I came to Shippensburg because it was one of the first universities to offer a biotechnology program. I thrived at Ship due to small class sizes, easy access to professors, because I found a group of students to study with. I took advantage of the unique opportunity to do my own research. I wrote a small grant proposal and won. I did two years of biology research with knowledgeable and friendly professors. These guys became lifelong mentors and friends. I was accepted to every graduate school I applied to, based largely on my research experience.

Saying that you graduated from Shippensburg won't automatically open doors the way being a Penn State grad will. But the opportunities and quality of education you can get at Ship will make you marketable if you take advantage. I lived off campus and rarely partied. Alcohol is new and exciting for most college students. Learning to drink responsibly will make you happier in school and after.

Shippensburg was always the small local college. I swore that I would never attend this school. When I ended at Shippensburg I fell in love and it has completely restructured my life and has put me on a path bound for personal and career oriented success and satisfaction. I could not ask for anything more than this university. The school is constantly growing, improving, and renewing itself, which is very refreshing and motivating.

You have to try to make the most out of Ship because it isn't just given to you on a silver platter. The school is not the most competitive or difficult and that could end up hurting when it comes to GMATs and GREs because you can be caught unprepared. BUT the faculty is very friendly and acessible, there are dozens and dozens of clubs to participate in, the school is affordable, and it's the best of the PA state system. I had a great time at Ship, the biggest negatives are the town of Shippensburg (which is rural, conservative, and useless) and it's lack of challenge. The positive is that it isn't cuthroat, affordable, great people, safe, and very accesible.
Collaboration/Competitive: A-, Surrounding City: F
