Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Chemistry  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright After returning for homecoming I must say I was very disappointed with the what I saw. Some good housing improvements is not enough to hide the poor state of the campus ESPECIALLY THE MORAL. I will spare the detail and sum up with this statement. In order to improve this campus one must make capital improvements. Obviously you must have capital to do so. Easiest way to raise capital for a college is through alumni. If the administration continues to insist on making the lives of students miserable, then the few whom choose to stay until graduation will not become donors!

I am from a small borough 5 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.... and this place is a JOKE. -$33,000 for outdated classrooms, old dorms, and all you're classes are generally in 2 OLD buildings. -It's all about what clique you associate with. If you're not in one, and associate with several groups, you're an outcast. -Greek life is a joke, 3 fraternities [Kappa Sigma, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon] 4 sororities [Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Kappa, Zeta Tau Alpha, Chi Omega ] -75% of the professors are arrogant, and we should kiss the ground they walk upon. -Public Safety is a joke. They ride around in a golf cart, with guns and think they're soooo tough. We pay their salary, which is an unneeded cost for the college BECAUSE they need to call Greenville PD for assistance on every single call. -AVI Foods, actually good. Bistro-Rotunda, Great yet expensive. -RD's, cool... RAs, stuck up and are always trying to bust people.... they go beyond the job description in many cases. NO MICROWAVES IN YOUR PERSONAL DORM ROOM??? GIVE ME A BREAK. -Sport teams below average, football team is a joke. Wrestling, Baseball/Softball, Volleyball teams are actually good... but the sports facilities are even worse... 1970's style lockers. OLD 1980's style "fitness center" If you are a recruited athlete, I can almost guarentee that 75% of what the promise WILL BE FALSE! -Nightlife on campus and in Greenville, non-existant. Greenville is surrounded by corn fields and Amish. -Drinking pure bleach is a safer bet, then attempting to drink alcohol. Public Saftey will nail you to the wall in the court system if they cite you. "Safe drinking" only goes on at the fraternity houses, because they have "look outs"... but they don't welcome "outsiders" just looking to drink. It's all about who you know. If you're caught drinking, outside of the court troubles you'll deal with.... Bobbi Mutinelli [Asst. Dean of Studens] will FINE you $125 [Yes, ontop of whatever you get from the POLICE], make you do 25 hours of community service, and make you take a alcohol class and write a paper on it.... and she can make you do other things... including EXPULSION from the college!!!! A close friend was kicked out. -You DO NOT want to get in trouble on campus, they're ready to take your money and run after they kick your ass out of the door. They do play favorites, so if you're not their favorite kiss your ass good bye. "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" Campus Maintenance: A+, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

The cafeteria food is good and the staff id great. The campus is small and getting around is very easy. The sports teams are fun to watch and thye boost the student activities. Maintenance department is not always friendly and they could do a better job of repairing the buildings. Housekeeping ladies are very nice but do little to keep after the dust and dirt. Education experience is a Big Plus. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Campus Maintenance: D- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

However, I have no regrets about my 4 years at Thiel. I was recruited to play basketball and also participated in track and field. As sports took up most of my time, I was not so much bothered that it was a small town with little excitement. Thiel has a close-knit kind of feeling to it. Everyone basically knows everyone and you it's up to you to make a name for yourself. This works both ways, if you're a screw off and want to party all the time. You'll soon build that reputation. The teachers all knew not just my name, but all about me and would take time to help me, or even just to sit down and talk. The school made vast improvements in the time I was there; renovating buildings, apartments, built new town houses, a chapel, fitness center, and a football field just to name a few. There track and field team was probably the best experience of my life. The school is small, about 1,200 students and there is a real under-dog type feeling, but it just brings everyone closer. The track and field team has made vast improvements, along with the football team, both becoming national qualifiers. The school does lack many things, and being a private school is somewhat expensive, but you can see the money going right back into the school everyday. What Thiel lacks in facilities and night-life, it makes up for in character and personal attention. I recommend to not write off Thiel from a couple bad reviews and don't choose a school based on whether or not it's a good party school or exiting town. (the difference between a party at Thiel and a party at Penn State: 12 people in a room drinking/ 25 people in a room drinking) Individual Value: A+, Surrounding City: D- Have a Question?
