I transferred to Messiah from a large state school because I wanted something smaller and friendlier - one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

While many of the students are nice, a good portion of them are arrogant and self-entitled, but that is avoidable.

Other than one Philosophy professor, the rest of the faculty was a joke. The curriculum was extremely easy (Biology) compared to other schools, and did not provide adequate research and laboratory experience. I couldn't imagine trying to get a job with a degree from this university; I talked to several recruiters and I decided to transfer back to my large state university after only a semester at Messiah.

I had a wonderful time at the large school. People there were much more friendlier and down-to-earth. I ended up succeeding there and having a great time. My only regret was not sticking it out.

Don't go to Messiah… it offers nothing that other schools don't, and lacks the facilities and opportunities of other schools.
