“I love PFW’s city‑adjacent campus, how many clubs and events in the Walb Student Union make it easy to find friends, and the way professors actually remember you, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the graduation‑rate reality, some dated housing, and the fact that Fort Wayne feels quieter than it looks on the website were all things that hit harder once I was living there every day.”
