I had a great time at seton hill. I felt as though most of my professors really cared and weren't just trying to push you through. I had a lot of awesome professors who took the time to meet outside of class time if you needed extra help, and they were always giving constructive criticism. I learned a lot and would go back in a heartbeat. The classes were tough enough that you had to put in effort.

I love Seton Hill for all that it has brought me. My professors and the people here are truly amazing. I played soccer here, and unfortunately I did not have the best experience. I had 3 coaches in 4 years, and it was really challenging. I think that the campus food is an issue, it is often uncooked and a safety hazard. The parking is also a really big problem. There are more commuters than parking spots, and it causes big issues for us.

It's small, not too crazy and everyone knows everyone. The surrounding town doesn't add much. definitely developing
