My overall experience at West Chester University was tough at first, but then I slowly got comfortable! Unfortunately, personal events occurred during my first semester and totally wrecked my mental state, on top of that I had to juggle my job and school, and I had little time for my studies, which caused me to perform poorly with my grades. however, by the start of my second semester, I got my things together fully focused on my education, and got higher grades!
West Chester University of Pennsylvania is a great school! There are tons of great restaurants and activities to do within walking distance of the campus. The campus also has many spots for students to study or spend time with friends. The parking could be better for commuter students, and there could be more areas where commuter students could spend time. The professors at the school are amazing and most are easily approachable. They truly want to see everyone succeed and achieve their goals.
I have loved my experience in West Chester's Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. Not only is the curriculum thoughtfully crafted to encompass both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the field; it also has a team of amazing professors to guide us along. There is no doubt in my mind that when I graduate I will be ready to enter the field. I also know when I graduate, I will have a great support network to guide me when I face challenges. Overall, for a state school cost, West Chester's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program presents an outstanding opportunity for students aiming to enter the helping profession.
