Personally I am not a fan of the dining hall but other food options on and off campus are great. Love the location- snowboarder/ skiers dream! Overall I've really enjoyed my time here at PSU. Lots of opportunities and really caring professors. Love the random traditions like Pirate Party and floating the riv.

At this University specifically, it is best to indulge in the great outdoors. We find ourselves absorbed and involved with all that there is to achieve. Many friends and relatives have legacies here at Plymouth State University, and we find oneself to be lucky as a student, as well as a fellow member. Most important, studies are attended to, proud!

This place is amazing. Dorms need work, but that's kinda normal for a state school. I've met awesome people, and my classes are chill. I'm loving it!

I could list endless stories both social and academic that will forever be engrained in me, but I want to focus on the key skill PSU taught me, critical thinking. Compared to many people I've interviewed against who have ivy league alma maters, I've always been superior in critical thinking and it's afforded me many great opportunities already.

I love going to Plymouth State. It is what you make it and if you don't put yourself out there you will probably be lonely like you would anywhere. It's a beautiful area in the white mountains and if you like the outdoors, you will love it. Freshman dorms are okay and food is pretty mid but gets the job done. Classes and Profs are great.

This place is the best - if you want to party, party. If you don't want to party, don't. There is a little bit of everything here!

Love this school. Best years of my life. The academics were great junior and senior year. Lots of opportunity. In a great place to ski in the winter and hike and swim in the summer. Always felt safe

Best four years of my life.

Very pretty campus , but the food is awful most days. The dorms could be in better shape especially Pemigewasset Hall and Belknap Hall.

Plymouth State University is a place like no other. Coming from a bad high school, Plymouth has given me an opportunity to be my best self. From amazing resources, good friends, to the best staff ever, Plymouth is all about finding out who you are and connecting with others to help you become a better person. #utprosim #pantherpride #psunite

This is not it if you actually care about your future.

Avoid this place like the plague, especially if you are an art major. You could learn more off youtube than from this place.

Horrible administration, university is weak on multiple levels
Overall 1.6
This school is a mess overall. Teachers do not respond to students hardly ever. They do not give feedback and you are taught mostly by adjunct professors in the field. Only one full-time professor in my major and only one with a PH.d.
Overall 1.7
The campus is very pretty from the outside. Once you get inside you see the problems. Only 3 dorms are decent, the others look like the last time they were up to code was the 50s. A toilet on my floor was broken and leaking water everywhere from Aug-May. Res life did nothing. Don't go to the counseling center, they don't want to help you.

Party atmosphere, hippy teachees

The school really needs a make-over. The food WILL make you lose your appetite. First year dorms are practically jail cells.

During tours and open houses, they hype this school way too much. Even one semester here, I'm transferring after this upcoming semester. The food is awful (got sick three times), no one knows what integrated clusters are(main selling point to get kids to enroll here), and finally, everyone just parties because there is nothing else to do on campus.
