Accepted at West Chester and St Joseph's for business major. Paying Out of State price for West Chester and received $31,000 merit from St Josephs so costs are somewhat comparable. Anybody have some pros and cons for each?

WCU’s art department?

I'm currently an HS senior and am considering West Chester University as an option. As someone who's going to be majoring in art, does anyone have any experience with WCU's art department? Or just other general things to note about the school?

Financial Aid Office

The people that work at the financial aid office are extremely unhelpful. I understand being frustrated from being asked the same questions but maybe release statements and updates on what’s going on, especially with this whole PA State Grant thing being delayed. Everytime I call they sound miserable and are mumbling into the phone, and make it as though it’s an inconvenience I’m calling them asking about financial aid.

Concern about Housing

Hello, I will be a college freshman next year and am strongly considering WCU. However, I've heard housing right now is super competitive. The person I will be rooming with will be a transfer student sophomore next year. We need someplace with a private/semi-private bathroom (either shared between us or shared between us and 1 other unit) and obviously it has to house freshmen and sophomores, but those are the only requirements. What's the likelihood of being able to get this?

Question about mid-year transfer

Here is the situation. Student is a freshman and somewhat unhappy at his present university in the midwest. He applies to West Chester University as a transfer for upcoming spring semester (hoping to be happy closer to home). As part of the West Chester transfer application, student sent High School Transcript (which has great grades) and current college transcript, which had no grades yet. Student receives an acceptance letter for spring semester, which says that he has been accepted but it also says that acceptance is "contingent upon" his successful completion of his current coursework. One of the current classes that student is in danger of failing is similar to WCU's FYE and, if student does fail, he is not given an F he is simply given an "NC" (no credit). Student is in danger of getting a NC (failing). Student is also in danger of failing his sociology class. His other two classes are at an A and he will probably not fail (and will probably get an A ) those. If student fails a class and gets a "No Credit" in the other, will West Chester revoke his acceptance? Or, will they simply not accept those credits (obviously) and still let him attend? Any one know?

My son is considering WCUPA. Need advice.

My son is a HS senior, all AP and honors classes, and top 10 class rank. He’s thinking of majoring in economics or business. Will be living on campus and applied to the honors program. Been doing some research but there’s only so much you can glean from those sources. Anyone willing to share some insight? Need to know the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What’s the school’s overall reputation?

How are the professors and advisors for someone majoring in business or economics?

How’s living in the dorms?

How are the dining options? Food any good?

How’s the honors program?

Does the school help students find internships during college and full-time employment after graduation? Is the school any good at it?

What’s one thing you love and one thing you hate (or needs improvement) about WCU?

Is there anything you wish you knew about WCU before you (or your child) attended?

Philosophy 101

Hi so I have sort of a strange request. I took philosophy 101 awhile back and I need a syllabus for my current college to review it for transfer but I can’t seem to find one anywhere online. If anyone has an intro to Phil syllabus from west Chester I would really appreciate it if you could share it.

Experience with graduate programs on the Philadelphia campus?

Hi all! I’m applying this year to WCU’s Masters of Social Work program and was wondering if anyone has any experience or commentary on the Philadelphia campus? I can’t find much online of people’s testimonies. Mainly I want to know about the community on campus — I’m moving back to PA from Canada and am hoping to make some friends and be connected to the other people in my program! Thank you!

Financial aid refunds

Hi! New graduate student here. When should I expect to see the financial aid refund hit my direct deposit? I saw on the financial aid / bursar office website that they begin processing everything this week, but I wasn't sure if any students here could share when they've received their $$ through direct deposit.

is this school good to go to if you are an undecided major?

also another question, people on reddit only had positive things to say about this school and I didn't see any negative things, does anyone have any cons to say? I heard about the housing but anything else?
Thank you

also for context, I'm OOS so I prob won't have a car unless needed
