At eastern I liked how our incoming class of 2026 brought more diversity to the school and certain staff memebers were invested into helping us succeed. What I didn’t like is teachers not being respectful and wanting respect but not showing respect.
Eastern University is a small, diverse, private Christian school with excellent professors who inspire and care for their students. However, Eastern could do with some renovation and clarity of direction from the upper-level staff. Eastern seems to be at a crossroads between choosing whether to focus on athletics or whether to focus on student life and academics. Recruitment efforts should be focused on students who are there to make the most out of their education, not those who are only there to play sports and party.
At eastern university I got the a quality education. The school isn’t that big so I was able to have a work play balance.
Eastern University is a great environment for the student-athlete. I am currently a member on the Women's Volleyball and Women's Track & Field teams, all while maintaining a 3.6+ GPA. I am also a member of the Exercise Science program at Eastern. The staff at Eastern are wonderful. Everyone at EU loves their job and wants the best for the students here. We are growing quickly and I would love to see more attention to residence life. We just added a football team and plan to grow the athletic department even more. With this, our school must prioritize the students residency. I want to see more efforts being put into the dorms: quality housing for everyone, not just those living in Eagle or Sparrowk (our best buildings). The dining plans also need to be adjusted here. With our growing number of student-athletes, there has not been enough emphasis on improving the nutritional value of our dining hall and expanding our meal plans to suit a student-athlete diet. Change is still needed.
I love the scenery and the community at this school. Since it is a smaller sized school, you tend to know of everyone here, however it is just big enough that you are able to keep your personal life to yourself and your friends. The biggest downside here is that the food is not as good as other schools. We have a dining commons with indoor and outdoor seating, but there are times that the food can be poorly cooked or moldy resulting in the students getting sick. Another downside is that mold in the dorm rooms are common, so if you plan on living on campus I would suggest investing in a dehumidifier for your room. If I could see anything change on campus, it would be the food and living, because frankly I believe that the money that I am spending on those two things is not currently worth it.
I'm a sophomore at Eastern University. I love our professors and the environment (the people and the nature around it).
Im a sophomore here at Eastern University and I have greatly enjoyed my time so far! The Diversity scene is great and was a huge reason why I decided to come here. The Campus is gorgeous, especially in the spring and it is such a great scene to look at while walking to class every day.
The best thing about Eastern is the professors! They are personable and incredibly caring. Academically they are tough but not without support from professionals, professors, and peers. The campus itself is so beautiful and in such a great location with close access to Philadelphia. Campus and residence life is such a great atmosphere with lots of opportunities to build community and get involved and there is always something to do on campus whether it's attend an event, go to a game, or join a club.
Eastern university is an amazing campus, it has a great community and there is so many great things to do off campus. the professors are great and I find them supper supportive and helpful. The student to teacher ratio is about 10:1 and so you can create personal relationships with your professors. The dining commons have many options and so you can always find something to eat. I think Eastern is the right fit and I think you will think the same if you decide to come to Eastern University.
Eastern University is a beautiful campus during all seasons and the university works so hard to keep it nice for its students. There are also a lot of intelligent and passionate students, staff, and professors who help build a sense of community on campus and shows the growth of the school academically and also for student life. The professors at Eastern are unique and genuinely care about the well-being of their students. In my experience at Eastern all of my professors have shown so much interest in myself and my studies which allows for a more interpersonal relationship. Our athletics teams on campus is one of my favorite, every team has so much fun during their seasons and there is always an event going on somewhere on campus. Overall, Eastern is an amazing place to study where you can receive a great education that prepares you for your future endeavors while being challenged to learn more about yourself and your faith while being able to grow from your experiences.
I graduated with my graduate degree from Eastern in 2011. I absolutely loved being a student there- the faculty and staff care deeply about the students and their educational journeys, supporting them every step of the way. I had a family emergency at one point during my program tenure and I was given more grace and support than I could have ever imagined.
Professors really care about you and the community was amazing! The small class sizes also made it very easy to connect with my classmates and the professor.
Eastern is a great community full of passionate and unique individuals! The small campus feels and the fantastic professors made my time here very enjoyable.
I've been a student at Eastern for 4 years and I have had a great experience. The professors that I had within my major were very attentive and knowledgeable. In regard to student life I made some really great friends and enjoyed living on campus and being a part of the community.
I thoroughly loved my undergraduate experience at Eastern University. I made some amazing lifelong friends, learned under some intentional professors and mentors who took the time to invest in me, and had so many experiential internship experiences that prepared me for life after college.
Great people, caring community, beautiful campus! Lots of programs, affordable, great location close to Philadelphia. Professors really care about students.
Eastern University is a fantastic institution because of the faith centered and knowledge-packed atmosphere. Professors at Eastern are unique people who care about the spirituality, performance, and well-being of their students. The institution offers fascinating class choices and radiates with neighborly love and artful features.
The food is cooked with care and there are a variety of choices to satiate every tongue. Campus housing could be improved aesthetically and industrially. However, the campus itself is set in the heart of nature. The athletics are popular and booming, especially with the addition of a new football team. The staff are kind and understanding, and the campus is quite safe most of the time. Most students are friendly and open-minded with good character.
Eastern University is overall a wonderful place to study, whether undergraduate, graduate, or doctor, and its diverse and faith grounded essence trumps any other place with a less authentic nature.
