    Will learn a lot

    I have been warmly welcomed and feel that I will be given a great education at this institution.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful and very well taken care of. The people are welcoming and the campus is within a wonderful community.
    Bang for the buck

    Coming from a community college, the expenses are the biggest issue for me, and at Kutztown, a campus more than 10x larger than my community college, I don't pay much more than I had at my community college, and I have the ability to get my Baccalaureate Degree.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely search around before you make a final decision. Don't ever settle for something for any other reason than because you truly want to.

    If you were a A-B student in high school you will most likely do well at Kutztown. That is not to say that A-B students are guaranteed to succeed and C students can't do really well. If you are willing to put in the work your grade will reflect it.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am currently a freshman at Kutztown University. I have been, and am, involved in sports, honors program and resident life. If you are looking for parties you can find them here. If you are looking for something more fulfilling you are going to have to make an effort. Talk to people in your dorm and your classes. You are going to have to put yourself out there to make friends.
    Bang for the buck

    Something most students don't realize that if you are a full-time students you are paying the same amount for 12 classes as 18 classes. Kutztown charges you as if you are taking 18 credits so try to take as many credits as you feel you can handle.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you did well in high school I would look into the honors program. You get preferred scheduling and with the number of students that Kutztown has it is hard for freshman to get into the courses they need
    Great for these types of students

    With Kutztown's size almost any student can succeed here. Just warning you that if you are looking for a school with alot of activities and things to do on the weekend, you should look elsewhere because the campus is empty on the weekend.

    Kutztown offers a wide variety of majors as well as professors to teach the classes. All of the professors are well qualified in their specific area and really enjoy teaching and developing their student’s knowledge and experience in their field of study. The professors try to involve their students in the class room as well as out of the class room in clubs and organizations.
    Am enjoying being here

    Kutztown has many clubs and organizations to get involved in. The rec center is a great place to meet new friends and get involved in different activities, such as different coed sports teams. The campus promotes involvement within the school and the community. There is a lot to do for any personality at Kutztown.
    Bang for the buck

    Kutztown gives you so much for your buck. There are so many events planned where they give away lots of free goodies. Kutztown is one of the cheaper schools where you will still receive a great education. I am paying for school by myself and Kutztown is one of the schools that does not exceed a tight budget. Kutztown is definitely the way to go when you have a tight budget and want a good education.
    Tips for prospective students

    For incoming freshman, my advice to you is get involved as much as possible. Not only do you make friends, you will also be less homesick and enjoy being at school more. For first generation college students, I would advise you to get involved with a program that I am currently in called SSSP. It is to help with the transition into college and will help you throughout the couple years you are here. They will help you with picking classes and develop many skills, such as time management, which is very important. They also give some scholarships out and the best part about being involved with SSSP is you receive early registration, which allows you to pick classes about a week or so before everyone enrolled at Kutztown. This is great because it pretty much guarantees you the classes you want for the next semester.
    Great for these types of students

    With small classes almost anyone can succeed here. Choose Kutztown if you want to receive a great education.

    I transferred out of Indiana University of Pennsylvania because it was an awful school. Once I was accepted at Kutztown, I didn't know what to expect. On the very first day of classes, I could tell things here were so much different. Academics here ARE very important, and professors have equal respect for you and really do care about how you do in their class. They let you know that they are always ready to help you and to never feel like a question you may ask is going to be stupid. Believe me, this school is the place to go if your looking for an affordable state school that is challenging.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since fall semester had started, I easily made friends within the first week, and am now part of the greek organization Delta Zeta (a national sorority). Greek life has truly involved me in many volunteering oppurtunities which benefit me in the long run.
    Bang for the buck

    This university is definitely worth the money. I for one, pay for my own tuition. I have no money whatsoever, and am paying with every dime I make in my own job. For a 19 year old college student, this is very difficult. The only reason I haven't left this school yet is because of how amazing and worth it the university really is. I am in the process of getting another job that way I can hopefully pay off more of my tuition. For those of you who are fortunate enough to take out a loan, or have your parents assist you with paying tuition, then you are very lucky and should definitely still consider Kutztown University. An overall AMAZING school!
    Tips for prospective students

    Always keep this in mind; You are here for your education, not for anything else. I realize it is fun once in a while to go out and have a good time, however don't let this take over your life. A few of my own friends have made the mistake of enjoying college a little too much and now completely regret it. Not only have they lowered their gpa, but they are on academic probation and were kicked out of their own majors, as well as losing friends due to inappropriate actions while intoxicated. Be smart, not dumb!
    Great for these types of students

    EVERYONE! Take my word, you will all love this university. Kutztown is the way to go!

