A few weeks after I moved into the dorm the problems started. First a noose was put on my door, then people started telling me to "go back to the cotton fields were you belong".The racism got worse when i got a note threatening to kill me I went to the ResEd office I was told that "There is no racism at potomac state and I dount appreciate you falsely accusing our students". The final straw was in November police office opened my dorm room door and asked me where the drugs were, I told him I dont do drugs he then assaulted me demanding to know where I was hiding drugs, when he diddent get an answer he wrote up a report that I assaulted another student. I then left school. DO NOT GO HERE the people are recast the staff will ignore you when you need them.

The only thing this campus has going for it is it's looks, when you arrive you'll be impressed by the looks and the staff will tell you how great the campus is. When you join you find out that none of the promises are true and reality is very different. For example the brag about how safe there school is I was beat up three times by students and when my dorm room was broken into the police took two weeks to get back to me and let me file a report and then they told me that "trail was cold and I should have come in earlier". The staff was worse the RA "confiscated" things that he wanted like my movie collection, and he charged me fees for his services and when I told the housing office I was told "that?s life". The classes were easy not at all challenging. When I transferred out of psc I found out that most of my credits didn?t transfer. Don?t go to Potomac state goes to some other school.

In the two years i spent at this school I had a very bad time. The staff are willing to tell anything to make you stay and never follow through on there promases. The universty police as well harresed me for no reason for example I was given a $500 parking ticket for parking over the line when infact I had no car.
