I went/am attendig Central Penn becaue I was excited to learn about how the business world works. I thought the faculty and staff would have a very business-like attitude and I could learn from experiences with them. That is not the case. The housing is dirty. When you come in for your admissions meeting/interview they will tell you that in between each term they have a cleaning crew come and clean the rooms. That is not the case. I have moved into an apartment and 2 different townhouses in the one year and both were filthy! There was hair in the corners, the bathroom was gross, a towel rack was broken and the toilet was broken before I had even moved in. I tried talking to the Housing Director about it and had my phone calls and emails ignored. When I sent a letter to the Senior Leaders asking to be released from my lease without paying the penalty I had to call them in order to find out the verdict. I left a message and received no phone call back but received an email simply stating that my appeal had been denied with no explanation as to why. There have been many cases where I am not followed up with and I feel as though I have had to "chase" down people to get an answer or explanation. Although I would say my experience with Central Penn has been 75% negative, I have made good relationships with some of the faculty and staff. They have been able to guide me as to how to handle some of the problems I've had.
