I'm definitely confused by these other reviews. I'm reviewing on behalf of myself and two other alumni. Class of 2010 (bachelors) Class of 2013 (doctorate) Class of 2016 (masters) My husband did his bachelors in 2010 and his doctorate in 2013. He had a great experience and was involved in many intramurals. He had a very nice apartment on campus then lived on campus at the Ivy which is close and also updated. I'm class of 2013 and I had a fantastic graduate school experience! The campus is clean and very beautiful! It's a perfect size and you can walk everywhere. We always felt safe and campus police were easily accessible! My sister is class of 2016 and she also had a good grad school experience. Notes that the classrooms were nice and professors were knowledgeable. Her on campus apartment was nice and very up to date. We all had great experiences and would go there again! read more

Nestled in the rural area of Slippery Rock stands one of the 14 State colleges of PA. It is a small university with a variety of majors to choose from. I would guess the total enrollment is about 5000-6000 students. The university recently upgraded their student center and bookstore with state of the art equipment and activity rooms. Student parking is by permit and costs $25.00 per school year. The "Happy" bus as they call it transports students around campus and to various areas in the town to shop or to some outside campus housing. The grounds are well maintained and some of the buildings are old. The university features both traditional and modern style dormitories. All freshman are required to live in the dorms during their first year. After that they can live where they choose. The university is located about a 15 minute drive to Grove city outlets. One of the major drawbacks is that if you wish to attend this University having a car is a must. There is no major busline that will take you to Pittsburgh or any other town. The Happy bus runs only certain hours during the day and weekend hours are limited. If you have later classes they may end after the bus completes its daily schedule and you may need to walk or hitch a ride with a friend. Parking can be stressful during the school day since the lots fill quickly. It is also hard to get off campus during peak periods and the town has only a few major traffic lights and you end up in long lines waiting to leave. Nevertheless, the school offers a quality education and is worth looking in to. read more
