When I was looking at schools I wanted an out of state experience. Clarion had a beautiful campus and I remember my tour guide being friendly enough. My following experiences at the school, however, left much to be desired. To start the financial aid office, when they do take it upon themselves to actual work, is unhelpful and rude. Aid takes FOREVER to get through because of the incompetent staff. An awful woman named MaryJo had the nerve to tell me it was my fault that my aid was "pending" when upon further investigation we discovered it was a hold up on the office's side. Other academic offices are similarly unhelpful and condescending; they have no time to "deal with students." Other than a handful of wonderful professors the rest of the instructors are out-dated. Their syllabi have not changed, many since the 80s, and their teaching styles are monotonous lectures. I truly wish I chose a different school and I would not recommend this university to anyone. If all you want is a lukewarm education and less and mediocre concern for student life I'm sure there are cheaper options.

This is an awesome time. It's a bar town not a house party town, but if you think there is nothing to do ever your actually just a loser. Pussy is easy girls are dumb and hot. South and fifth are the only cool places to live.
