    In comparison to any private school the education at FSU is equal if not better than many schools in Massachusetts well worth the cost being under $9,000 a year.

    If you're looking for a useless degree, this school may just be for you. The degree itself may be less useful than the acumen of the student body here, the students here slowly deteriorate my faith in humanity with their lack of intelligence and lack of class.

    Fitchburg State University is very modestly price compared to many other schools. While not as large as some other universities in Massachusetts, Fitchburg State provides an engaging, fun, educational, and rewarding college experience to those who do not have the money to pay for more expensive, grandiose schools of higher education. The educators are very efficient in their teaching, and the education is outstanding considering the relatively low cost.
