The Good and Bad of Slippery Rock University

[@jenniferfernandes5480]

Love SRU! It was close enough to the city Pittsburgh as well as the country McConnells Mills. My experience there prepared me for anything. Class sizes were small and you really get to know your professors.

[@TheRealPAX]

For sure lol can’t wait to go back in a month

[@weme1111]

Made me even more excited about SRU! I found this quite helpful as I prepare for my freshman year x

[@CourtneyQuist]

Miriam Bates YAYYY!!!❤️️❤️️

[@SRUTransferConnection]

5 years later and this video still sums it all up pretty well!

[@vivixio2737]

I'm considering universities right now, and slippery rock is one of them. I live so far away, but it looks like such an amazing place. Thanks for this! I'll keep this one in mind.

[@Jenna3Duncan]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video only made me MORE excited to attend SRU! Luckily I live near by so I'm used to the rain. Lol. Do you have any kind of social media that I could contact you through in case I have any other questions??

[@CourtneyQuist]

Jenna Duncan Oh my gosh! YES! Twitter and Instagram is @Courtneyraine_

[@anna_ezell]

Jenna Duncan I go to slippery rock middle school😂

[@lexisilvis2394]

Im 14 which people say its too early to think about college and everything but ive had my heart on slippery rock since i was 11. Its not too far from home and a few of my cousins have gone there and they loved it.

[@CourtneyQuist]

This is awesome. You are so so right! It is never too early to look at colleges!

[@GreenNectarines]

Awesome girl_92 trust me, it's never too early to get in detail about your goals.

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

Class of 84....BS in Biology...a B student.....scored 95% on GRE in Biology..that means I did better than 95% of all Biology majors in the country. I found my masters program a review. The small class sizes allowed our profs to really do a great job.

[@dennislscottjr5831]

Thanks for the vid. As alum leaving with B. S. in Biological Sciences, I can attest to the strength of great biology department since I worked with graduates of many well-thought private colleges and universities who were so less prepared for lab and research work than I was when I graduated. DO UNDERGRAD RESEARCH!

[@timmysamecphd]

Hey Courtney! Great vid! Not sure if you remember me but we went to SRU together! Such a good time at SRU and definitely miss it there!!

[@loganberlew3191]

Slippery Rock sounds a lot like my college, we are definitely smaller, we only had 2,500 when I graduated, and one thing to remember is I was a townie as Trine is in my hometown, so when you take into account that you have the college bars and your a townie, I had a lot of friends asking me to direct them to fun stuff. The professor thing is true to, they try and connect with you, I am friends with most of my professors still

[@sparkylikestrash3788]

I'm a senior in high school this year and deciding between a couple colleges and videos like this make me so happy!!! thank you for this, I love seeing people's personal take on the college. wish me luck on deciding!

[@CourtneyQuist]

Good luck! :)

[@kelsitt]

Lucky you having a good experience there. I entered as a freshman in 2010 and withdrew for financial reasons in 2016. It was mostly just the department I was in. I didn't have priority scheduling like the varsity athletes did so I was always the last in my department to register. I wasn't able to get into any classes and a lot of the classes in my major at the time were only offered once every 2 years. After my freshman year our department head changed, they tried incorporating a new track in the major (which honestly was just the parks and recreation major with the physical education minors attached). MOST of my professors there were wonderful - shout out to the Adapted Physical Activity teachers. But I had a couple teachers that just made me hate the program I was in, would blatantly play favorites (I got in trouble for not showing up to a meeting because I got in an accident, showing up the first day out of uniform when there were people that showed up every day out of uniform, and just a lot of stuff like that). We those teachers only ever taught the higher level classes and were the only ones teaching them. By that point I already had close to 300 credits and my GPA was low due to medical issues I was having at the time, so it's completely understandable that I couldn't get into my new major, but at the same time it was impossible to pull my GPA up from there. My advice from my experience to anyone going to Slippery Rock: if you have a bad feeling about a program you're in, leave. I was scared to leave the department until last minute. That being said, I had AWESOME experiences with the clubs I was in. I was involved with the Paranormal Club my first 3 years, I helped to get the women's club soccer team up and running, and I got the chance to go to Oregon twice to compete in the collegiate goalball national tournament. I went to Ireland for spring break on St Patrick's day with the coaching minor as well and actually found my new major through that trip.

