Juniata College

Incredibly Helpful

Juniata is really committed to helping its students stay if at all possible. Most students who are doing well and committed get some kind of financial aid. It won't absolve you of debt, but the financial aid office will push you in the right direction for scholarships if you take the time to meet them. They have a long conversation with everyone there, and they're really patient (even if you're not feeling so much the same).

Small-Town but State College

Juniata's pretty mellow, although East can get kinda raucous. Most people who really want to party head over to State College on the weekend using the college provided shuttle. It's nice because you don't have to deal with drunks if you want to study, but it's there if you feel like a trip.

Excellent Resources and Transit

Our campus is amazingly well equipped for it's size. We have a very well maintained and large gym with many open rooms for student use. Our library communicates very readily with Penn State and other larger institutions to get students what they need. They also have very up to date labs, and food available at most times of day and night. There are lounges and space to think everywhere, and dorm accommodations are quite nice. The only thing I could change would be to give our museum and our tech resources more funding. But that will come with time and good press!
