    Will learn a lot

    The student to teacher ratio is about 16:1. You will have more of an opportunity to have one on one learning experience. Also there are no teaching assistants or student teachers, they are all professionals.
    Will enjoy being here

    Everyone at the school lives in a small atmosphere which enhances the closeness of the students. Everyone is so nice and friendly.
    Bang for the buck

    Everything about this school seems worth the $36,000 a year, except the dorms. I expected a private school to have much nicer dorms than just the standard ones, especially now since more schools are building new dorms so everyone can have a suite dorm. However, to get a nice dorm you either need to get into the honors dorms or wait to be an upperclassman.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm a graphic design major at Seton Hill University and I am given the opportunity to use a wide variety of resources here. There is a Macintosh computer lab for the graphic design students with the Adobe Suite on each computer. I am learning a ton about Photoshop in my digital imaging class! I also have a theatre technology minor and am part of the color guard with the marching band. The new Performing Arts Center is amazing and has a ton of wonderful working space for both the theatre and music programs.
    Am enjoying being here

    Seton Hill has hit me as a friendly school from the start. Everyone here is so nice and it's really easy to make friends! The faculty is great; they try to get to know you as a person and are always willing to help you with any of your schoolwork as long as you are willing to work hard. I feel very at home in my dorm, I live with some pretty amazing people and it's always fun to be there!
    Bang for the buck

    Seton Hill isn't exactly cheap, but the students here are given many opportunities to further their education using the best resources around like computer labs, some of which are open 24/7, projectors in every classroom, and more. It is an older school, so the buildings and dorms here are old, but I think that the older buildings give the school a much more cozy feel. My one friend lives in a dorm with hardwood floors, and it feels a lot like a home.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to people when and if you come visit. Take a tour of the buildings and performing and visual arts centers, both inside and out. Look to see if the school will fit your major well and if you feel that you will get a good, hands on education here. You'll know if the school is right for you once you've seen it.
    Great for these types of students

    Music, art, theatre, psychology, English

    Seton Hill is a great place to learn, make friends and grow as a person. IF you are in a jam with Rez Life than dont except them to make good choices they might screw you over. Other stuff members are great and friendly
    Tips for prospective students

    If you like small class sizes, know everyone, and being away from a town but close enough to walk down a hill than you are set, if not do not go here.
    Academic Rigor

    The studies here can be hard if you dont study, but if you do and study alot you will be fine.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms just depend on who you room with and others around you. I haven't had a great dorm life because of old roommates, but it has been getting better.
    Food and Dining

    The dining hall has its days were I wonder, but thats with all places you attend. It has its ups and downs but for the most part the food is always good.
    What to do for fun

    Hanging out with friends, random trips to Pittsburg, and chilling on Sully Lawn are always fun.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is always the fun in looking for the unground tunnels that lead from St. Vincent to Shu from the old days.
    Great for these types of students

    Shu is great for students that like small classroom settings
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs and activites to get involved in while attending shu.
    Greek Life

    We dont have a Greek Life, but we are begining to get them around now which should be interesting.
    Campus Safety

    The campus does a great job with the safety of its students, there hasn't been a time where i haven't not felt safe.

    seton hill is a small campus that caters to one on one student/faculty collaboration. it can get kinda quiet and boring at times but the special attention students receive makes it worth checking out. they do make a big deal out of attendance though...
    Tips for prospective students

    try to have a clear idea about what you want to major in. seton hill is very expensive and being undecided there is costly
    Academic Rigor

    things move pretty quickly at seton hill but they have tutors and other addition help should you fall behind. some of the science courses are very difficult.
    Dorm Life

    the resident halls are very clean and friendly. the small student ratio fosters unity among the students. everybody knows everybody and residents like to help each other out.
    Food and Dining

    the food is the absolute best! there is so much to choose from!
    What to do for fun

    seton hill invited performers to campus to entertain students.

