Student Author OverviewWhat'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.

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!

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
