Slippery Rock University is expecting a large “Class of 2022” to start their college education today.
A total of 1,580 students will begin the fall semester. That doesn’t break a record- which was set last fall when 1,597 students started class- but it’s close.
SRU says the average high school grade-point average of incoming freshman at SRU is 3.44 and their average SAT score is 1,103, both higher than last year’s class.
“We are excited about the quality and diversity of the freshman class,” said Amanda Yale, associate provost for enrollment management. “The quality is evident in the increases of SAT scores and high school GPAs of this class, which means they are well prepared academically for the college experience.”
Sixteen states and eight countries are represented in the 2018 freshman class.
“We are thankful for all of the faculty, staff and upper-division students who have helped us to recruit this freshman class,” Yale said. “Students choose SRU for a variety of reasons, including the quality of our academic programs, the value and affordability, our location and the overall quality of the student experience. But what we hear most about what our prospective students and their families value is caring about the student’s success in and out of the classroom.”
Three incoming freshmen say the reasons they choose SRU are those mentioned by Yale, but also positive interactions with faculty, staff, alumni and current students that helped them decide that SRU was right fit for them.
