Kutztown University

I’m going for my second year on campus, I’ve noticed some ups and downs. For one, people smoke everywhere you can’t really fix that. They blow it away but still appears to fly and smack you on your face while walking. Another is that you WILL find the people that are bad and some that smuggle pot on campus. But that’s rare in action but common on college campuses. The campus police are very strict and I feel very safe. The upside is that the newly built music building is just amazing! It was completed in September 2013. Really nice and clean building for music students and it’s music rooms are also greatly done with some Steinway and Sons upright pianos (those are expensive). Even though it’s a «small» campus; it seems really huge! The science, and art buildings are also clean and the professors want to help you. But you may have to check «rate my professor» online because I’ve had one of the bad ones that completely go off topic. The ku staff is very nice to you when you ask questions. They love questions, they helped me out with my housing situation where my roommate was a smoker and he did not click smoker on his student profile online, as I am asthmatic. With all ready for you at ku, you have many things to choose from! And instate tuition is approximately $ 8k a year. Good luck future students!

I have a love-​hate relationship with Kutztown. I only attended here as an English major for one year. Here is what I’ve experienced:
CAMPUS: B
B for B-​E-​A-​Utiful! Hah… but no really. It’s a lovely campus. Easy to get around. Not too big. HOWEVER: when it rains, it pours. Like literally, this campus turns into a swamp. Rain boots are an absolute necessity.
PROFESSORS: A
A for awesome… loved my professors! I wish I could hang around them and discuss literary theory forever. But I can’t. Oh well.
FOOD: C
Tastes good, makes you feel sick. Expensive if you decide to buy «Flex» so you can purchase healthier meals.
SECURITY & OTHER STAFF: F
F…as in F you. I hated everyone else on this campus. No one could answer my questions about anything. I got ticketed for 990 dollars worth of parking violations for parking where most sophomores park (although they cut me a break and had me pay 400). And don’t bother calling any offices. I get hung up on, no matter how nice I am.
DORMS: D
Oh sweet baby Jesus. I lived in Schuylkill, and I’m surprised I came out alive. There were weeks where we were not allowed to run showers, flush toilets, or drink from the water fountains. Really? That’s absolutely disgusting. Good thing it’s a suitcase school. There’s no way I could stay there on the weekends. Anyway, D is for Dixon, as in only live in Dixon because it’s practically the only nice building to reside.
Loved it, hated it, probably wouldn’t go back, unless to visit a friend. Mixed feelings.

I just had a photography workshop here. Sure, it’s a haul from Philly area but this campus is gorgeous. We had the workshops in the science center area next to the sports fields. The auditorium was really nice and the Berks Photography club did a nice job with all the audiovisual tech support. I didn’t get to see much of the campus except getting lost and driving around the south campus area. It is absolutely gorgeous and would love to visit here again.
