Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Picking a college is a tough decision and nobody expects you to have your whole life charted out upon high school graduation. Fortunately, Slippery Rock can help you find yourself by exposing you to a laundry list of opportunities and organizations. Sure, students gripe about Weisenfluh food, the miserable weather, and the Ticket Nazi, but SRU students are in it together. Here, you are not treated as a number, but, in many cases, as a family member. Most students agree that the people are what make this place. You will not only make lifelong friendships and connections with fellow students but with professors and local townspeople, as well. It is highly difficult to find a school where professors sincerely care about you, and not just about their research and side projects.

In recent years, Slippery Rock has been trying to overcome the party school stigma that has overshadowed its sophisticated academic programs. Known for many programs, including education, physical therapy, and parks and recreational management, Slippery Rock offers high quality at a low price. Remember that a well-rounded education does not have to translate into millions of dollars in student debt. It is highly recommended that before you commit yourself to any school, visit the campus and see if it feels right. Though some schools look terrific on paper, you may be disappointed upon arrival. Slippery Rock offers something for everyone, and it’s highly recommended that you get involved and make the most of your time here. At Slippery Rock, we play hard, we work hard, and most agree that they would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Go Rock!

Slippery Rock Is Not a Huge Town

Slippery Rock is really not a huge town because the college makes the town. There is a bus that runs on campus on a schedule and there is one on campus and off campus. The on campus one runs about every 20 minutes and is absolutely free, and so is the off campus one. It is an inconvenience on the weekends because the bus comes every 45 minutes because there is on two of them and there are about 7 stops.

Alcohol and Drugs

When people are intoxicated sometimes they like to cause a scene and therefore the police show up. SRU has a no tolerance policy when it comes to alcohol and drugs but if were do drink or do drugs if you do them in normal fashion, don't make a huge scene, odds are that you will be fine and not get in trouble. However, if you are throwing yourself out there and not being able to swipe your card to get into the dorms, or are slurring your words, your probably going to get in trouble because you are making a scene.
