Most professors are nice and easy to get along with. There are always the hard classes that students don’t like, but most classes are at least interesting on some level, and encourage you to think beyond what is taught in the classroom.

Too good to be true? Possibly, but overall, most Juniata students really do love Juniata. They don’t always like it, but most of the time they do. Why do they love it, and why do they not? Because Juniata is a small college in a small town. Yes, it has its advantages, and it has its drawbacks. If something’s going to kill your experience, it’s bound to be its smallness. But overall and overwhelmingly? Well, you’ve just read it. Students and professors are warm, welcoming, and largely open-minded. Opportunities on campus and around the world are literally endless and growing. The College is not perfect, but if something’s wrong or broken, the administration does its best to fix it. Students appreciate that. As with anything you love, it’s true that sometimes you just don’t like whatever it is you say you adore, but that doesn’t change your feelings in the end. That pretty much sums up the Juniata experience. Students work hard, have fun, find their passions, and prepare for the world and the future. They also occasionally pull their hair out from claustrophobia. But in the end, they do appreciate Juniata, both while they’re there and after they graduate. And in the end, their overall experiences are precisely why they recommend Juniata so strongly and
so happily.

"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." |
|
"I absolutely loved Juniata—beautiful campus, friendly, interested (and interesting) professors, cute little town, and so many cool people I met while I was there. If I had to choose again, I’d definitely pick Juniata. On the other hand, since I’ve never attended a different college, I don’t have that much to compare it to, really, and maybe if I’d picked somewhere else, I would have thought that was the ‘best place ever,’ too." |
|
"I could not have found a better college to attend. The classes can be hard, but hey, this is college. It is a very friendly atmosphere and you meet a lot of good people. I could not be happier with any other college." |
|
"I don’t know how I got here, but I’m here and it fits. I wouldn’t trade it unless I was accepted to Princeton. Everyone is helpful and most people are very nice." |
|
"I love my choice of Juniata, and I can’t imagine having gone anywhere else. Each person’s experience will be different, but for me, it was absolutely the right choice." |
