I attended Chatham as an adult continuing ed student. The classes are rigorous and the professors invested in the students success. The campus is a beautiful, peaceful, secluded section of a vibrant city. For those who crave the occasional night-life, your student ID will get you a bus ride to downtown Pittsburgh or Oakland (where Pitt and CMU, and several other student bodies make up most of the population).
The food is delicious, with vegan, vegetarian, international cuisine, and farm to table products of the Eden Hall campus and other local farmers.
You can also get a delicious burger and fries, if you are determined to eat junkfood.
There were opportunities for international travel, networking, career councilling, tutoring, work study, internships with leading companies, and fun field trips.

I am an incoming freshman at the school, and my experience so far there has been excellent! The campus is beautiful and woodsy yet is situated in the heart of Pittsburgh, so it makes it very easily to find good jobs and internships for whatever major you choose! Some of the staff is very helpful, especially with all my credits coming in. Go Cougars!
Athletics are there for students who want them, but don't expect to be super competitive in most sports (there are exceptions). It's the smallest school in its region and that is clear in many of the sports records.
For men, all your programs are brand new and not well established yet because of its recent change to coed. The school is trying to attract male students by pushing men's sports so they have a positive attitude about them in admissions. Many of the students are skeptical of this marketing strategy considering that the mission of the school was primarily to support women's education just one year ago and now they seem to be changing gears. You decide!
