Commonwealth University - Bloomsburg Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 1,539 reviews
My experience at Commonwealth University - Bloomsburg has been overwhelmingly positive. The campus has a welcoming atmosphere, and the professors are genuinely dedicated to helping students succeed. I’ve enjoyed the diverse academic opportunities, particularly the ability to pursue both a Public Health Education bachelor's degree and an accelerated MBA with a Human Resources concentration. The supportive environment has allowed me to grow personally and professionally, from engaging in collaborative group projects to developing leadership skills as a Resident Assistant.
One area for improvement could be increased communication about program changes, as this has impacted some friends. Overall, I’m grateful for the education and experiences Bloomsburg has provided.

Bloomsburg is a great place to attend college. As a double management/marketing major, their AASCB-accredited business program was a draw for me. The staff and professors are wonderful, and are very passionate educators. Our campus offers many enriching events, and has every club imaginable. The only downside is that the surrounding town is in the middle of nowhere, which does not lead to many other opportunities off-campus. Overall however, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bloomsburg so far!
Bloomsburg was a really great school with a lot of opportunities to explore your interests both academically and personally. I loved the range of student programs you could join. I wish they had a wider net of degree related study abroad programs and in my experience, the advisors were not always the best. Overall, I enjoyed my experience!
