Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Susquehanna academics are challenging and not to be taken lightly. That said, the classes are not so hard that nobody stands a chance of succeeding. In any course encountered, the amount of effort that a student puts into a course is the biggest determinant of how well he or she will do. Professors are very friendly and do all that they can to aid their students. All classes are taught by professors; teachers’ assistants are there to aid professors, not teach for them. The largest classes at Susquehanna usually have fewer than 35 students. The relationship between students and teachers is very open; it is not uncommon for professors to give out their home phone number along with their office hours and other contact information. Due to small class sizes and personal interactions between students and professors, it becomes much harder for students to slack off without being questioned by professors.

Professors dispense grades based on more than just essays and test results; class participation and a student’s enthusiasm toward the subject are also factors. A student who is not a good test-taker but is always at class and participates has an equal chance at receiving a good grade than a student with all As on assignments. The academic programs at SU are undoubtedly one of the strongest areas that the school has to offer.

Accomplished Program

The Creative Writing program at SU is really exceptional. The faculty has published a great number of books and they are all a part of that minuscule population of teachers who can relay their experiences and wisdom to their classes, not just bask in the sunlight of success. I moved out to the East Coast for this program and I haven't been disappointed in the slightest.

SU Can Lead to a Bright Future

Susquehanna is the type of school where you are able to find your niche and the professors and other students help foster you as you grow. I thoroughly enjoy my academic department and enjoy all of the organizations that I take part in. This campus can mold you into an excellent person with the skills it takes to make it into the real world if you care enough to let it do so. If you're a negative ridiculous person I don't recommend coming here, as you need to try on this campus to be successful. The university is dedicated to its students and their well being. I recommend this school to everyone I meet and am very proud to be a student here.
