirely on the type of environment you thrive in. Personally, I love the rural location and I take full advantage of the beautiful hiking areas. There are plenty of awesome clubs on campus to choose from; while the party scene isn't huge, that's not really my thing.
Overall 4.1
Coming to Juniata was probably one of the best decisions I have made. I feel like this college really helped me grow as a person and brought out all of my best qualities. Being in Huntingdon is probably the only "ehh" part, which just makes my grad school search that much easier, knowing I want to be in a larger city.

Juniata provides you with some of the best opportunities to succeed. No matter what field you want to go into, Juniata can help you be your best. The community is amazing and I wouldn't trade my experience at Juniata for the world. Go Eagles!

I loved the community feeling around campus. People would stop to say hello or just smile at strangers. I made some of my best friends at Juniata.

Super unpleasant place to live. Dorms are disgusting and the administration is very rude and unhelpful. People are very fake. Huntingdon is a small town with nothing to do. The college and town are very separate and at odds with one another.
Overall 1.6
Don't go here.
