Rating 3.56 out of 5 1,104 reviews
Shippensburg is a good school. The housing is great. Most of the on campus halls are suite style, but there is an option of communal as well. I have enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken and I haven’t had any issues with professors. They have a lot of on campus events, bingo and dogs on the quad are my favorites. There’s also a lot of opportunities to go to speakers and network. The only issue I have is the dining services. There’s one main dining hall which doesn’t have many options and the food isn’t very good. There are other places on campus to get food but most of them you have to use a meal swipe and flex dollars.
My experience with Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania has been disappointing. The administration is unresponsive and disorganized, causing many delays and frustrations. Communication from the registrar's office is poor, with important information often missing or late. Academic support is weak, and it feels like the university cares more about bureaucracy than helping students succeed. Overall, I expected better support and efficiency.
The professors are invested in seeing students succeed. They are almost always available to students when they reach out for help. Most of the students are respectful and responsible. The campus always has different kinds of events and/or activities going on for students to enjoy their time there and be involved with their classmates and the community. Even being an older student myself, it has been an enjoyable experience taking classes at Ship.
