<p>In Juniata's materials they talk alot about science majors. How is the school for people majoring in the social sciences? For instance, history and psychology.</p>
<p>My d has been accepted there to study psych, languages and theater. They have a high rate of acceptances into grad schools. One of the things I like best is that each student has two faculty advisors. Have you visited?</p>
<p>We haven’t visited yet. But we are planning to visit soon.</p>
<p>One other thing that concerns me is I don’t see any mention of a first year seminar program. Do they have one and I’m just missing it?</p>
<p>I think they do. I would suggest calling the admissions office. They are all super friendly and willing to answer questions from students AND parents!!</p>
<p>We will ask them. I read about Juniata in Colleges That Change Peoples Lives. My son just got in with a very generous merit aid award. So now we are seriously taking a look at them. We have to rapidly learn a lot about Juniata.</p>
<p>We have visited twice and will visit one more time. Very welcoming staff and friendly down to earth student body. Great study abroad opportunities. You have to be comfortable with a working class small town though. My d loves Juniata. It is between juniata and one other school for her. Juniata is known for generous aid so you may get even more money than you expect when you get the financial award package in the spring.</p>
<p>I actually like the idea of a student body that is largely working class. It means lots of hard working highly motivated students.</p>
<p>that is my D and my feeling also. The kids there do not seem to be overly privileged elitist types. Just very nice hardworking student body…not to say they don’t know how to have fun.</p>
