Talk:Wilson College (Pennsylvania)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] POV stuff

"Wilson College does not have a positive academic record within the community of area colleges and universities of south central Pennsylvania. Few local residents attend the school, preferring to attend the much higher ranked and more economical state schools like Shippensburg University or Millersville University or attend Penn State or its branch campuses Penn State Mont Alto and Penn State Harrisburg.

Full time faculty at Wilson College are amongst some of the lowest paid professional educators in the region at the college level and whole academic departments are often made up of one or two faculty members. This fact detracts from the breadth of knowledge offered at this school. Many positions at Wilson College are taught by adjunct faculty without terminal degrees in their field.

Foreign students who attend Wilson College are often disappointed to realize that the promised closeness to major metropolitan regions such as New York and Washington, D.C. are hours away by train, bus or car. The Chambersburg area has few cultural opportunities to entice students away from main campus, which is small and very insular. Major improvements in the relationship between the town of Chambersburg and Wilson College need to be made before this community could ever be considered a true college town with all that this moniker implies."

I removed the above because it looks very POV and unencyclopedic to me. On the other hand - feel free to add some verifiable facts, e.g. newspaper accounts. If this stuff is true, it's very likely something verifiable is out there. Smallbones 16:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
