Juniata College challenges youBrightGeography and Geosciences
Juniata College challenges you to grow. They close relationships with professors are very valuable. Juniata College gave me lots of opportunities for the kinds of "hands-on" research that is usually done by graduate students at larger universities.

Question
Juniata is a place where I am proudBrightMath
Juniata is a place where I am proud to call home. The faculty members are highly credited and very intelligent. They also care about how you do prefessionally and personally. According to the Making a Difference College and Graduate Guide "At Pennsylvania's Juniata College students are encouraged to break the mold of comformity, to see their own truth, to think for themselves." I totally agree with this comment. My profs won't let me accept something because everyone else does; they make me look deeper find a stronger truth. Also Juniata students tend to do extremely well in graduate studies, I have friends at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton going to med. school and business schools. The science program at JC is awesome. One of my favorite parts about Juniata is the ability to be flexible. We can create our own major and still make it credible with the help of our professors. Students can prepare for exactly what they want to do. For example many students like to create a forensics major by combining law classes, chemistry, and physics. You can combine several majors, I also have friends who mix peace and conflicts studies with education. I also love the activities, the Juniata Habitat for Humanity is the greatest thing that happened to me. I met awesome people who give tons of advice. I think anyone who wants to change their life in college should be part of a club, it really makes a difference.

Question
This is the kind of place where everybodyBrightPolitical Science
This is the kind of place where everybody is completely concerned with having the exact same beliefs as the faculty. Ass-kissing and cut-throating are common practices. Facult spends more time spouting Anti-War, Anti-Bush, Anti-Conservative, etc and trying to develop plastic relationships which they call "a strong sense of community" instead of encouraging creativity in students. Debate is encouraged, but you are usually gunned down if you express something that conflicts with the view of the instructor (because all the students agree 100% with the instructor). You will spend more time smoking pot and playing hackey-sack than learning how to be a functional human being. The other students are stuck up, rich, green party, birkenstock wearing pieces of shit. The other end of the spectrum is sub-moronic, football playing, fat asses that got in because Juniata needs to improve its image by having a semi-good football team. There is no middle ground. The campus organizations are a joke (except PAX-O, which is for those dreadlock wearing bastards). The town is a crummy, over gentrificated example of what is wrong with not following the trends of globalization. Did I forget about their main goal being diversity. So out of 1200 kids there are 5 african americans, 3 asians, and a handful of European international students.For all you boozehounds- Parties are pretty lame, Girls are luke-warm at best, and they really crack down on alcohol (they don't care about pot though). By the way, the town hates the college so lots of ppl will flip you off and give you parking tickets. But let's not be pessimistic....let's look at the good things about Juniata College

GOOD THINGS: Science Program is Extraordinary
Choir is amazing (but there is no music major)
If you are a terrorist, they would like you
The food is excellent
If you are Al Gore, you would fit in They accept 80% of applicants
