    First of all, the campus is beautiful! It is set up on a hill and surrounded by trees, yet only a few minutes from many stores, restaurants, and etc.. There are many clubs and organizations that make an effort to get students involved on campus to make their college experience better. From the few clubs/organizations I joined my first year, I have made a few really good friends. The campus is also a very safe environment. If there is any type of threat or anything, even minor, the campus police send out emergency alerts to students via e-mail, text messages, and phone calls. The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown is not only a good school for education, it is also a great place to put yourself out there and make friends that will last a lifetime. read full review

    Their are many clubs for you to join. RA's have lots of programs for students to attend. I've attended about 6 programs and they're all enjoyable and worth the time. You can always find something to do, or you could just relax in the dorms. Most kids hang out in the game room where there's Guitar Hero, DDR, and the famous Ping Pong. It's a good time. Love the campus. read full review
