Got a bachelors and masters in biology from WCU. All in all I had a great experience. Beautiful campus. Great instructors. Plentiful party scene. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

West Chester University is a great school in a great area. Generally speaking, the professors are professional and enjoy teaching. The students group on campus are varied and plentiful. West Chester is a wonderful town and the surround area is historic.

I attend choir in the music buildings on campus. And the students are great, kind, and helpful! Definitely planning on attending here.

I have seen little to no reviews by parents here and I am going to fix that. We sent our daughter to WC because it was local (40 min) had a good reputation and was reasonably priced, and let me be clear, her degree did help her land a good position for a new grad. However, I was very disappointed that some of her professors would start political discussions with the class and present their biased liberal views as fact. They discouraged any opposing view points that did not fit their paradigm . My daughter trusted them and expected her professors to present her with facts, not opinions disguised as such. If any of the students would question their views, they were quickly and rudely "contained". As a result, she was reluctant to voice her opinion. I was not aware of this at first since we didn't talk that much about politics. One time when we did have a serious political discussion I was shocked at her view points, very different than what I expected. When I asked her why she felt the way she did, she told me her professors told her these "facts". These professors never offered their students an alternative view to the issues so they could weigh the evidence and make their own choices. In issue after issue she was never given information on both sides of the story so she could make an educated, unbiased, adult, informed decision. Thankfully she now considers both sides of an issue and was as disappointed as I was at this behavior. This type of rhetoric is rampant in our universities today and is robbing our children of the opportunity to become well balanced adults. In my opinion(please note I clearly stated opinion unlike these professors), this sounded like as much of an indoctrination as an education. This was directed at one of our children's most basic rights as an American, the right to free speech. If you are conservative, moderate or even liberal in your views and you want your children to be educated in an unbiased manner, you may want to take this into consideration.

i love my school, but i wouldn’t recommend it, nor send my kids here. there are way too many police officers here who seem more concerned with discriminating against college students and preventing them from having a fun college experience than actually protecting them. this is part of the reason why wcu has a complicated party scene; places are hard to get into without the right connections, partially because there is a fear of having too many people and attracting police attention.

Great school! I graduated in 2016, as a fifth year and loved every second of it. Very diverse, and opened me up to new communities.

My niece/goddaughter graduated HS here. Well organized. Plenty of space. Overall excellence.
