06. Student Body

What students say:

At King鈥檚, students 鈥渙verall care about their academics and putting happiness before everything.鈥 Every student 鈥渟eems committed to studies and doing the best that they possibly can.鈥 The Catholic mission is apparent, and everyone here is 鈥渁ccepting and welcoming to fellow students who come from diverse, multicultural, and differing backgrounds.鈥 Many students here are commuters, so the library acts as a de facto hangout spot, as does the campus game room (which has pool and table tennis), but fear not: 鈥淭here are many commuters that participate in after-school activities and are very involved in multiple clubs on campus.鈥 At King鈥檚, 鈥減eople have their close friends groups,鈥 which 鈥渦sually come from sharing the same sports or the same major.鈥

08. Campus Life

What students say:

The King鈥檚 College atmosphere is apparent from the moment you set foot at the school: everyone is 鈥渟o welcoming and friendly,鈥 and it makes the college 鈥渇eel like a home away from home.鈥 Students say the campus, located 鈥渋n a nice part of Wilkes-Barre,鈥 gives people 鈥渢he city feel they want鈥 while still being in close proximity to 鈥渆ndless hiking trails and lakes.鈥 King鈥檚 is a fairly small school 鈥渟o it is easy to make friends the first few days,鈥 and most days are filled with 鈥済oing to get food with friends, work, classes, homework, and then extra activities.鈥 鈥淲eekend activities are slim to none,鈥 so students usually just visit friends. 鈥淚t can get boring at times on campus so we go off campus to find stuff to do,鈥 admits a student. Typically after class, most people 鈥渉ave either practice or work, then dinner, then a good amount of students will spend time studying/doing homework for the remainder of the night.鈥
