    Terrible experience at the college. The staff don't care about students and tell students that they…read moreshould drop out and that they're stupid. In addition, it's very expensive and there's often little assistance offered to students.

    The professors are amazing, and almost every single one will know you by name, who your friends…read moreare, and extra-curricular activities you are involved in. There are plenty of resources available on campus, ranging from mock interviews with potential employers to a multitude of tutoring (which is included in your tuition, and no fees will be paid for each visit). I have actually found a job through one of the job fairs here. While the campus may be a bit pricey, there are TONS of scholarships to apply for to receive directly from the campus. Also, it is DIFFICULT to fail here. The professors and advising teams do EVERYTHING in their power to help you succeed, it is just whether or not YOU let them help you, or YOU go to them when you're struggling. The campus has a family-like atmosphere, and everywhere you go doors are held for you. Unlike larger campuses, you see the President walking around and interacting with students every day he is on campus. This campus gave me a family that saved my life, and kept me from ruining it by dropping out. While it is a small campus, and it does have its "small-town" quirks, I don't think I could have made a better choice than the one I did when deciding to come here! (And NO this was not scripted, lol.)

    I've been to two colleges in my time and Juniata was far the better of the two. Everyone on the…read morestaff was friendly, I can honestly say there was never anyone who wasn't polite and helpful. My mother sent three kids through college and was spoiled by me being first and going to JC. She had so much trouble with the other schools when it came to financial issues and sorting out parental matters. As for the academics, I learned from some of the most enthusiastic professors. If I have one complaint it's that the IT program didn't explode until after I graduated so I missed out on some amazing learning experiences. The town is a bit small and not for the easily bored - I on the other hand and no city girl and was perfectly happy in town. The college has some great traditions and you always feel like you're a part of the family - both while you're there and when you leave! If you're in the market for a school, JC is well worth a look!

    I'm visiting Juniata with my partner, who is an alumni and visiting lecturer this week. I've had a…read morechance to interact with many of the faculty and students and also see the campus, which is small, in comparison to some of the local campuses that I'm used to. Juniata is a fantastic Liberal Arts college, the kind of place that is welcoming to all students and has more opportunities than one would think for a college in the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania.

As such, I've been to Carlisle a number of times over the past 30 years, both as a prospective law student and as the parent of a DC student. Here's my "review" of Dickinson College and the surrounding town/area... Beautiful campus, strong alumni network, including extremely successful alums like the CEO/President of LL Bean. Numerous awards for being a top-rated college as to sustainability. Responsive staff. Small student to teacher ratio. Encourages students to find their passion, so interesting combinations of double majors and majors/minor abound, and students don't declare their major until Jr year, I believe. Encourages study abroad and for a somewhat unique statistic I think, Dickinson states that 60% of its student athletes do so, with the coaches' encouragement! Dickinson is what it appears to be, "family" to its alumns and students. Extremely supportive all-around. Location is close to Harrisburg, the Commonwealth's capital, as well as an easy 1.75 hour ride to Phila area (85 miles in my case!) as a straight shot down the PA Turnpike! One comment stated this is a boring school with nothing to do. That's ridiculous. There are attractions within an easy drive, _lots_of activities on campus, and a growing diversity of students. And, to callously call the surrounding area as being full of "red-necks" is nonsense. As a former diversity trainer with a major Fortune50 company and within the USCG Aux, that statement really jolted me. The folks in Carlisle may be more rural in background than say someone from a city or a suburb near a city, but they are welcoming and friendly. Judging an entire community based on some interaction had with one or two (perhaps) is simply unfair to the community as a whole). Go Red Devils! PS To YELP: Why the heck would you NOT recommend the 3 "Not Recommended" 5-star reviews that were well-written, thoughtful and gave details upon which the reviews were based? And, from both students and parents! I don't get it! If they were included, DC would have a near 5-Star rating which is more in-line with what I've experienced via the many alumns I've met, both at DC functions AND by pure chance in the "big outside world" where they had no reason to be biased in their view...i.e. I met them via normal, everyday encounters via my job, etc!