[@eternallyexistential1103]

I'm really excited to start! I'm almost done with the application but unfortunately as an international student, it's a lot harder for me to get the documents, and I have a really hard time finding SRU's contact email.

[@BeefSlimmington]

Finally found someone. I’m starting next year as well. Hope to see you around.

[@scott5087]

I’m committing to Slippery Rock tomorrow! I was kind of hesitant to do so because my dream school is Pitt and I got accepted there and all, but I’m just as fine with Slip! I’m gonna be majoring in computer science. It’s gonna be a good time :) thank you for this video

[@CourtneyQuist]

SRU is great for computer science! You are going to have a blast!

[@khalidalnowaiser7915]

So how was it? I'm thinking about attending Slippery Rock for computer science, is it any good? (international student)

[@scott5087]

@@khalidalnowaiser7915 awesome! I’ve met some of the best people here and I landed an awesome research position for the Department of Energy

[@scott5087]

Rewatching this now living in San Francisco!! I won Homecoming King in 2022. Crazy to see how I commented on this before I even went to Slip. Go Rock!!💚

[@SammiJinx]

I'm going for their exercise science pre-pt program!! I live in York County, PA, so I live about 6 hours away. I'm newer to your videos, so forgive me if you've already mentioned it, but can you talk about housing? I chose the suites so I could live in the health LLC, but I'm curious to see if the extra 3,500 choice was a good one. Love this inside look into a smaller campus, so awesome, thank you!!

[@CourtneyQuist]

SammiJinx I'm so excited that you are coming to Slip! My next video is going to be all about the traditional halls! It should be up sometime this week!! ☺️☺️❤️️ The suites are beautiful but I lived in North Hall for 2 years, so I'm going to be talking all about my experiences in it! Especially for your major, the LLC will be super beneficial! Because you will be living with the students that you are in your classes! If you ever have any questions about a HW assignment, you can literally just walk down the hallway and ask your classmates.

[@SammiJinx]

Courtney Raine that was the selling point for me! Thank you so much for these videos!

[@thomastexwilson7323]

Great review. The Rock is a 1000 times better now than when stepped on campus in 1985. Being from Texas it was a serious change in reality but I am still faithful to the Rock. I played for the university on the football team started Sigma Nu there and I have a great number of friends today from my years at The Rock. Go Rock!!!!!

[@sarasykes1469]

I cant wait to start!! This video was amazing!

[@CourtneyQuist]

You'll love it

[@allegiancebattista3184]

Hi! I was wondering what the bathrooms were like in traditional dorms? Bathrooms are of huge importance, and if I don't get a suite, I'm worried about the communal bathrooms...

[@bellabunni3]

Just visited the campus today and I absolutely love it! Torn between this and another university but this one was so nice! I’m graduating from high school this year and plan on going to college for biology and slip’s bio program looks awesome!

[@CourtneyQuist]

Awh! This is great to hear! What other university are you looking at?

[@kmck5885]

I’m going to Slippery Rock!! #Classof2025! I got a full ride for basketball!

[@PreciseVids]

I'm interested in this school, I'm 20 and I know I can make it in. It's great that you have this channel. Do you know anything about the engineering program?

[@avocado4313]

LegendofVII I also have this question. I’m planning on going here after I graduate

[@robdesign64]

So my son is interested in SRU. Would you consider it a college town or a town with a college?

[@CourtneyQuist]

Hmmmm... not 100% sure how to answer that. The town and the college feel very separate when you attend. The town in itself is very very small. So small that some business close in the summer.

[@robdesign64]

Okay, that kind of answers my question. My daughter attends Juniata and they have a similar situation. What do students do their for a social life?

