<p>Can someone tell me if they would recommend either Neumann University or Bloomsburg University? We are just starting to look at colleges for my daughter. Thank you</p>

<p>My knowledge of either school is minimal, but other posters will ask you what your D might major in and what she’s looking for in a university experience. Check out this post for some guidance:</p>

<p>We went today to Neumann and I just can’t send her there. My oldest daughter attends Lebanon Valley. There is no comparison. She wants to be a psychology major. Thank you for the link</p>

<p>I know someone who went to rural Bloomsburg and graduated in 1981, I think it was. Bloomsburg no doubt has changed since then, but back then the town of Bloomsburg didn’t seem to have a lot going on. He spent most of the time on campus, tho, not just because the town was weak but because he played ball. He was a marketing major with a double minor in beer and young women. He played for 3 years, and he had a lot of help playing, until just before his senior year he woke up and stopped playing and gave up ballin’. Lost a lot of friends who kept right on playing. That’s the impression I have of the school: at that time, many of the students at Bloomsburg were local PA (and sometimes) NJ students who went off to college and played hard. Back then, he had no problems finding marketing job offers with his 2.7 or 2.8. </p>

<p>Could have happened anywhere, of course, but it’s one thing to look into when you visit colleges. Talk to the students about drug and alcohol use at the school. Ask them about how many hours a week they study. Ask them whether they party thursday night? ever Wednesday night? </p>

<p>^very good questions (“do you party on Wednesday night? what about Thursday night?”) And finding marketing jobs with a 2.7 from Bloomsburg these days… let’s say I wouldn’t bet on it.
(With a 3.5 and internships, of course the situation’s different, although I wouldn’t pick marketing).
It all depends on your daughter’s stats of course.
Can you look into Lycoming, King’s, UScranton, Eastern, Albright, Arcadia, Drew, Fairleigh-Dickinson, Washington&Jefferson, Hiram, Wooster (may be a reach), Gannon, Wittenberg, Muskingum? Run the Net Price Calculators to see whether they’d be affordable.</p>
