Mansfield University of Pennsylvania

Mansfield University offers small class sizes in a rural town. The professors were involved with your education, they were always available for help. The buildings were opened late if for instance, you were an art major and needed access to certain classrooms to work on your projects. I was a local, so I knew the town very well before I applied there. At the time, there wasn't much to do outside of campus but new businesses are popping up all over Main Street and North Central PA is known for its walking and hiking trails. There were many clubs you could participate in to keep you occupied on campus though. The only downside to Mansfield University...it is literally built on a hill and it can be brutal, especially if you are an art student and have to carry your supplies with you. But you will have amazing calf muscles!

The parking situation could be better. Since I graduated there, they have built new dorms over some old parking lots so I'm not sure where you're able to park now. Cardiac Hill is self-explanatory since the campus was built on a steep hill. At the time I attended, they were cutting down programs. I'm not sure what the current programs look like.

Mansfield is a great place to attend college. there are lots of resources and great dorm rooms.

There are a lot of hills to walk up to get to classes
