“I chose Peru State as my home for four years because the environment feels like home. Every professor truly cares about my success, building confidence when going into my future career. I love the support system that I have created during my time at Peru. I have built friendships and bonds that will last forever. Peru has been my home away from home, and I am so grateful for the people that share my experiences at Peru. I hope that within my remaining time that I get the opportunity to make others feel the way I do!“
“My experience has been everything I have wanted. I chose Peru State College because everyone I know spoke very highly of the School of Education. The great thing about Peru is that professors and staff make it easy to ask for help. This builds confidence in not only our academic choices but also for our future endeavors.”

“I came to Peru State College for so many reasons! The class sizes are small so my professors knew my name on day one, helping to form meaningful relationships with them and with other students in my classes. Additionally, Peru State is renowned for its education program. As a future music teacher, there is no better place to study as I believe both the music and education faculty here are the best in the state. The campus is beautiful and has so many things to do outside and in the surrounding region. These are just a few of the reasons why I love Peru State!”
