Juniata College - Overall Experience

College Prowler Take

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.

I fell in love with Juniata the... I fell in love with Juniata the first time I visited, and I’ve been there three years and I’m still in love. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better college experience than the one I’m having. I bet nine out of ten JC alums would agree that it’s the best time of your life, not just because it’s college, but because it’s college at Juniata. 12345 Overall Experience Report

I’d never go somewhere else. I had... I’d never go somewhere else. I had my doubts at times, but I know I’d never learn as much somewhere else as I did here. I had the best professors who really cared and the most amazing advisors. The variety of classes you can choose from and the flexibility in requirements is wonderful. I’ve met most of the best friends I’ve ever had at Juniata. I had so many opportunities to get involved and do what I wanted to relax from work. The worst thing? Being an out-of-state student who didn’t want to go home surrounded by people who ran home at least one weekend a month. But I got over it. 12345 Overall Experience Report

I love Juniata. I hated, hated,... I love Juniata. I hated, hated, hated it at first because I wasn’t used to the rural atmosphere; now I can’t imagine being anywhere else, and I’d love to come back as a prof. 12345 Overall Experience Report

I’m sure there were times when I... I’m sure there were times when I was very frustrated with Juniata and wished I was at another school. But you’d get that anywhere, and for the most part, I enjoyed my time at Juniata and would recommend it to anyone. 12345 Overall Experience Report
