I came to the school because of itsQuite BrightComputer Science
I came to the school because of its reputation for a fairly good computer program. It does indeed have this, but the lack of academic and worthwhile social atmospheres make me feel like I'm wasting my time here. The classmates in my low-level classes aren't able to do work that was expected of me four years ago, and there isn't a very diverse group of people in the upper-level classes. The social life is fine until you get tired of drinking with mindless husks of what are supposed to be intelligent thinking persons.

Question
Be aware that the school has very littleQuite BrightCommunications
Be aware that the school has very little to do in the sorrounding area. There are many activities on campus but, they have poor attendence. Another thing to remember is that most people go home on the weekend, so the party is on thursday night. This can be a problem with early classes on friday. Other than that, the faculty is very friendly and helpful...ehm...for the most part. For communication studies majors, beware of Godich.

Question
ESU is a very good school if youBrightUndecided
ESU is a very good school if you are considering becoming an education major or if you're interested in sports. Most of the students are athletic and pretty laid back. They are not the most intellectually stimuating student body, and they can definitly be lazy. Also, not many students activly participate in class discussions, but professors appreciate it when they do. Most of the professors are helpful, and they are there to help you out or talk about class when you need to. If you have a learning disability, the LD department is very helpful and the LD advisors are great. The campus is small, so it's easy to get to know people, though it's difficult unless you live on campus. Parking sucks usually and the dorms are so-so. Food isn't bad at all, and there are activities and clubs, you just have to look for them. The town has some resturaunts and bars and Thursday night is a big party night, but the town nightlife isn't all that great but it's suburban and it's in the pocono mountains so if you enjoy the outdoors (hiking, canoeing, camping, etc.) then you would probably enjoy the location.
