Juniata College - Off the Record

Students come to Juniata for a lot of reasons, many of which you'll find in the brochures. It's true you'll find great science programs there. They're top notch, actually, and growing, as are most of the academic programs. Statistics will verify this. But this book wants nothing to do with statistics! Well, okay, maybe some, but just the facts. The point is, this book aims to show you what's true about the brochures and what's not, and to show what you can't see in the brochures or the statistics.

See what the students are saying about:

Academics:
'The professors are all people who want to be here. Many are Juniata alums who find themselves drawn back to campus. Juniata is a place where the professors can interact with students who are dedicated and ready to help with research and forming new ideas. My classes are interesting and utilize a lot of student input and discussion. I always have to prepare because I know I'll be called upon to interact in class and see the material from many different sides.'

'The teachers are good. They know your name, and they care about who you are and how you do. They actually say hi when you pass them around campus. They're great to talk to outside of class. And of course, there's those select few who are just totally awesome and you know your life will never be the same because of them. Classes are mostly interesting, especially when they're in your POE. I found upper-level classes to be more interesting than the introductory ones.'

Overall Experience:
'I love Juniata. I hated, hated, hated it at first because I wasn't used to the rural atmosphere; now I can't imagine being anywhere else, and I'd love to come back as a prof.'

'I love Juniata. I feel at home here. I can be confident in what I'm doing and take my own ideas and make them happen. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.'
