    I'd say this is a very good school for it's price. West Chester University was named a 2012-2013 Best Value Public University by Kiplinger's Personal Finance.

    The school is not the most expensive university in the world and for what you are paying for, there is much you are getting back. This university is clean, fun, advanced, and filled with amazing people and places to see. For what you are paying, this is as amazing as it can get.

    Overall, considering how cheap in-state students pay, I've really gotten my money's worth out of WCU. I've had some awesome professors and would recommend other consider WCU as an option.
