Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Chemistry  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I'm a second semester sophomore student majoring in Biochemistry. The department has some professors that are excellent - helpful, knowledgeable, relevant - however the majority tend to be difficult. They are not available most of the time, they have difficulty communicating concepts to students in the classroom and they tend to assign busywork. Walking to class everyday is rather depressing. The campus is not well maintained and most of the students I pass seem miserable. As for the weekends, there's not much to do. There's the occasional house party, but they get old fast. Some extracurricular activities are worth doing (the school has a killer Jazz Ensemble), but for the most part they're of poor quality. Also, a large percentage of the student body comes from the local Wyoming Valley (with a lot of them resorting to Wilkes as their school of last resort). Great pharmacy and nursing programs, superb engineering program, but other than that look for other schools. I plan on transferring out for the Fall 2012 semester.

I am transferring next year. Everyone wants to transfer, or wishes that they did. Everyone goes home on the weekends. There is nothing to do. I find that I am constantly harassed by homeless people for money and cigarettes. The school work is nothing. The pharmacy students think they are better than everyone. Everyone else is second class. And the food sucks. Extracurricular Activities: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I was a biology major and teachers were just fabulous; however, I wouldn't say the same about other science major professors. There wasn't much to do outside the school. It got pretty boring at times when we had nothing to and nowhere to go. However, Wilkes has plenty of events planned to keel you involved. You just need to when it is because most are not that well publicized. Overall, I loved the academic experience I got there Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: D+ Have a Question?
