 | Quite Bright | College is all about what you make it. At Ship you definately have to seek out the challenges, and the good times. I've had no trouble finding some awesome people to befriend, and professors who are well learned and helpful. Students here tend to not be very academically oriented. I would prefer to work with a slightly more intellectually stimulated bunch. This is a fairly conservative area which is also a bit frustrating at times. The town is boring but if you are willing to seek out the surrounding area you will find lots of things to do . . . this is a gorgeous place to hike/bike/camp and plenty of bars and clubs exist if you know where to look. The art department is very tiny, but growing. If you want stimulated, involved faculty who care about you this is a great place. If you want state of the art facilities, excellent funding, and studio space go elsewhere. My experience here had been positive, but I am thinking of going to a grad school with a more academic oriented student body. | Faculty Accessibility: A, Useful Schoolwork: F | | | |

| Not so bright | I graduated from Ship in 93'. First night there found me at a party with about 50 other students - it was great. If you are easy going, like to party and flirt then Ship is a great place because it has a good party/social scene on the weekends and during the week if you look for it. Problem with this is that I grew tired of the party scene my the time my junior year rolled around - mostly becasue i had a steady girlfriend. Classes are interesting and pretty decent sized. Students are really friendly and the campus is beautiful. Not a good school for nerds. | Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Education Quality: C | | | |

| Bright | 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 | | | |
