Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Potomac State has a small campus. There are about thirty students in a class which allows professors to be able to work more with each student.
Am enjoying being here Since Potomac State has a small campus, all the buildings are close together. Therefore, I can wake up fifteen minutes before class starts and still make it to class on time. Also, I have made a lot of new friends, and I enjoy the new experiences as a college student with them.
Bang for the buck Potomac State College is not very expensive and the campus offers different programs to help the students in and outside of class. For example, Potomac State offers free tutoring, free Internet use, and professors will meet with students after class if the student needs more help. Also, there are sports teams and spirit teams for those sports teams. PSC is worth every penny.
Tips for prospective students As a current PSC student, my advice to future PSC students is to stay out of trouble and the year will go smoothly.
Great for these types of students PSC is great for the types of students who have trouble concentrating, students who need more one on one teaching, students who did not do very well in high school and plan on attending West Virginia University, and students who like to start out small.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Diverse but far from challenging. Not the best place to due to people you may end up living around. Professors are pretty good, though.
Tips for prospective students If you could go somewhere else, it would be best suggested. It's not too bad making friends, but there's a lot of ridiculous stuff that goes on and you're going to have to fight to be heard.
Academic Rigor Just go to class! Do what you have to and you'll be fine.
Dorm Life You can meet some really amazing people, but some can be extremely inconsiderate and the RA's don't hardly do anything, if helpful at all. You really have to fight for your rights.
Food and Dining They try to be creative on special days and they have a nice space and selection.
What to do for fun It probably be best to drive, but they try to organize some things for the students.
Bang for the buck It's ok but if you could go somewhere else of commute, it's highly suggested.
Campus Safety There are always fights, never ending drugs and alcohol although it's a 'dry' campus. People brag about drinking and hanging on campus, drinking and driving, getting high in the apartments, and etc. There have been several threatened assaults as well as some dangerous situations for females. The RA's would rather not have to answer their doors and campus police either don't pick up the phone or would rather not concern themselves with much at all.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot In the year and a half i have been attending Potomac State College, I have definitely learned a good amount. The professors there do an outstanding job and the class sizes are small therefore there is more one on one time available with the professors.
Am enjoying being here The atmosphere is very calm. It has a small town feel but at the same time you get the same experiences which you could find at any other university.
Bang for the buck Out of state tuition really is not expensive whatsoever. All in all it is a great deal money-wise.
Tips for prospective students The most important thing when it comes to attending Potomac State College is; you have to be prepared for the small town, country type feel. There are students who prefer a bigger campus as well as students who prefer a smaller more calm atmosphere.
Great for these types of students Great for students who are really looking to focus on their studies. It is also a good place for students who may not be completely prepared for a large university.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Potomac State is a very diverse school with teachers and students being here. The Teachers are very flexible with the grades, classes and making you understand what is going on. The academic success center are always willing to help you and they are good at their job.
Tips for prospective students make sure you buy all of your books for every class. Always talk to your teachers about your grade; if you could do anything to raise it, it shows you care about your grade. Being a student should be your number one priority.
Academic Rigor I choose this school because it specializes in my major which is criminal justice. So my teachers are very helpful.
Dorm Life The RA's take their job way to serious. They make being in the dorms a little uneasy. I understand we need structure but also we are in college.
Food and Dining The food is okay. Its not the best food but it gets your day started. i really dont use the cafe because i dont like the food.
What to do for fun On campus there's a few activities you can do and that they set up for us. if you were wanting to do something off campus, you would have to go to Cumberland to do something. There is nothing to do around the school.
Great for these types of students Potomac state is great for students who don't like big schools. This school is very small; everyone knows everybody. If you want a personal relationship with your teachers.
Clubs and Activities There is a lot of sports here, and intramural sports here
Greek Life there is none, but i wish.
Campus Safety I feel very safe with the campus police here. they go over and beyond to keep us safe.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences potomac state college is a good starting college for a year, if you hae to stay here longer it's boring. potomac state college creates drama and sense it's so small everyone knows everyones business and names. it helps to come here in a sport because your year(s) go by fast.
Tips for prospective students keep your business to yourself and dont trust everyone. keep an organized agenda of when your tests, assignments, etc are due.
What to do for fun the activities they have planned during the week. sports, games, movies, etc.
Bang for the buck coming to potomac and being here for 3 years because i played volleyball my first two i learned a lot about myself. i really grew up and became a mature young adult and learned what it was like to actually have friends. my friends in high school occured within the sport year (volleyball, basketball) i learned what it was like to actually have girlfriends that actually cared for you and trusted you and i learned to trust them back.
Great for these types of students if you aren't really social and don't worry about people knowing your business or don't need friends.
Campus Safety there is a campus police station right on campus.