[@CourtneyQuist]

On campus: There are clubs, organizations, a movie theater, planetarium, and restaurant. In town: There are restaurants, yogurt shops, bowling. The college is 15 minutes to the Grove City Outlet mall. And it is only 20 minute away from Butler, where there is like everything! :)

[@robdesign64]

Courtney Raine Thanks so much for all that info. My son will be doing a baseball prospect camp there later this year or early next year. We will get a chance to see if for ourselves. Sounds good.

[@abigailford8117]

I am only a sophomore in high school. Yea I know I am young and everything but I am also in a program at a local community college where I live called Trio Upward Bound and they help us find colleges and what not to help us with our future. I looked on slippery rocks website and the money to go for one year is $29600 which includes the fees, tuition, rooms, and meals without the GPA of 3.0. My freshman GPA was 2.5 so that is why I did it without the 3.0 GPA because just in case. But I want to be a pharmaceutical scientist. But I want to stay in the field of chemistry. I know I am putting a lot in here but I just wanted to know I live in Ohio and SRU is in PA so yea. Really I just want to know is that price range right. Like how much did you pay?

[@reimybeloved8126]

Update update! What collage did you end up going to?

[@AllThingsAniyah]

Went to cheer camp there and decided I loved the campus... and just got accepted❣️ I’m still deciding though

[@mattmuse9111]

I'm going to Sru in the fall as a freshman and I hope to see you there!

[@starry3yed00]

So I actually just started as a freshman at Slippery Rock this fall, I do have a question about Boozels though. Most of the time some food sucks, are there specific days where the food tastes better, like tour days and stuff?

[@CourtneyQuist]

I mean.. I'm sure they try a little harder on Orientation days. However, I didn't think the food was bad. Are you branching out and trying all the stations???

[@erinegnot5733]

Hi Courtney! My name is Erin and I will most likely attend Slippery Rock in the fall of 2018. I will graduate high school in 2018. I hope to major in the exercise science program with the long term goal of becoming a DPT. I have toured Slippery Rock 2 times now and I absolutely love it! You were actually my tour guide during my first visit! Your youtube videos help me out so much and make me so excited to attend Slippery Rock!

[@CourtneyQuist]

Awhhh I'm so happy that you are most likely coming to Slip! We have an amazing exercise science program! Just remember if you ever have any questions, feel free to message me anytime! ❤️️❤️️

[@linaramos3879]

Erin E I️m going in the Fall of 2018 as well with the same major!!

[@aneeshsurendar1369]

Do you think the rock is a good uni to do theatre in

[@abrahampatterson25]

Lol watching this because I just got accepted and I can’t wait to be a freshman next year :)

[@imblack6747]

Just went there today for orientation...

[@brandon3693]

How much is for a year

[@delainegneco7352]

Hi! Thanks for the video♥ It helped me so much. I´m a prospective international fresmen student, and I would attend in fall 2018. I´m really into this University at the moment, cause it´s so cool and this video made me love it more. Can you do a video talking about the classes and the admission/application process? It would be great!

[@CourtneyQuist]

So glad it helped! Let me see what I can do ;) If you ever have any specific questions, message me on Instagram! I would love to help you out! :D

[@Ahmad-Nader]

thank you very much for this very informative video about SRU. I'm an international student and i'm really curious about family housing in the area because i will be bringing my family and i think i have to stick to off campus housing. Can you please give me an idea about family housing in the area?

[@gregorybabiak5845]

Bobs Sub shop and Rock Falls rock and great places to hang.

I'm just kidding. Thanks for the comment :D

[@seanathin-c7n]

Senior here. SRU has def been a life-changing experience for me. All the cons you went over are actually almost like the only things people ever mention when they complain about the place lol. All in all, college is what you make it. Remember that you are here to get an education, not party 24/7 lol! I mean, have fun when you can and def make life-long friends that you'll always cherish and have good times with. But remember to focus on your academics first. You'll thank yourself later 😉.
