Before
Drew I attended the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. When
I arrived at Drew I had a very positive outlook
about everything. The campus was gorgeous, they seemed to have
their act together, etc. I figured as well that their
academics were at high standards as well. As a transferring
sophomore, I was placed in all of the new trial
things for the freshman. A “Common Hour” which was a
complete waste of time, as well as a College Writing
course, dictated by the entire University. Well, these things were
not well-thought out at all. They had good intentions, but
it just came off negative. The administration is a pain
to deal with, at the end of the semester I
ordered official transcripts... they sent to the school without the
courses I was taking, no less my grades. What the
heck? The community here is very disjointed as well. A
huge separation between poor and rich. This is completely not
what I was expecting. I am very down to earth
and thought it was really immature. In the past semester,
there had been a great deal of vandalism, and the
attitude of the students was very negative. The faculty actually
seems to love what they do—at least the professors I
encountered. They want to keep the campus safe and of
higher standards. The new dean is trying to expand the
university, and took SATS out of the admissions policy. BAD
idea. How is a graded essay a proper measure of
academic achievement? Not enough of one, if you ask me.
There were more negative experiences I had on this campus
with students than positive ones. They can either be really
snotty and take no accountability for anything, or be really
sweet and caring. It just depends. The drinking on this
campus was pretty out of control. Kids were transported all
the time, it was a regularity. (Though the funny thing
is, alcohol related problems were DOWN this year.) The academics
seemed great to me, they just need to straighten out
come of the freshman curricula. Due to the campus life,
I'm not sure I'd recommend this school. However, Drew always
had a great deal of events and things to do,
which made it nice. I didn't feel that I could
be very outgoing here, that others were always judging. Something
I never experienced before. This school is very big on
study abroad and learning about other cultures, but in and
of itself, is not very tolerant. As I said, there
is a huge divide in the student body. I felt
that many of the kids from certain groups were isolated
to stay in that click. That's not at all what
I want in a college. To me, it puts a
cloud on learning and experience. The choice is yours.