    It is an old school with very nice people. They also have a great academic program. There is a lot of good things in and about Seton Hill.
    Tips for prospective students

    Greensburg, the location of Seton Hill, is an old city so it's not like Pittsburgh or a big, busy city, but the people here are very nice.
    Academic Rigor

    I haven't taken my classes yet, but I expect it to be fairly challenging. I think they advise for students to take about 2 hours a week to study for each class they have.
    Dorm Life

    I can't comment because I haven't seen the dorms while the students were living in them, but there are no illegal drugs or alcohol so it must be safe.
    Food and Dining

    It is great! They have buffets with a salad bar, ice cream, and dessert treats though I'm not sure if they have all of these everyday.
    What to do for fun

    There are activities and clubs for everyone and for almost everything.
    Bang for the buck

    There is an all-you-can-eat option with each meal, plenty of activities and opportunities, plenty of teachers to talk to if you're having trouble, and an exercise center, and a butch of things so I think it's worth the money you pay to go here.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a cemetery about 100 feet of the dorms, but one of the students said you get used to it. Besides, it's full of nuns and holy people so I don't think they will haunt you. :)
    Great for these types of students

    Great for student who like the quiet life and good company.
    Clubs and Activities

    A butch of clubs and activities.
    Campus Safety

    They have emergency phones outside almost everywhere so it is really safe.

    I rate Seton Hill University an eight. I give the school an eight because it's a small campus and the teachers pay attention to the students. I also like this school because it's a liberal arts university.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students is to be prepared for college and do not take it as a joke.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of fun things to do at Seton Hill. One thing I enjoyed my freshman year was when the RA's would have floor events. It was always something to look forward too.

    Positive:
    I love my teachers and small classrooms.
    Beautiful campus.
    Its nice to have small campus but it also has its draw backs.
    Pittsburgh is only an hour away.

    Negative:
    Small campus gets annoying after awhile.
    Recommend having a vehicle.
    Social life is not the greatest.
    Its expensive!

    Overall, a great school but it is not for everybody!
    Tips for prospective students

    Come visit before you commit to anything. Spend the night on campus to get a real feel for it, if you can.
    Academic Rigor

    Depends on your major and what classes you take.
    Dorm Life

    Depends on the dorm but do not expect anything luxurious.
    What to do for fun

    Different things to do around the Greensburg area but many of the best activities require you to be 21!

    Seton Hill has a beautiful campus. Nowhere else will you get the one on one experience with faculty members who actually know your name. Its small size make Seton Hill the most personable school I know of.
    Tips for prospective students

    Have an open mind. If you're looking for a school where you're not just another number, Seton Hill University is the place for you.
    Academic Rigor

    It depends on your major. What I like about it is, because it's a liberal arts school, in order to graduate you must take a wide variety of classes involving various subject matter. This aids in becoming a more well-rounded individual.
    Dorm Life

    Honors housing is amazing, and after freshman year anyone can live there!
    Food and Dining

    The Cove is renovated and open when you're the hungriest!
    What to do for fun

    Greensburg is a quaint town, but there is always something to do.
    Campus Safety

    I've never felt more safe.

    Seton Hill was an excellent school with a caring staff committed to working with the students. The location was perfect. The major drawback of the school are the dorms.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would recommend touring the campus with a student that has been their for a while. Also, tour the local community because despite it being urban, Greensburg is a fairly small community.
    Academic Rigor

    The course that students are expected to keep up with and the classes themselves guarantee that students will get the most out of their education.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are the major problem with the school. It's nice that most of them connect to the main building but they are old, have unpredictable heating, very thin walls, plumbing issues, and electrical issues. If you are lucky enough to be in a newer dorm, you have the misfortune of hiking to and from class because the dorms are so far away.
    Food and Dining

    The food choices and options for where to eat are great.
    What to do for fun

    The school organizes various activities for students. The community usual has something going on as well. There is also a very large mall and movie theater not far away.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Christmas on the Hill, Seton Hill's Christmas celebration, is pretty amazing and not something you want to miss.
    Campus Safety

    There is always campus security around no matter the time.

    Am learning a lot

    The Writing Popular Fiction Graduate Degree is amazing. Small enough for a really good one-on-one feel with the teachers, incredibly supportive, and more packed with information than I have ever seen in a school.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's fun, being able to do what I most want to do, and the program is meant to be engaging and enjoyable.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely a good deal.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that you really want to write popular fiction--it's incredibly worth it, but it isn't a cakewalk. You can't be lazy. If you want to write more literary things, it's probably not for you, either, since the focus is in Fantasy, Scifi, Romance, Horror and Thriller.
    Great for these types of students

    Creatives who haven't had a chance to really do the genres they want to do in undergrad. People with a need to write who want to explore their genres and learn more than you can from a book. People who have stories to tell and just need to learn how to get them out.
