    The tuition at YSU is less expensive than at the more well known schools. Why pay thousands more for the same degree when you can do just as well at YSU and pay much less.

    For what you pay at YSU the education you will receive for your undergraduate degree is great. Undergraduate degrees are quickly becoming like high school diplomas so if you can graduate undergrad with minimal debt and good grades that is what you want to do.

    This is a wonderful school and being a transfer student, I have experience other than this institution. The students and professors are super helpful, as are the campus staff. The professors love to teach and are excited to help students learn. Do not let the reputation of Youngstown sway you from this university: it is entirely separated from the city, while downtown is just a few blocks away! There is always something happening and new people to meet.

    Its a really inexpensive college to attend for any local students. They have a great library and pool tables in the main building. Whether you need a way to spend your free time or study for a difficult class, they have something to do.
