Why should I consider Juniata?

<p>I applied to Juniata College and was accepted. Now I'm wondering if I should seriously consider it or not. Does anyone have opinions? </p>

<p>I'm wondering about the location--is it in the middle of or near the edge of Huntingdon? How popular or noticeable are groups like AWOL, United Spiritual Council, and Japanese Club? </p>

<p>Are there any other things--positive or negative--that you think I should know? Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Josiahm, Juniata is on the edge of Huntingdon. It's definately walking distance to town. My kids (daughter college soph, and son HS junior) friend is a freshman there and I got the impression that he and college friends walk into town pretty often. It is pretty out-of-the-way though so if you're looking for much night life, this is not the place. The friend actually has a Japanese roommate and it sounds like Juniata is really trying to recruit more internationals. </p>

<p>I just looked on their website and see that they have a Japanese club and a United Spiritual council. Here's the link: <a href="http://services.juniata.edu/osa/clubs.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://services.juniata.edu/osa/clubs.html&lt;/a> One other thing that I thought was nice, they hook up each international student with a local family so when there is a short break, they can stay with the family. I think internationals also come a little earlier (maybe just a day) to get acclimated. I loved Juniata and my kids who have very different interests did too.</p>
