Literally snuggled in the Appalachian Mountains, Mansfield University of Pennsylvania is surrounded by small-town life. A public school, Mansfield houses many students with artistic majors much as drama or music. It does, however, have a variety of majors from nursing to environmental studies.
One feature of Mansfield's application process that students like is the fact that it does not require an essay. SAT scores must be sent, but the requirements are low, making it easy to get accepted. The school, though very small, is dynamic and unique. It has many clubs and organizations for students to become involved in.
Mansfield sits very close to the New York border - Corning is a mere 26 miles and Elmira is less than an hour away.
Also, Mansfield is an extremely inexpensive institution, at only about $7,000 per year. Students applying to Mansfield don't have to worry about applying for scholarships, either. As soon as the student applies, their name is entered for whichever scholarships they are eligible for. Mansfield is not only very convenient for the applicant and the student, but it makes students (and their parents) feel like they got the most for their money.
