Graduated from Plymouth State. My experience at Plymouth State was wonderful. Excellent education with caring professors. Dorms were always maintained. Excellent Business, Education and Meteorology departments. Great friendly student body with a lot of outdoor activities. Excellent choice for college if you do not want a large sprawling overcrowded campus.
A phenomenal experience. I really feel that I grew as a person here. Granted, I was here for seven years; you'd pretty much have to be comatose to not grow in some fashion after seven years of college. No, I'm not a Doctor. Yes, I graduated. I now have a grown up job that I don't really like, but it helps me support a wife and son that I do. She went to Plymouth State as well, although we met after that. Which is good- did I mention I was in college for seven years? I was not, shall we say, on my best behavior around then.
Anyhoo, PSU prepared me about as well as any institute of higher learning could, excepting for maybe prison. I'm guessing there's more 'street smarts' to be learned inside, whereas college really emphasizes more theoretical learning- academic if you will. Which I guess makes sense, especially when you consider the definition of academic. But I digress, I wouldn't think most parents who are considering college for their children would offer prison as an alternative. And vice versa I'm sure.
So long story slightly shorter, my parents aren't felons and I went to Plymouth State and it was a more than adequate stepping stone to middle class adulthood. Probably not the most glowing recommendation, but let's be honest- if you're choosing a college based on Google reviews, you're not destined for Harvard.
Went for a semester before I transferred . Financial Aid teams terrible, teachers as well, the food turns your stomach, and dorms suck. Wasn't worth anytime.
It seems like a really nice place clean and all that
I approve of the school overall the price is hard to beat. Overall the teachers are good. The staff is very student minded at least that is what I can say. The people is what makes anything and from my time there they seem to have students in mind. They are human and I did much less then ideal in one of my classes which is mostly my fault for lack of getting a better idea of what was needed and looked for and how to complete it. That is life and sometimes a wake up call can be more a benifit then not.
Give it a look it cannot hurt but can benefit more then thought. If considering ask a lot of questions. It can only aid your choice in finding the right fix. Hope to see you around well I am still there.
I feel like I have been ripped off by PSU. Professors frequently don't show up to class, many do not know what they are talking about or can't communicate with a human being. They give out lots of busy work, with little real educational value. Content is old and out of date. The price is one of the highest in the country. Class schedules seem to be designed to make it difficult to graduate in four years. The police here will pull over any vehicle that looks like it is owned by a student. The average student with a car will get at least $300 in parking tickets, since there is NO parking on campus. Please don't get ripped off by PSU. Oh and this is coming from a student with a decent GPA and good job opportunity, unlike the vast majority of the school. I can't imagine they like PSU any more than I do.
My school. I have many fond memories and many more great friends. If you are thinking about going here, then do! It's small, friendly, and a great place to learn. Winters can be ruthless though...
You get out what you put in.
There are some fantastic teachers and professionals at this school. Unfortunately, many students did not seem to have the drive it took to make themselves better.
College/university, in general, is not high school - students have the freedom to forge their own path and, without the same appropriated guidance of high school, veer off into the more social elements that Plymouth provides, for better or worse. I had teachers who were not the best at communicating, but I rarely had a educational experience where I thought that the teacher did not care about the teaching or the students. In the end, it's the teacher's responsibility to teach, but the student's responsibility to learn. I had good teachers.
So, if you're ready to allow yourself to be educated and are able to make it an active routine, Plymouth is a good school. If you're here because this is a default school, a party school, or an extension of high school, you may end up wasting your money.
Love the campus my brother goes their and the Psu cross country team is good and the Psu indoor track team is the best and the ficility is always clean and that why I picked Psu
I've gone here for almost a year now and I love it. I do not like to party. I know it's known as a big party college but it's nothing you can't easily avoid and there are plenty of people who do not like to party as well. Beautiful campus with a great view. "cheap" compared to other places and has a great Computer Science department
Great response from them. Going there soon!! Hope I'll love it.
I couldn't believe the amount of students that actually wore their mask . Good on them I'm glad They are doing it right
Beautiful, well-maintained campus. Professors really care about student success. Administration is streamlined and surprisingly non-bureaucratic. Highly recommended for just a class or two or for a whole degree.
I love being a Panther. Truly an incredible place filled with incredible people. So many memories here already!
