As an alumnus, I highly recommend parents do not send their children to this university. While Clarion community is great and the university has some stellar faculty, the institution is, overall, of very poor quality. The administration is more focused on a "fun college experience" than academic standards. A high percentage of students do not graduate and, if they do, cannot find a job with their near-useless degrees. My recommendations: 1) invest in a better institution with rigorous academics, or 2) save the money and enter the workforce. Clarion University is good for a few fun college years, but it's not good for your future.

Heath Calhoon, the clarion diving coach, emotionally manipulates his athletes. Common practice of belittling and retaliatory actions towards his team. He should be investigated by NCAA. It's a shame that those under his authority are scared to come forward for fear they will lose scholarship money or be kicked off the team.

The integration of Clarion University with two other schools has been a disaster. Enrollment is down and state funding is at the bottom of the table in the nation which has forced administration to make difficult decisions just to keep the place running. The decisions have almost all been to the detriment of the students. Administrators claim that they have not "cut any majors" because one of the other campuses still has that program. I do not go to Edinboro or California and I am not going to travel an hour and a half daily to attend a class that is only available elsewhere. General education classes are being cut or moved online. My major, theatre, has been sunset and the quality has diminished exponentially semester after semester. We went from two productions a semester to one to none. Next semester there will not be a single theatre class on this campus. If you want to attend a school with plentiful options of classes to take outside of your major (that isn't at risk of getting cut), do not come here.

School endorsed landlord (Slumlord) didn't keep property up and city nor school cared. Was told by city,"Their just students!" City wanted students money but treated students like they were problems. Education was good but the rest was not. Side walks were terrible all winter were students where. I wouldn't send a family member their. Student daughter ticketed by city police for having studded snow tires even though she was coming back on Sunday from northern snow storm. Went to court and judge said studs hurt streets, could of cared less about student safety.

Clarion university football team should be kicking every single player that was at that party sunday evening what they did to those kids is horrible and if nothing gets done about it shame on you as a college university you all know them football players need to be held acountable for their actions instead they are out there trying to itimidate people and trying to hide behind the whole football team!!!!!!
