University of Pittsburgh at Bradford (UPB)

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford ���is a cozy campus nestled in rural Pennsylvania��� that has ���the small town feel with the big city name��� and ���a friendly environment that encourages students to stay.��� At UPB, ���Education comes first. No matter the school activity, exceptions are made in order to complete school work.��� Students rave about the familial atmosphere, which is ���friendly, welcoming, and accepting of all types.��� ���My school is all about bringing everyone together and making them feel like family,��� says one Criminal Justice major. This cozy campus is small enough that ���you never get lost and you have a very good way to access your professors if needed.��� UPB���s ���small learning community��� is a place ���where you know almost everyone and the people are very friendly.��� The small sizes of classes ���are a major strength.��� ���The professors at this university are extremely well versed in their specific fields of study��� and ���are very easy to engage in for help.��� One student reports that ���Professors recognize when students try and reward them appropriately no good deed goes unnoticed.��� The teaching methods are ���interactive��� and students feel ���a part of the learning rather than just a fly on the wall.���

���Country town = country people��� at UPB. Most students ���are from the area so mostly all of us know what the area is like and how to have fun.��� ���A lot of people actually come from surrounding areas such as Philly and New Jersey,��� one student says, while also noting that ���there are many people studying abroad here or from other countries such as China.��� Your typical student ���lives on campus, is friendly, usually is involved in a sport or intramurals, and can get along with anyone.��� ���At Pitt Bradford you are a person with a name a face and people are going to know you, you���re not just a number,��� a Criminal Justice major explains. UPB is an easy place to make connections, as ���all students here need to do is say ���Hi��� to another student and you can be instant friends.��� ���I've learned that all you really have to do is introduce yourself and find something in common with them,��� another student confirms.

���Life at school is always entertaining��� at The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, although ���since it is a smaller campus in a rural setting, you have to create your own fun.��� For example, students enjoy ���bowling for fun, or play paintball��� and ���people are always out and about playing pick up games of football, sand volleyball, soccer, and basketball.��� ���There are clubs for most majors and for a vast majority of interests from MMA to Anime to Star Wars,��� one student explains. ���For fun, people mainly hang out together��� in this ���tight-knit community.��� On campus there ���are a lot of activities put on by the school and by the large number of clubs��� from ���an open mic night to a drag show we had last year!��� Off campus, ���the town does have a lot of events though and that brings the college students out into the community!���
