So I asked parents that were tossing things like fans and other things of use if I could have them. They were kind and let me take a few things before security came in, and made me leave. I have never been in trouble my entire life, and I was afraid they were going to press chargers, for as I was leaving a cop was coming into the school. I was not making any messes, I actually cleaned up a mess that had been made by students/family. Why won't you let people get things that can be used instead of it sitting in a dumpster. I didn't pull anything out of the dumpster, it was sat to were I could grab it if I wanted it.

Not only were they openly disrespectful and racist, but the referee was also highly biased and unfair, failing to address the inappropriate actions on the court. This created an uncomfortable and hostile environment for my daughter and her teammates, who were just trying to play the game. It was disheartening to see such poor sportsmanship and a lack of accountability from both the opposing team and the referee. This experience has left a bad taste, and I hope future games promote fairness, respect, and true sportsmanship.

My daughter and I both graduated from here in May 2016. I had an excellent experience as an…read moreAccounting major. They offer online classes, in person classes and hybrid classes which combine online and in person. This is a small campus with approximately 1000 students. You really get to know your classmates. Being old enough to be my classmates' mothers, I was a bit nervous at how I would fit in for group projects, etc. It was needless worry-I was made to feel like I was no different. Great, kind students that I stay in touch with! I attended college full time, mostly at night, while working full time. Sometimes I could not take a required course due to the time it was offered. Hilbert worked with me and my schedule to ensure I graduated on time. I can't say enough about the accounting department professors. There were some bumps in the road, like online professors using lectures they recorded 5-10 years prior. This happened with several professors, so they did not discuss current events, but referenced things that happened when most of the students were ages 10-12. The same online professors also did not update the links they provided in their PowerPoint presentations causing me much frustration. I expect more for the money I was paying to take each class. This is the main reason for not granting the fifth star. All in all, Hilbert provided me and my daughter with an excellent education and I highly recommend it.

Admissions is VERY unprofessional and totally unacceptable! After spending so much time applying,…read moreMy OFFICIAL documents from parchment and my high school transcript directly from Lake Shore were not "official" enough for the college and they wanted me to pay ANOTHER $30 out of my pocket for pieces of paper I already had in my possession, so I withdrew my application for enrollment and demanded a refund of my $50 application fee, which they refuse to refund. I'm out $50 because their application process is totally ridiculous and financially unprofessional. It's probably a blessing in disguise because I can only imagine what education looks like at the college if the admission process is this disgusting.

I am a former student who had spent many years in their " lpn program ". I will say, the lpn…read moreprogram director and most of the lpn instructors are the most nasty, biased people that i have ever come across at a college or university. If they don't like even 1 thing about you, they will make it their absolute goal to kick you out of the program, regardless of your grades. You have to be a " teachers pet " in order to be in good graces and graduate with the hateful professors. And good luck if you have a different stance or political opinion other than theirs. They will not like you even for that. They like to make " excuses " as to why you get kicked out of the program. All in all, AVOID the LPN Nursing program here at ALL COSTS! I'd definitely go elsewhere like Pennwest or Gannon University if you don't want to waste years of your life going here for nothing to show all because they didn't like you from the beginning...

UPB is a branch campus of the University of Pittsburgh. It is a small but mighty campus that is…read moregorgeous in the fall. The student population is diverse for the area. The university offers many different programs. Students can choose a variety of two and 4 year programs ranging from nursing, hospitality management, psychology, criminology (cool crime house as a "lab"), information science, chemistry, biology, 2 year engineering (there is a proposal for a 4 year program), environmental science and a two year petroleum technology program. The dorms are nice. Freshman have a new building and there are townhomes, and apartment style housing. Student housing comes with small fridges and microwaves. There are limits on cookware such as electric plates and grills. The food in student cafeteria could use some love though. The cafeteria facility is nice but the food is not consistently good. It is not horrible but it could be better. The library is nice as is the gym. It would be good though if they had some extended hours over the weekend. The town is small but there is a movie theater. Student id allows students to use local public transportation without cost. The bus is not bad but I wish hours were later on weekends. Class sizes are small which is good because you get to know your professors and they are generally pretty helpful. It would be nice if all professors would use course management software. Some do and some don't. Another nice things about this campus is that professors seem to try to keep textbook costs down by enabling students to use older editions of books (not ancient - just one or two editions older). I have been able to save a ton of money because of this. The technology on campus is not too bad but I think that the campus wifi could be improved but it is much better now than it was two years ago. The campus recognizes that it needs to update labs and it will be building a science building in the near future that will house new labs. In general, if UPB puts the money into the new science building, Penn State Behrend will get a run for its money. Also, don't be put off by sites that lists GPA's/SATs of accepted students. UPB has a lot of students who may be considered non-traditional and they also have associate degree students. UPB is not a data snob and it gives students a chance to prove themselves. In addition, UPB offers Pell Grant Matching and Panther Scholarships. Panther scholarships are either $5500 or $7500 based on GPA/SAT scores. Pretty much everyone gets at least $5500. The scholarship is $5500 (high school gpa 2.5 19) ACT/$7500 (high school gpa 2.5 act 25) every year for 4 years as long as you maintain a 2.25 gpa. That is better than most merit scholarships from other colleges which put really high gpa requirements for continuation of the scholarship. An economically challenged student could pretty much get through this school with minimal loans. Staff at in the financial aid office will also scour for scholarships for students with financial need. Students who have learning disabilities have an awesome resource center that provides study skill sessions along with tutoring. UPB is a perfect small school for a student who is academically focused. There may be a curve for a student from an urban area but if they are concerned about their academics, it shouldn't be an issue after some time. Bring your snow boots and warm coats for the winter but enjoy the view.

Spectator view is somewhat limited for events on the far side of the building, but their is plenty of open space for watching everything else. There is a small kitchen that offers a typical menu for sporting events - hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, soda, fruit, etc. The campus itself is a sight as well, with different complexes built on the hillside. The grounds are clean and well-kept. It is off the beaten-path, so to speak. Expect the drive there and back to be an adventure.

We trusted Gannon with educating our daughter and have come to find out they really don't care…read moreabout their students. 1. The engineering dept only offers courses either in the fall or spring, twice now she has had 2 required courses scheduled at the same time, Gannon was completely unwilling to work with her and told her she would have to move one off till the next year, which means she can't take any courses that have this course as a prerequisite. This also means adding a 5th year or beyond because they are not offering courses enough and my daughter needing to take unnecessary classes to stay full time because she can't get the ones she needs. They also won't approve summer courses at other schools. 2. The Athletic dept administration is horrible! They drive out good coaches and keep ones that are a mess. They support hazing and bullying and if a student says they are going to report it they are kicked off the team.
