If you are going to major in Computer Science or Geography or something along the lines of Science and KU is all you can afford financially, then that should be the only reason to come to KU. Any other major, you will not be academically challenge. If you want to go to school for the majors listed above, and KU is not your only choice of school, consider the other options you have because you can do better than Kutztown.

I transferred out of KU because I did not have enough financial aid to get me through the year and also because I could do way better than Kutztown so I now go to my local community college and will be going to West Chester.

Kutztown was known for having alot of students go there, but less and less people are coming here. Go to Millersville, Bloomsburg, West Chester or Temple. Hell throw in Shippensburg into the possibilities even though the Computer Engineering program over there isn't accredited yet.

Yes it is true college is what you make of it. I gave this crap school a chance and I was disappointed although some of this school are actually not bad. I will start with the good.

Good -

The Five Year BS/MS Computer Science Program - sounds very appealing and I do know someone who did this and graduated 2 years ago. Even if you don't understand computer science you can go to a grad assistant/student to help you or a friend that is experienced in CS can help you too. It is not that the CS program is incompetent, but the BS/MS CSC program is not BS, it is far from it. The only thing is that you have to take the gen eds with your classes relating to your major and most of those gen ed classes are not challenging.

Marching Band - The marching band is very fun. They even marched in the Philly Thanksgiving Parade two months ago. (KUMU is also part of what made me want to give KU a chance). KUMU is the only thing I miss about KU.

Sports Teams - they are not that bad. The football team has gotten slightly better through the years. They used to be very terrible. The Rugby team is unstoppable too the last time I was on campus. I believe there was one game that they scored 200-0.

Campus Aesthetics - very beautiful campus but when its hot outside prepared to be attacked by bees especially if you are waiting for the shuttle bus to get to class. And campus looks very bad after events like Homecoming and St. Patty's Day because people get trashed.

Clubs - Clubs are okay. If you want to do community service, I recommend KuBok. It's a neighborhood watch program for KU students and they go patrol the streets of the city of Kutztown.

Neutral -

Students - the student body could go either way. Most of the other students were very nice, chill, respectful, and helpful but the other students are party animals, preppy, racist, or anti-intellectual. I would love to actually have an intellectual conversation and all that but most of the students don't care and they only come to school to please their parents.

Now for the Bad.

Food - unhealthy and greasy. One night at South Side Cafe, they serve a steak and the meat was so raw that it was still moving. The AF was the only good on-campus food site on campus but it is only open on school days and they close at 4:30. They added a new Cub Cafe but I haven't been on campus in a year so I don't know.

Residence Halls - if you are a freshman, the freshmen halls are terrible and if you are lucky enough that all of the dorms in the freshmen halls are full, they will put you in Dixon but you have to pay more. University Place's exterior looks like a jail and ironically enough, the person that designed UP has actually designed a jail too.

Academics - excluding the classes I took for my major, the gen ed classes were incompetent and some of the professors were no help. For a science, I recommend taking Dr. Davis for Geography, and Dr. Goh for Music. They were awesome.

Financial Aid Office/KU Administration - disorganized and very cruel. That's all I'm gonna say.

Public Safety - they are supposed to make us feel safe and the only things they have done that have made us feel safe was alert us when a sexual assault or crime occurred on-campus or off-campus. Even if you don't party or drink, they will bust you for anything and everything. Parking violations (even if you have a valid parking permit), ANYTHING. It's ridiculous. My roommate got fined because his mom had dropped off his PRESCRIBED medication for his illness and supposedly his mom was not allowed to park on Main Street. Because of that they fined him. His mom only parked on Main St for 30 seconds. That's messed up.

Overall, I had a very bad experience and I am glad I am not returning. This school did not completely satisfy my needs academically and professionally. The school I plan on going to after I finish community college is another state school and is way more respectable than KU.

So I advise you if you are a high school senior or getting ready to transfer out of community college or another school, ask your self this.

Is your education worth it?

Do you want to open yourself up to endless opportunities?

Do you want a career right after you get your degree?

Do you want to be academically challenged?

If you answered yes to all these questions, then Kutztown is not for you because you will barely get ahead anywhere unless you are majoring in CS or Education or any Science related major. The Business program at KU is accredited but the people I know in the program said it was absolutely horrible. Consider another school.
