Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

This is my daughter’s final year at Slippery Rock University. One of the 14 state colleges in PA tuition is reasonable if you live in state. Slippery Rock is located about 10 miles south of Grove City and its outlets. They offer a vast assortment of majors and minors for one seeking a quality college education.
Set is a semi rural community it is more laid back and the town itself is small. Slippery Rock provides for the students on and off campus bus service which they call «The Happy bus» to transport them to and from classes. The downside however, is that they stop operating sometime after 4 on weekdays and there is very limited service on weekends.
The university comprises of 4 colleges-​business, education, liberal arts, and health, environment and science. The Robert Smith student center was updated a couple of years ago which houses the bookstore, Starbucks, Rocky’s (eating area) and a place to unwind. The Aebersold recreation center offers different types of exercise including a swimming pool, weights, and even a rock climbing wall. They have different activities, organizations sports, and fraternities.
The University is about a 1 hour drive from either Pittsburgh, Erie, or Youngstown, Ohio. Again the only downside is that there is no public transportation to any of these cities. Although not required having a car is a must especially if one is taking evening classes or needs to go home after their daily bus service hours end. The yearly parking fee for students is $ 25.00. You can’t beat that deal anywhere.
Students are required to live in the dorms the first year only. Afterwards they can live anywhere within a reasonable radius of campus. The staff whom I have met are both friendly and helpful. My daughter is very pleased to be attending college here.
