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.