    Being an art major requires a enormous amount of dedication and time, as well as knowledge. With the help of the remarkably intelligent staff at Kutztown University, the learning environments are ones in which a student can feel comfortable asking questions without feeling any less intelligent than others. However, it is not only within the art field that professors treat students with enormous respect. All professor I have encountered over the last three semesters I have attended Kutztown University have only wanted one thing for myself, as well as my classmates, which was to see each and every one of them at their highest potential in order to help them succeed further in college.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am currently living on campus at Kutztown University and cannot describe how much I enjoy it. There are constantly activities going on within every dorm in order to get students familiar with processes of school, as well as with others living with them in their dorm. While walking around campus, it is only on an extremely rare occasion that you will ever see someone who does not pass a smiling face back at you. In general, the people at Kutztown University are very kind-hearted, and would be more than willing to lend a helping hand if someone needed it, in any way they knew how, for anyone.
    Bang for the buck

    Money is something that is very tight for me. I am financing my entire way through school, so it is important to save as much money as possible, so I am not worrying about having to pay back loans for the rest of my life. With tuition being one of, if not THE lowest, in PA, Kutztown University is a great school with a wonderful reputation, that will not burn a hole in your pocket for attending.
    Tips for prospective students

    For any student whom wants to attend Kutztown, I wish you luck, and highly recommend it. The biggest tip I have that I could share with a prospective student is to try their best to come to school without any form of prejudices, or prejudgments on what college is all about; leave the stereotypes behind and take advantage of meeting new people whom will become your lifetime friends.
    Great for these types of students

    Kutztown is a great school for anyone who wants to push themselves to create a better future for themselves. It is also wonderful for anyone who wants to attend college, but is financially bond to a low budget.

    I learn a lot from my classes here. The smaller classes are good for more one-on-one time with teachers. They also have lecture halls which appeals to a different group of students as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    Kutztown has an amazing atmosphere for brotherhood/sisterhood and getting to know tons of people.
    Tips for prospective students

    College isn't as scary as people make it out to be. Always remember to stay organized. Get a calendaror white board to write down your scheduled dates for homework and papers due. You will get out of this school what you put in.

    Kutztown University is great for students who aren't looking for city-living. It is more small town with down to earth professors and peers.

    I love Kutztown! I've learned so much about myself, not just what the Profs. have to say. The learning is not just limited to the classrooms, and lecture halls.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is so much to do for such a little town. The students are all warm and friendly so there is never a lack for company. Also with 200+ clubs and organizations there is always an event or program that may interest you.
    Bang for the buck

    The dorms are pleasant, albeit a little expensive for a state school. But they are high quality and very comfortable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring some pictures of family. Also don't go home often. The best part of being here is the actual home-from-home atmosphere. Most colleges boast they have it, but you can really feel it here.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for social students. Students looking to work with children (there are two day-cares on campus) or the public. The school has a noted Criminal Justice Department and a newly expanded Art Building.

    Tips for prospective students

    My biggest tip for prospective students i not to settle for a school you are not completely sure or enthused to go to. When I went to visit, I didn't feel what I had heard you would feel when you knew it was right. I kept trying but I didn't. I did however like the campus but I just did not feel like traveling to visit other schools. I feel that if I had and in the end still chose KU, then I would be at peace with my decision. Unfortunately, I feel that there were other possibilities out there that I could have taken but I chose to just visit that one only... and I had gotten accepted to many. After i made my decision I was happy but even to today I still wonder what if....
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students who love to party. There is always a party, no matter what your race is. There is also lots of on-campus activities but you have to be pro-active about it.

    I wasn't into the activities or parties, so I was bored. I am hoping to have a better year and to engage more.

    If you are a person who is scared to be in huge lecture classes then Kutztown is place for you. You get to be one on one with your professors and you are not seen as just a body, you can create a one on one relationship with your professor. Causing you to reach the maximum learning ability possible. The professor's are there to help out the student, and teach them more than just the material, they will also help you build the skills that you will use for the rest of your life.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being at Kutztown University! There is always something to do, you just need to be bold and go out to the activities. There are so many organizations that you can get involved in. Last year i was in a few and it kept me busy, and i met wonderful people along the way.

