 | Quite Bright | I hear the school is nice if you are a theater/dance major. The school of communications however, is in bad shape. Point Park doesn't give it much money so the equiptment is all very broken and used. There are not enough teachers to teach all the classes which also makes classes unavailable most semesters. Some of the teachers give assignments that are almost impossible to accomplish and the other half don't really give any. Some teachers are never around for help and never contact students back through email or phone. The communications school had me take 6 classes I didn't need and then told me I have to come and pay for an extra year to make up for the mistake. If the students have a collective problem about something, the school ignores it. A huge number of students transfer to other schools because of the ignored problems. The school spent over 6.6 million dollars to build a tiny park for students but refuses to give any money to the photography department (photography is expensive and they don't cover the costs just for the chemicals). | Collaboration/Competitive: A-, Education Quality: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | | Ok. I've been going to PPU since autumn as a High school dual-enrollment student. If anyone from Woodland Hills is reading this, DO THE COLLEGE NOW PROGRAM!! Dr. Denton and all the teachers I've interacted with have been friendly, and some have even bent over backwards to give me extra help. I've only taken a couple classes, so I don't have a total understanding of everything, however, the teachers I've had have been informed, helpful, and intelligent. The only thing I can say against them is that the course work is in no way challenging. It's interesting, yes, but every paper I wrote for my English 250 course was done an hour before the class started. I received A's on all of them. I've found it really hard to connect with current students, but this is real life. You'll find those rare people who you like and find interesting, and I think what's great about point park is that there are so many different types of people. The diversity is amazing, and I really appreciate it.Just my two cents on everything, I won't be continuing in college here because Point Park doesn't have what I want specifically, but I hope this helps someone out. | Individual Value: A+, Education Quality: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | | The Sport, Arts, & Entertainment Major is the only good thing going for this school, besides the competitive Dance department of course. However, as a freshman, this school's cons outweigh the pros. No student parking.. unless you wanna pay $300 a month in a garage, food service staff is terrible, Lawrence Hall Doubles are like cubicle sweat boxes, elevators are a pain in the ass everyday, no grass or scenery, nasty people on the streets around the college, and above all... kids are rude & fake. It is like high school all over again. Making friends here is like trying to become friends with a rock. If you are considering the SAEM major, live off campus!!! Point Park charges insane amounts to live even in the shittiest dorms. You may think there is great nightlife downtown, but you are wrong. Everything happens in Oakland, Duquesne, or Shadyside. You will be bored out of your mind. NOT WORTH THE MONEY... Should've gone to Pitt... | Scholastic Success: A, Collaboration/Competitive: F | | | |
