5 Reasons You Should Attend Pitt State
Pittsburg State University

About a year ago, I visited a little(ish) college called Pittsburg State University. It was like a movie. Frightened little high school senior getting thrown into the pond of growing up finds herself a home within the first hour of being there. Now, a year later, I am attending school here. So, if you're a high school senior, or junior, or just browsing for colleges, here are five reasons as to why you should attend this wonderful school.

1. Pittsburg, KS is a small town with plenty to do. When I first visited Pitt, I didn't think there would be anything to do, and on some days it still feels like that. But with a Braums, a bowling alley, and other restaurants, there's plenty of stuff left to do when you and your friends get bored.

2. The campus is absolutely beautiful. As soon as I came onto campus, I was shocked by how pretty it is here. From the buildings to the landscape. Everywhere you turn there is something to look at.

3. Everyone is nice. Three weeks into living here, I have yet to meet an unkind person. Like every town and college, there are some people you just get the wrong vibe from, but here, you know automatically who those people are. Pittsburg is such a nice town with nice people.

4. The classes are small enough to where you don't feel crowded. This is one of the main reasons I chose to come here. The classrooms are small enough to where you don't feel like you don't know what's going on due to overcrowding. The biggest class I have is probably around 81-85 people. So you really get to know your classmates and professors.

5. The school spirit. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the level of spirit we have here at Pitt. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I got here. Everyone is proud to be a gorilla and they aren't afraid to show it.

I am proud to be a gorilla. Pitt State feels like home. So come home and Go-Rillas!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