    Kutztown Univesity tries their very best to keep everything at a low cost. There are multiple scholarships and always are willing to help find a way around money issues.

    I am a current student at Kutztown University, I am going to be a Junior, and I have lived in the residence halls for two years and plan to continue living in the residence halls this upcoming year. Ever since I have been in Kutztown I am challenged to the fullest of my knowledge. I learn so much in my classes and I am really enthusiastic about learning more. Kutztown provides me with the best environment for my brain to soak up intelligent information.
    Am enjoying being here

    Kutztown University provides their students with a lot of fun events such as trips to NYC, movies every weekend, and other events from the ACE program. Although there are events that keep me entertained I am still provided with quiet hours where I can focus on big projects and study. That is why I love Kutztown University so much because I am able to study hard with out getting distracted but I can also reward myself at the end of the day with fun activities around campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Although college puts a hole in my pocket, it is affordable for a university that has a beautiful campus and worth wile classes that will provide you with knowledge for a lifetime. Kutztown is great for someone who has a moderate budget and still wants a quality education. With any university you go to there is a price to pay and you are definitely getting your money's worth at Kutztown University!
    Tips for prospective students

    Be aware of your self control. Know how much fun you can handle with out going over board and forgetting why you are at Kutztown University! It is easy to get lost in fun events, meeting new friends as well as parties. As long as you stay focused in your studies you will be rewarded with great outcomes and confidence. Also don't forget to reward yourself because if you work hard you deserve it!
    Great for these types of students

    Kutztown University is known for its great education and art programs. Also some other popular majors include and are not limited to: English and writing, psychology, criminal justice, math, political science, and the sciences. Every one I know is very enthusiastic about their major and loves the school! Also if you are a student who is very involved with your family and work at home this school is great for you because a lot of students like to go home on the weekend. You will love this school if you want to be close to home but far enough to be independent.

    The University and surrounding town is very welcoming and provides tons of activities for all students, from incoming freshman to seniors. The University works with the community in many events and has many different groups and clubs for you to join; there's something for everyone here.

    Although going to college is expensive, and with the budget cuts it has only become more expensive, Kutztown is still focused on providing the best possible education for it's students. Since Kutztown is a state school, it is cheaper than other colleges/universities, but you receive an excellent education. The professors here have graduated from outstanding schools, such as Harvard and Yale and are very knowledgeable. As far as the atmosphere of the University, it is very welcoming. It's definitely an experience of a lifetime.

    The classes are fantastic as long as you pick the right professors. Ask around before you schedule so that you know which professors you will like and which ones to avoid. They really are the key to learning in a college class.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and all the people are warm and friendly. There's plenty to do around town whether that means just hanging in the dorms or taking a walk down Main Street. Also, there are usually plenty of on-campus events organized by students.
    Bang for the buck

    Any college education is worth the money but this is one of the cheaper places to go. The tuition is relatively low and the classes are great. At first it may seem like you're not learning anything new, especially if you were an honor student in high school, but by second semester your brain is full of new knowledge.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you visit the campus first to get a feel for it. It is a gorgeous place but it may not be for everyone. Also, don't worry about not being able to make friends or that everyone already has their group. There are so many new people coming in all the time. There are no set groups or cliques. Everyone is friends with or at least friendly to everyone. Just relax and enjoy yourself when you're there.
    Great for these types of students

    Kutztown is great for anybody really. It has the feel of a small city without the ridiculous traffic and noise yet it's far enough away from everything that it feels very rural at times. I encourage you to visit at least once to get a feel for the campus before deciding to attend.

    Make sure your major is still being offered. Recently, to save money, the university has cut back on a major or two, so don't spend money at a school where you won't get what you need.

