Full disclosure: I am the parent of a newly-admitted DC Freshman. I also was accepted years ago at…read morethe Dickinson School of Law, which is un-related to DC but sits at the edge of its campus. As such, I've been to Carlisle a number of times over the past 30 years, both as a prospective law student and as the parent of a DC student. Here's my "review" of Dickinson College and the surrounding town/area... Beautiful campus, strong alumni network, including extremely successful alums like the CEO/President of LL Bean. Numerous awards for being a top-rated college as to sustainability. Responsive staff. Small student to teacher ratio. Encourages students to find their passion, so interesting combinations of double majors and majors/minor abound, and students don't declare their major until Jr year, I believe. Encourages study abroad and for a somewhat unique statistic I think, Dickinson states that 60% of its student athletes do so, with the coaches' encouragement! Dickinson is what it appears to be, "family" to its alumns and students. Extremely supportive all-around. Location is close to Harrisburg, the Commonwealth's capital, as well as an easy 1.75 hour ride to Phila area (85 miles in my case!) as a straight shot down the PA Turnpike! One comment stated this is a boring school with nothing to do. That's ridiculous. There are attractions within an easy drive, _lots_of activities on campus, and a growing diversity of students. And, to callously call the surrounding area as being full of "red-necks" is nonsense. As a former diversity trainer with a major Fortune50 company and within the USCG Aux, that statement really jolted me. The folks in Carlisle may be more rural in background than say someone from a city or a suburb near a city, but they are welcoming and friendly. Judging an entire community based on some interaction had with one or two (perhaps) is simply unfair to the community as a whole). Go Red Devils! PS To YELP: Why the heck would you NOT recommend the 3 "Not Recommended" 5-star reviews that were well-written, thoughtful and gave details upon which the reviews were based? And, from both students and parents! I don't get it! If they were included, DC would have a near 5-Star rating which is more in-line with what I've experienced via the many alumns I've met, both at DC functions AND by pure chance in the "big outside world" where they had no reason to be biased in their view...i.e. I met them via normal, everyday encounters via my job, etc!

Penn State Harrisburg is an incredible place to study, especially for Computer Science. It's the…read morelargest branch campus in the Penn State system, which actually makes it bigger than many standalone universities across Pennsylvania. That size brings the best of both worlds: the prestige and resources of a major research institution, combined with a close-knit campus community. The Computer Science program is particularly strong, with professors who genuinely care about student success and coursework that builds real-world technical skills. There are also plenty of opportunities for research, internships, and networking with employers. Campus life keeps growing each year, new buildings, more student organizations, and tons of events that make it easy to get involved. You can tell the school is investing heavily in its future, and the student population keeps increasing because of it. Overall, Penn State Harrisburg delivers an outstanding experience, academically, professionally, and socially. I couldn't recommend it more highly, especially for anyone pursuing Computer Science or Engineering.

This is the worst university I have ever graduated from. I have attended and graduated from three…read moredifferent universities. Penn State Harrisburg is outrageously expensive and the quality of education is not near worth what they charge. They don't treat students very well and I could give many examples of that. I had one professor who was given three classes to teach for what she had. Absolutely no qualifications to teach. In one class she relied on the students in the class to help her teach the class and would rely on calling her son during class. At one point I got an email from registrar threatening to cancel my classes because they said I wasn't attending classes. I called the director of registrar and told him not only have I not missed a class. I had never even been late for a class. I completely chewed him out. Most of the class content of the classes had nothing to do with the major and the field that I was pursuing yet they charge top dollar for it and once they got my money they couldn't have cared less. I moved across the country and was hoping to get a graduate assistantship which pays my tuition. They didn't even tell me until I got here from California that I had to take the GRE to even be considered. So I took the GRE and never got the graduate assistantship and they wouldn't even inform me and let me know. In my opinion and my experience, Penn State Harrisburg is a completely unprofessional discombobulated poor quality shabby institution that charges probably 10 times what they should charge for the quality of experience in education they provide. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO ATTEND PENN STATE.

I attended Milton Hershey School from 1997 until 2010. I was five when I first arrived at the…read moreschool and eighteen when I left. It's far too complicated to thoroughly review the school, as I feel that it would require a more nuanced approach to truly summarize my experience. I will try my best to provide a high-level overview of the school, while maintaining some level of brevity. The school has undergone many changes since its inception, but there are some consistent elements that warrant being highlighted. The school has always covered the complete cost of food, clothing, housing, schooling, medical, and dental needs for every single child who is admitted. The campus is very large and well maintained. There are three schools on campus; elementary, middle, and high school. There are also health centers, environmental centers, clothing/facility centers, horticulture centers, learning resource centers, medical clinics, dental clinics, and fitness facilities, also all located on the campus. The students at the school reside in student homes that are overseen by houseparents. When I was at the school, there were about twelve students in each home. Each house is provided transportation in the form of a large van suitable for transporting every member of the household. Each home has a kitchen, dining room, recreational room, office, living room, computer room, houseparent apartment, bathrooms, mud room, basketball court, and parking garage. Students in their final year at the school participate in a program called Transitional Living. The objective of this program is to provide some exposure to a college-style version of living. Another intention of the program is to instill some independent living skills in the students and hopefully increase the likelihood of success post graduation. There are various career pathways that high school students can participate in, some of which include, automotive, health occupation, human services, information technology, carpentry, graphic design and business marketing. The career pathways are intended to provide occupational experience prior to college/tech school, which is also paid for by the school. The school changed my life in many ways, for better and worse. I like to weigh out this particular experience with heconsideration to the various opportunities that I was given while attending the school, and from that perspective, I can say that the experience was generally a positive one and likely did more good than harm.
