    Will learn a lot

    RMU has very very nice facilities, especially with their medical engineering programs. Everyone there is willing to help and friendly.
    Will enjoy being here

    Like I said, everyone I met there was very pleasant and helpful. The campus was so nice and had such a diverse and sophisticated feel to it. Anyone could find their nook there they have almost any activity available and if you want to start a club you can.
    Bang for the buck

    For the quality of the campus, education, and everyone there the price is decent. Plus, they really help you pay if you need it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just visit and talk to people from your program and any activities you're interested in.
    Great for these types of students

    focused and ones that want to really grow and find themselves in college

    Am learning a lot

    Robert Morris is greatly known for their facilities! The professors there are very professional and have a lot of experience with what they are teaching. The professors also want you to do well so they try and get you to participate and study. It is really nice too because the student teacher ratio is so small.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do not live on campus because I live so close to the school, but the time I am there for my classes and breaks I have are very enjoyable. The professors have a way to teach that keeps you interested so it is enjoyable for you. Also, there is a lot of diversity which is cool too to learn about others' cultures. There are a lot of clubs and activities of all sorts you can get involved in!
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, RMU is very expensive, but with what you are getting out of the college it is really worth your money! Also, if you are in need of money for tuition, they really help you out.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely open up, talk to, and get to know your fellow students as well as the professors. Especially if you are in a specific major it definitely helps with networking for finding a job! Also, get involved your freshman year!
    Great for these types of students

    This school is for very determined students. Students that are eager to do well! From the effort the professors put out, you as a student need to give back an equal effort, this goes for any college!!

    Bang for the buck

    It is a private school, so it is a bit expensive, but financial aid will really try to help you out if you are PERSISTENT.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the school before you check yes to attend. That is very important as you will see first hand what reviews cannot tell you.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking to only party and socialize, I would not suggest RMU to you. But if you are serious about your education and are looking for chances to be a part of an ever growing and changing environment where you can create anything you want, this is the place for you. Especially business, nursing and engineering majors.

    This school is a great place for academics and you will definitely be prepared for the work world. The school has a lot of different programs you can join in order to become very well rounded. They also offer tutoring for most subjects if help is needed.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that you stay focused, study, and communicate with your professors.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are focused and doesn't party a lot.

    loads of opportunities for work study, internships, and extra curriculars. but, academics are front and center and are led by world class faculty. there is a lot of financial aid available, too!
    Tips for prospective students

    1) be sure you understand the requirements for your major.
    2) get to know your professors. they are always helpful and want you to do well!
    3) rmu is commuter friendly, so check out off campus housing before you plonk down a huge chunk of change for a dorm.
    4) there is something here for everyone. get involved in one of the campus groups. we have everything from bible studies to swing dances- and yes, greek life too.
    Academic Rigor

    almost every professor is absolutely wonderful, but you need to watch out for the occasional part-time professor that isn't as good as he or she could be. stick with professors with a proven track record.
    Dorm Life

    personally, i had a bad experience living on campus. not everyone does, but after my freshman year i moved off campus. the facilities are nice, though. my main issue is that my room mate was pretty bad, but if i'd had a different room mate my experience could have been much better.
    Food and Dining

    fabulous! there is always a healthy option at one of the 3 on-campus eateries and tons of variety.
    What to do for fun

    there is scheduled programming on campus every friday night. also, the rmu island sport center is just a minute from campus and offers free or steeply discounted ice skating, golfing, bowling, and much more.
    Bang for the buck

    tuition and fees are very reasonable for a private school this size, and financial aid isn't stingy. but, housing and meal plans are a little expensive.
    Great for these types of students

    business, communication, and science majors like engineering and nursing.
    Clubs and Activities

    there is literally a club for everything- clubs for different majors, interests, advocacy...you name it, it's here.
    Greek Life

    greek organizations are pretty active on campus.
    Campus Safety

    rmu campus police are amazing. they are very helpful and have an active presence not only on campus but also in the township. they do everything from parking permits and law enforcement to emergency services like unlocking your car (been there) and jump starts.

    The courses are not too easy or too strenuous, and the teachers I have had are helpful but do not baby their students by any stretch. The campus is beautiful and easy to navigate, and the residence halls and campus facilities are great. Overall, I love RMU.
    Tips for prospective students

    Really get involved if you come to RMU - we have a lot of opportunity to be involved in the theatre, tv station, and radio, as well as the newspaper and literary journal. Also, there's a club or organization to suit virtually everyone.
    Academic Rigor

    My experience may be slightly swayed because I'm a media arts student and my first semester included a communication skills course, a math course, intro to psychology, and an art and a video course. So, the communication skills class was the only traditionally rigorous course (assignments and papers), while the art courses were a drawing per week or the production elements of a project. But, from my experience in my first week of my second semester, I'm seeing that this will be a more rigorous set or courses for me. So, it varies but overall the work can be a challenge, but I don't believe it could ever bury you. And in any such case, we offer free tutoring services.
    Dorm Life

    Living on campus was the best choice I ever made. I have made the best friends of my life in the semester I have been a resident student at RMU. And even beyond that, the Student Life department does a very good job of ensuring there are things to do on campus. Primarily we screen a movie almost every Friday and we have open mic every Tuesday night. Then, there's almost always something more. Also, a lot of the dorms will host their own events.
    Food and Dining

    The food is delicious, and it is real food. The cafeteria consists of an Italian station, a various fancy dinner kind of place, an Asian station, a burger and fry station, and a bakery and smoothie shop. It sounds simple as explained that way, but they have some wild food choices, You could get steak, filet mignon, or lobster, and we even have a wing night.
    What to do for fun

    Refer to my review of Dorm Life.

