As an alumnus, I highly recommend parents do not send their children to this university. While Clarion community is great and the university has some stellar faculty, the institution is, overall, of very poor quality. The administration is more focused on a "fun college experience" than academic standards. A high percentage of students do not graduate and, if they do, cannot find a job with their near-useless degrees.

My recommendations: 1) invest in a better institution with rigorous academics, or 2) save the money and enter the workforce. Clarion University is good for a few fun college years, but it's not good for your future.
