Student Reviews and Ratings for Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Mont Alto
Overall Rating:
I enjoyed my time at Penn State Mont Alto. The campus is small which provides a great atmosphere. The professors I had were very knowledgeable and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we understood the content that was being taught.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This campus is in the middle of nowhere which is not convenient for those without a car. There is only 1 place to eat food and it often closes at early times which is not convenient for those without a car Professors are terrible and use a terrible grading system when it comes to their courses plus they are very petty when it comes to grading students who they seem to not like. Some professors teach classes one way but take exams from other campuses to give out to students which do not contain the same teaching style they have taught us the students. This campus with Academically hold you back if you plan on transferring to main campus because of the small amount of classes that are available. There are advisors who will trick you into staying at Mont Alto for 4 years and as a student you must do your own research as too what and where you want to go and make sure you are not getting duped into staying at such an atrocious campus for your undergraduate degree. A lot of courses here have to be self taught due to terrible teachers. If you are a minority i advice you to not attend Mont Alto due to racism that is out there in that community and within the school, there are a couple of white students who use the "N word" but do not let minority hear them say it when they are around. This campus does not take the problems of racism serious and often push it aside due to their lack of empathy of any situation. The campus does not make Minority feel welcomed at all.. The retention rate is dropping because this campus lacks a lot of things and is overall terrible and the people around here are worse. Please do not listen to any of the great reviews on this campus because i can honestly say that if you are not from around the Mont Alto area this campus would be the worst Penn State Campus to attend.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Unfortunately, there are individuals on this campus that are undeserving of the power that they have. They should not be allowed to "represent" Penn State in the fashion in which they do. I don't wish this campus on my worst enemy.Not a bad location if you were in Witness Protection.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™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.
