Good reviews

Beautiful campus. Lots to do. Puts on lots of events and activities. Professors and staff genuinely care about students and each other. Felt very safe. Like a home away from home.
Overall 4.3
Great school! I have fond memories of my fellow classmates, and wonderful caring professors. The food served at the cafeteria was too good. I gained too much weight, therefore they should hire horrible chefs/cooks to give the students a better chance on their diets.

This school has many opportunities for people to excel, the professors for the most part are great. If you're looking for a good academic school I would definitely recommend this school. If you're looking for a party school i would not recommend this school. In order to party you need to get in with the right group.

This place is too small. They don't offer the classes you need for your major. Major related classes are offered only once a year. The parking is sad. The school has focused on increasing enrollment and not enlarging services. Internet is worthless. I use my cell service. There are clubs but they don't do anything. Complete solitude.
Overall 1.6
The school is very isolated, nothing to do there don't go there, just save yourself the mental trauma. There is barely any public transportation, and everything closes super early, and forget about anything being opened during the weekends.

If you're considering UPB, just don't. Look at Pitt Johnstown. Soooo much better !

hated my experience here would not recommended
Overall 1.9
Its a pretty campus in the fall and spring, you get to know your professors, only downside is there is nothing at all to do... the town around it is old and dying and the internet on campus is absolutely pathetic for anything besides web browsing. The food is decent compared to most schools. Overall im hear for the education which is pretty good.

The roads to get to campus and around the town are terrible with or without snow plus people in Bradford can't drive. The open areas are nice when not covered in snow. I personally would recommend going to main campus or an entirely different school.
