West Chester is a very nice and quiet school to attend. All without getting caught up in the city life. 'My school has a fantastic opportunity for new students, and returning students to excel in their fields of study. But, that may be the precise reason I didn't get the help or formal career instruction I needed from the only individuals best qualified (and paid) to provide me with it simply not being paid enough to care.' Thank goodness WCU is comparatively cheap. They'll let you do whatever you like, whenever you like, so long as you dedicate yourself to 'finding yourself' by living (and paying) on campus, at their bookstores, for their park passes, paying their parking violations, and becoming a 'more well-rounded person' at their institution. Turns out, a Master's is the new Bachelor's! But, as long as Sallie Mae is dishing out loans and your payments are coming in, West Chester doesn't care.

I've been constantly told by family, friends, media, and fellow students, that a Bachelor's is all you need to enter the job market in the field you've selected at college.

West Chester does not under any circumstances force you to sit down and plan out your graduate career path- they let you fly by the seat of your pants. Nobody, at any point in the process, whether they be the head of the history department or a history professor, informed me that a bachelor's degree in History without any additional qualifiers is essentially a coupon to make $30k a year or less at any generic 9-5 office job.

I completed a Bachelor's in History, without the intent to become either a teacher or historian. They'll let you fall through the cracks and not bat an eye, so long as you pay them for the privilege. 'Go to West Chester for Physical Therapy or a similar degree.
