Student Reviews and Ratings for Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Mont Alto
Overall Rating:
As a local, I really love going to Mont Alto. It is a great school for any kind of student. My favorite part is having access to the academic support center. Tutors are provided to students for free and the professors are very helpful during office hours. If you wish to have a 1 on 1 college experience, Mont Alto is the place to be. Small classes provides opportunity for connections and extra help.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Penn State, Mont Alto is a very quiet and convinient campus, however, I encourage any minority or disabled student to refrain from attending here. The population is very "white-washed", and lacks professionalism, with staff that is intimidating, passive-aggressive, with underscores of resentment and entitlement. I recommend Hagerstown Community College, or Shippensburg University, for any diverse students looking for a reasonable campus in Washington/Franklin Counties.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™One of Penn State's best satellite campuses. Great rural setting, close to many state parks and forests.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™It's unfortunate the google user posted such a poor comment about Penn State. It seems contrived to sully a good name. This is a great place. They do have frequent transportation for the students since there is no public transportation. It's perfect for students who DON'T want to be right in the middle of a city. Please look past the very limited scope of some of the reviews provided and experience it for yourself and make the informed decision. Fantastic place to start the college experience!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I am a current student at mont alto. This coming year I will be the student manager at the campus cafeteria as well as president of the Penn state mont alto student government association . Yes the campus isn't in the middle of a city and a general way of transportation is necessary if you want to go out of town. The campus is the most welcoming and communal place ever. The professors all truly care whether or not you succeed however I've had issues with my chemistry professors. Over all its my favorite place in the world I wish I could stay there forever.
