    Am learning a lot

    There is a lot of things to be learned when going to a college in general. Most of all I believe that we learn the real world and real people when we attend college

    Am learning a lot

    I feel this school is teaching me a lot. The majority of the professors have doctoral degrees. The most important thing to me at this school is that the professors actually know how to teach and relate to the students. It seems that other universities which have large classes and professors who may be extremely knowledgeable on there subject but not know how to teach it to others. At Cheyney University the professors seem to really know their material as well as how to transfer that knowledge to their students. There are small classes and student teacher relationships are great. Finding your professor for extra help is never an issue.
    Am enjoying being here

    Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is the Oldest Historically Black College/University (HBCU) That being said the campus has activities specific to African American students. The campus is filled with Greek life, talent shows, fashion shows, as well as step shows. Cheyney is home to the Wolves. They have a basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, bowling, and cheerleading teams. They also have intermural sports. They also host The Soulful Sound Marching Band. The band has its dancers and colored guards. I enjoy most homecoming and concerts, bowling and skating parties, may weekend and spring concerts.
    Bang for the buck

    Cheyney University is very affordable at about $15,000 a year in state and $24,000 out-of-state. There are many activities available on campus. There is a new dorm that was just built and will open in fall '12'. This dorm and one other dorm has suite styled rooms. All dorms have wireless internet and have cable. (Bring cable cord)
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't let the thought of an HBCU scare you away Cheyney is a wonderful university with diverse students. Which ever school you choose to attend remember why you went to school and do not get caught up in college life good luck.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for individuals who are looking to go to an HBCU. It is great for a student that is as I was, I attended schools that were majority white most of my life. Once I graduated high school I felt that in order to be a well round person of society I needed to attend a school with a majority of African Americans. Cheyney is a majority African American school but not ALL. I found this comforting as a first year student. Students at Cheyney literally come from all around the world and country and are not all of African descent.
