Winthrop has a nice campus with a lot of green fields. The buildings are old, but some are updated, and there is very little parking for commuters. Winthrop focuses a lot on dorm life, and as a commuter, I felt like an odd one out. The classes I took were mostly good, I only experienced two negative professors during my entire degree. The cultural credit requirement felt silly to me though, as it did not really affect my cultural viewpoint. I do wish there was more security/security did something... Read More during dangerous moments--because it felt like at least once per semester something bad happened and security didn't intervene. People stealing from the science building, buildings catching fire, harassment and sexual assault from non-students entering campus, and more. My education did not really impact my career, I have never gotten a job in my degree field, and the jobs I do are customer service focused. I enjoyed my college overall though.

I am happy to say that the education I am receiving at Winthrop University is stellar. I have had several conversations with passionate, intellectual educators and future educators. We have discussed our views on the current state of the American education system and our plans for our future classrooms. We have shared resources that have enhanced our learning and teaching experiences including texts, videos, and other multimedia. I believe that these conversations have helped me create a strong teaching... Read More philosophy for the greater good. The classes I have participated in have provided me with several strategies and resources to further my teaching ability. While I still have another year left in the program, I already feel confident and excited about teaching in the near future.

The School Psychology program at Winthrop University is a rigorous program that is well worth the challenge. I would consider the program at Winthrop to be the best on the east coast. The professors expect a lot out of their students, but it brings out the best in each student. Winthrop's campus is full of beautiful architecture. The buildings have so much history to teach the students. The campus is large but all of the buildings are within a close radius of one another to make transitioning from... Read More classes easy. Overall, I would recommend this school time and time again to anyone who is looking to go to college.

I received a BA from Winthrop University in History. The classes were well structured with realistic expectations. Professors were easily accessible, and most were excited about teaching. Access to information was great, on campus and through the internet. Librarians are staffed and easily approachable. The databases are up to date and have almost limitless acceptable information. Campus was always active, and the surrounding town had stuff going on if you decided to go and look for it. All and all,... Read More a great experience. Just be sure you do your research on what is available with your degree upon completion. I'm starting a Masters of Teaching at Clemson in May. I'm hoping this will help future students decide where to go, but also that I'll get some financial help for my future.

Winthrop University has a small music department but the quality of instruction and musicianship from of the student is just as good as any of the large Universities such as University of South Carolina, and Furman University. The professors are very caring, and knowledgeable of their subject matter. Winthrop's location also adds to the education experience. Rock Hill, SC is located in an school district that has great band programs and is close to Fort Mill, SC, home of the Carolina Crown Drum and... Read More Bugle Corp. Winthrop does not have a marching band. This allows for music education majors to work with the local marching bands as instructors and teach private lessons to middle school and high school students. Winthrop size also allows student's to participate in other ensembles that may not involve their major instrument. I was a trombone player but I was also able to sing in the chorus, sing in an opera, play in small ensemble such as trombone quarter and jazz combos. Overall I loved my experience at Winthrop and it was a great college choice for me and it highly recommend it.

The summer of 2015, I was technically only home temporarily. I had already purchased a one-way ticket back to Madrid, to return to my teaching position as an English teacher. But something told me I couldn't return to Spain without first speaking with a graduate advisor at Winthrop; while I enjoyed traveling and living abroad, I had an unabated feeling that I needed to visit Winthrop when I returned. That intuitive feeling was right. After meeting with that graduate advisor, I felt inspired. Career... Read More opportunities in nutrition and dietetics are truly endless and she made me feel that way. The professors in the Human Nutrition Department are the backbone of this program, and their expertise shows. In the last five years, almost 100% of students who participated in their internship program passed their Registered Dietitian credentialing exams. This is definitely a major selling point. Winthrop in general is also a wonderful university. The education quality is top notch and the campus is located on a gorgeous, verdant, Southern campus located in Rock Hill, SC. I can also honestly say that the people in Rock Hill exhibit true Southern hospitality. I would highly recommend Winthrop University and I'm very excited to see where this education can take me!
