Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Too good to be true? Possibly, but overall, most Juniata students really do love Juniata. They don’t always like it, but most of the time they do. Why do they love it, and why do they not? Because Juniata is a small college in a small town. Yes, it has its advantages, and it has its drawbacks. If something’s going to kill your experience, it’s bound to be its smallness. But overall and overwhelmingly? Well, you’ve just read it. Students and professors are warm, welcoming, and largely open-minded. Opportunities on campus and around the world are literally endless and growing.

The College is not perfect, but if something’s wrong or broken, the administration does its best to fix it. Students appreciate that. As with anything you love, it’s true that sometimes you just don’t like whatever it is you say you adore, but that doesn’t change your feelings in the end. That pretty much sums up the Juniata experience. Students work hard, have fun, find their passions, and prepare for the world and the future. They also occasionally pull their hair out from claustrophobia. But in the end, they do appreciate Juniata, both while they’re there and after they graduate. And in the end, their overall experiences are precisely why they recommend Juniata so strongly and so happily.

Campus Dining at Juniata College

I Don't Know If I Want to Eat That?

A lot of the food tastes good but is very bad for you. Many times the quality is very low (tasty, but unhealthy). They have either a grab and go type of food located above the main cafeteria or the main cafeteria which is much like a buffet. There is a great salad bar and the cafeteria also provides you with many different types of meals, but they always have pizza and this gets repetitive. Many people dislike the cafeteria's food but eat it anyway because it's a place to see many friends and be social.

Language in Motion

My school's language department has a program called, "Language in Motion." It serves as a way for language majors and returning students from studying abroad to present experiences, difficulties, cultural differences to students at high schools around the area. It is important because it gives others an idea that certain countries are not always the way we generally view it. It also promotes awareness on the importance of studying abroad in general and how it can build you as a person! I plan on joining this program after my study abroad experience next school year!

Not Just About the Appearance, but More About What's Inside.

Not only are the people at this college classy in style, they have a lot to offer with their personality. Not only are the people good looking but they have a lot of confidence, and that helps to make their appearance much more attractive than many girls/guys from other schools.