    I love attending Kutztown University. The outdoors are gorgeous full of trees and flowers and its just a lovely place. Its definitely not a small amount of students but its not crazy and crowded either, it's a nice in the middle amount.
    Tips for prospective students

    While Kutztown may seem like a little now where town if you take the time to walk around there are a lot of nice little stores all over town. Make sure that you spend time getting to find your classes early though because some of the buildings can get a little confusing.
    Academic Rigor

    You definitely have to be willing to work hard. Some of the classes are really difficult but if you work hard great grades are possible.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life really depends on what dorm your in. I spent my first year in Deatrick and HATED it but when ever I went to visit some of the other dorms they were much nicer. As long as you get a good roommate and take advantage of some of programs your dorm runs dorm life is good.
    Food and Dining

    Food and Dining can be iffy. Some of they places to get food are GREAT while others are only so-so. One great thing is in the South Side Cafe they have an all you can eat play that fits on your meal plan.
    What to do for fun

    There are lots of things to do for fun at KU. There is alway advertising for clubs and in the MSU they nearly always have something to do. KU also has a lot of different sports teams you can either join or watch.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One thing that KU does that I think is fun is Humans VS. Zombies.
    Great for these types of students

    I think KU can fit a lot of different students. Its not a huge campus and is set in a small college town so that might make some students more comfortable while for the students that like bigger cities both Allentown and Reading are both only 30 mins away.

    This school offers a major in education for the blind and visually impaired, it is not a very easy major to come by. If it weren't so far away then I would definitely go to this school.

    Kutztown University has a beautiful campus, with old brick buildings and short distances between them. The Professors are intelligent and helpful. Kutztown is a friendly town, and everything is walking distance!
    Tips for prospective students

    Go out and do everything you can, join clubs and do activities! The way to have a good college experience is to make friends and go do things! There are plenty of activities, something for everyone from Quidditch to Football to Art Club.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes are a lot of work, and that should be expected it's not High School anymore. You're going to need to go to class and do the work, don't get too caught up in the freedom and forget what you're paying for, put effort into the classes and then have fun!
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are less than what you expect probably, there are a lot of students living all in one place, you'll most likely share a bathroom with 30 or more people and you'll have a room mate. The beds and furniture are standard, nothing special but the buildings are generally nice! Respect the other people that live there, and hopefully they'll respect you too. You may even meet your best friends in the hall you live in. Set rules with your room mate right off the bat, so that when problems arise you can go back to the rules and say We agreed to this. The dorms do have quiet hours, and guest rules, but don't complain it's for your safety and benefit!
    Food and Dining

    Their are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat, a buffet style cafeteria, a Chik-Fil-A, Burger Studio and a Starbucks! There are two pizza places, to other burger places, and two wrap/salad places also on campus! Their are also three coffee places called Java City that have bagels, donuts, coffee etc. Their are places all over so you won't have to walk far to find the food you want! It's usually tasty and comes with variety!
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of activities that Kutztown sponsors, moon bounces, dancing, singing, movies etc. There are also a million clubs you can join, intramural sports, scientific clubs, crafty/creative clubs anything you can imagine! So get out and do anything and everything you can! The town is close enough to walk back and forth everywhere it has a CVS, a Dollar Store, several restaurants and lots of stores.
    Bang for the buck

    The dorms are nice, the classes are interesting and the town is nice. You get a lot for the little amount of money you pay, and it is a good reputable University.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Several places around in town are special to the Kutztown Students, the Airport Diner is open 24/7 and is so close you won't be able to help yourself, you and friends will walk down for breakfast in the middle of the night for sure! Spuds and Mama's Delight Pizza Shop are also popular places to grab a bite to eat late and night or for lunch on the weekends. The Strand is a popular movie theater that is family owned and only costs $5! The campus has many fountains that on hot days you might spot people splashing around in, and every year at the end of the year Kutztown has a pudding slide! You're in for a lot of fun if you come to Kutztown!
    Great for these types of students

    Kutztown is a good place for anyone, but the biggest and best programs are Art and Education, so if you're interested in painting/sculpting, any type of creating or teaching, this is your school! But Kutztown has a lot of other good programs and could be a marvelous fit for any student!
    Clubs and Activities

    Kutztown has hundreds of clubs, intramural sports, free movies, and free and fun activities. I'm sure you could find plenty of clubs and activities that fit your interests and schedule!
    Greek Life

    Kutztown has Fraternities and Sororities and both are welcoming to all! Greek Life movies are nothing like the real life experience, they are excepting and fun and give you great connections for the future.
    Campus Safety

    Campus Safety is great! There are blue buttons all over campus that you can push and a Public Safety officer can come help you or walk you somewhere. The shuttle runs from 7:30 am till 4pm on week days and from 7:30 am till 3 am on Thursday through Saturday, in case you need to get somewhere safely! The doors to all dorms need to be swiped into with your ID so strangers will never be able to get into the building, and the rooms all have locks and dead bolts so your stuff is safe when you leave!