    Am learning a lot

    The work isn't easy, but as college students, that is what we need. Some of the classes you have to take like Public Speaking and Economics may not seem appealing, but I am definitely learning a lot in both of those classes this semester.
    Am enjoying being here

    I feel welcome here. Everyone is so friendly and positive. I love the marching band. It's the only activity I am a part of right now, but it feels like home.
    Bang for the buck

    With them just buying a hotel, tuition is rising a bit next year, but for the money we spend, we do get challenged and educated. We can also get a ton of free stuff they give out and some activites, such as the band, give a stipend so we get paid for going there too.
    Tips for prospective students

    *Make sure you know which major you want, or at least an area of interest.
    *Don't wait until after your first semester or year to get involved with activites. You will be very far behind.
    *Ask questions! All faculty and students are there to help you and point you in the right direction.

    These tips go for EVERY student at ANY school!

    Robert Morris University lives up to what it claims to be. It is business school and is all about it's business of turning out successful graduates. The Career Center will place you in a position that will make full use of your skills and talents.
    Tips for prospective students

    For any student out there that is considering RMU as a potential school there are a few things you need to know. First, this is a business school first and foremost, and the staff here is all about business. If you are looking to party in excess; seek your education elsewhere. Second, the professors here are really great and if you put forth some effort then they will help you as much as they can. They genuinely care if their students succeed.
    Dorm Life

    The standard dorms are not the greatest thing, but they are far from the worst I've experienced. The apartments are a good option if you can afford it. The Suites in Washington are probably the best option if you want to live on campus. Yorktown is good but kinda far away from campus if you don't have a car. Braddock is not bad either. But for the love of all that is decent avoid Gallatin like the plague
    Food and Dining

    The Food here gets three stars because it is good, but there is not a lot of variety and you may tire of it after your fist semester. However there are a lot of off campus options for food with in walking distance.
    What to do for fun

    RMU isn't too far away from Pittsburgh and Robinson Mall; so if you have a car then you are set. However if you do not have car then their are quite a few school sponsored events on campus that you can find to fill your time.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Robert Morris University, RMU, RoMo, Bobby Mo, Robby Bobby, and Good ole Robert Morris are all acceptable terms for the school.
    Sweall is pronounced Sueal and not Sea Wall.
    Great for these types of students

    Robbert Morris is good for driven students that want to be leaders in their field and communities
    Clubs and Activities

    Even though RMU is a small school. There are a truly massive amount of clubs, interest groups, and professional groups on campus. I am sure that a prospective student will find something to his or her liking. However if you can not find one the you can simply make one. the office of Student life is really helpful and is staff with great people that will work to make your vision a reality
    Greek Life

    Robert Morris has four NIC/IFC fraternities, three Panhellenic sororities and has two MPHC Greek letter groups as well. I am bias because I belong to a fraternity but I truly believe that RMU is one if the safest places to pledge to Greek Life. And this comes from some one whos was completely against Greek Life in high school. I found a home among my brothers and when times are hard and I can't make it on my own I know that they have my back and I wont have to do it on my own. Oh, and there is of course the parties. RAGE!
    Campus Safety

    Most people complain about the Campus police but even though they are a pain in the rear, they do take their job seriously and do a fine job of protecting the campus at large. Plus there are emergency lights place through out campus.

    rmu is a private university that helps each student fulfill their full potential. the classes are small, making it easy to get to know your professors. the campus is not too big as well, making it easy to get to any class in a matter of five minutes.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are a nursing major, come here. the program is one of the best in the state.
    bring sneakers because you have a lot of hills to walk up and down all over campus.
    Academic Rigor

    so far, my classes have been challenging but not so hard that i get lost when learning.
    Dorm Life

    the dorms are decent, but could be cleaner. the bathrooms are another story.
    Food and Dining

    the food on campus is pretty good. my only problem is i wish there was more options, like an on campus diner or something.
    What to do for fun

    open mic nights every thursday. movies played almost every friday night in romos. random on campus activities and sports events. nevell island, where you can ice skate and stuff.
    Bang for the buck

    the university is expensive because it's a private college, but they give out really good grants and scholarships.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    massey hall is located in the middle of nowhere. you walk through a forest and emerge to a giant building.
    Great for these types of students

    fit people.
    smart people.
    Clubs and Activities

    a lot of things to be involved in.
    Campus Safety

    we have an on campus department who drive around 24/7 to make sure all students are safe.

    Robert Morris is extremely student friendly and amazingly inviting; current students and teachers offer their assistance in any way they can. This makes the enrollment process much easier and you more confident in your choice of attendance at RMU.
    Tips for prospective students

    VISIT! You cannot appreciate the secluded campus feel without seeing it for youself. The campus seems isolated but right through the entrance there is a plaza across the road.
    ENGAGE YOURSELF! Don't be afraid to ask questions. Enrolling in college can be hard and sometimes scary. The people who work there are very helpful and willing to assist you, but only if you ask!
    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of places ot meet and study with other students. It is easy to make friends and find something to do thanks to the many clubs and organizations there.
    Campus Safety

    The campus has a safe home like feel thanks to it's sheltered location. You are always close to someone so the protection is wonderful.