    kutztown university is a phenomenal choice for students choosing to continue their education in the pennsylvania state-school educational system. ku has caring professors, a great student-driven atmosphere, and the campus has received awards for its attractive appearance. there is not another school in pa that can compete with the affordable tuition and the great education that students will receive.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure that you come to college with an open mind. in high school, conforming to other's beliefs was cool, at college, it's cool to come up with your own. also, make sure that you are able to balance the academic and social life appropriately. it's ok to have fun, but make sure that you are able to handle both.
    Academic Rigor

    you will get out of college what you put in to it. that rings true with academics as well. the classes are hard, but only if you make them hard by not attending class and not studying.
    Dorm Life

    dorm life is great. it is a fun, energetic atmosphere where there are always non-alcohol related programs that students can attend-for free! at ku, the residence halls surround a large grassy plot of land on the south end of campus, so all of the dorms leak out on to one area of campus. that are acts as a hub for hangouts, sun bathing, frisbee, and campus wide events.
    Food and Dining

    kutztown recently changed food vendors to aramark, the same company that supplies food to the philadelphia phillies stadium and other colleges and major sports venues. the food is great, and the prices are affordable.
    What to do for fun

    there is always something to do on campus. for those that say there is never anything to do, my response is always the same: you aren't looking hard enough. we have free movies that play thursday-sunday nights, sponsored bus trips to nyc, free food and games in the student union building, over 150 clubs and organizations to try out, among many other things. there is always something to do that is a fun and exciting.
    Bang for the buck

    just like stated before, you can't get a phenomenal education like this for this price anywhere else. the professors here are top of the line, and they put a lot of hours in to making sure that students get the education that they pay for and they deserve.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    we have a festival called bear fest, which has been going on for about 35 years now. in april towards the end of the semester, there is a week long outdoor festival and all of the events are free. the tradition is that on tuesday night, there is a pudding slide. yeah, i said it. pudding slide. there are about 500 gallons of chocolate and vanilla pudding laid out on tarps and students can slide down them, all covered in pudding. great fun, and really fun to watch.
    Great for these types of students

    students that are comfortable meeting others, spending time with friends, going to class regularly, being held accountable for their own actions and academics, and who can enjoy the simple things on a college campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    out of this world. over 150 clubs to choose from. if you want to try something and you can't find the right club to join that fits your needs, start a club. it's that easy.
    Greek Life

    our greek life is phenomenal. at this point, the greek culture on campus is growing and getting larger, and the students in the greek life organizations are committed to community service and making kutztown seem like a socially exciting school.
    Campus Safety

    ku has its own public safety department, which is an actual police force that is commissioned by the state of pa. that police force, combined with 24 staffed desks at the front of the residence halls makes for a campus that is safe and enjoyable.

    Academic Rigor

    It depends on the professor that you mange to get but most professors are will to work with you, as long as you try and they see that you are trying. Some professors are difficult and expect a lot out of you because you are in college but you just have to work with their style.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life isn't bad at all its actually where I made most of my friends. The dorms are pretty clean, granted not everyone is the cleanest person.
    Food and Dining

    Well its nothing like home cooking but the food isn't that bad. There are many different place on campus that all serve different types of food. There are heathy options for those are try to stay on the healthy side and the dinning service even provides options for those with special needs such as having allergies and being a vegetarian.
    What to do for fun

    After awhile it may seem like there isn't much to do in and around the college but once you get involved with any of the clubs and activities that soon fades away. If your not into the clubs just making stuff to do with your new friends takes up the time.

    Attending Kutztown was one of my better decisions, The classes aren't so big that you feel like you are overwhelmed and some are even like high school classrooms. If you need help with anything, the professors are always willing to give you extra attention and most of the time if you put in the effort to work harder, they'll give you extra points.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful. The people here are great as well, there are many opportunities to be a part of something or be someone on campus. I've made so many friends just being in a dorm setting and these are friends I plan to keep for the rest of my life.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other schools, Kutztown isn't bad with money. Especially since it is a state school, and there are so many opportunities for scholarships.
    Tips for prospective students

    My one tip is to do your work. I'm currently a sophomore and i realized just this year how much it takes to keep yourself going. Everyone thinks that Freshman year you can do whatever you want, but keep in mind that your freshman year impacts the rest of your college career just as much as any other year.

    Another thing, if you guys are looking to talk to new students just like you join this group, its for incoming freshman, class of 2016!!
