Senior: I LOVE Temple University! Most of my professors have been nice, fair, knowledgeable and even passionate about what they teach. Temple has a gym on campus, which offers group fitness classes including yoga, cycling, and meditation, included in tuition fees. The healthcare I received on campus has always been stellar. The Disability Resource Services offered have been stellar, and the 24-hour TECH Center is a pleasure to spend days in while studying and working on projects. Temple has an app now where you can request a chaperoned walk home in person or virtually, as well as a nightly shuttle that circulates around the edges of campus for those in off-campus housing. Our Marching Band was one of my favorite extra curriculars offering an annual stipend when you join and you get to perform synchronized dances to pop songs at home games on Philly Eagles turf at the LINC. Temple has a strong community feel that makes you want to wear Temple gear and represent no matter your niche. GO OWLS!... Read 5,780 reviews

Graduate Student: Drexel University has some awesome program directors who are committed to your success and will help you navigate their system by providing warm -handoffs to other departments if they cannot answer your questions directly. They have the student in mind, and provide tuition discounts with partnering organizations you are employed with. They have a great reputation for success and I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my goal of becoming a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, and address the issue of maternal mortality in the U.S., and to be a Drexel University Dragon!...

Freshman: I absolutely love Jefferson! I love how motivating and nice the professors are. The faculty is always there to help when you're confused, and the resources provided to students are amazing. But I think the best part of Jefferson is the community. The people here are so nice and welcoming, it feels like you always have someone to talk to or something to do when you're bored. The campus is also beautiful, especially in the fall!... Read 1,078 reviews

Senior: My Widener University experience has been everything but bland. The opportunities are endless, from research trips, to campus jobs, access to experiences in my field, celebrating homecoming, or cheering on our basketball team as they became 2023 MAC Commonwealth Champions this year. As an involved student, with a Physics, Secondary Education major, and a Mathematics minor, Widener made it easy for me to have success both inside and outside of the classroom. I have had opportunities in the field such as substitute teaching in a local school district, and I was able to take a research trip to another state and collaborate with other students through astronomy research. Outside of school, I have the opportunity to work on campus as an ambassador, participate in community service, and meet some of my best friends who I attend sporting events, bingo, or other activities around campus with! I appreciates Widener's dedication to academics as well as other enriching college experiences.... Read 812 reviews

Freshman: CCP is a public college located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a small institution with an enrollment of 4,760 undergraduate students. The CCP acceptance rate is 100%. Popular majors include Liberal Arts and Humanities, Business, and Health Service Preparatory Studies. Graduating 18% of students, CCP alumni go on to earn a starting salary of $25,700. Student-Teacher ratio are always reasonable. Not too little, and not too much. Just enough for me as a sole student to have a conversation with each other, peer understanding, share knowledge and to make friends! Everyone who works here are all accommodating, they even will go beyond to help you. Tutors are the best as well! The school offers a lot of resources and opportunities to help students get by - be that academically, food-wise, community services, and even filing our taxes! Don't forget that the professors are awesome! The students were very diverse and came from different racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.... Read 1,042 reviews

Alum: This community college is wonderful. I previously attended there and graduated and now I'm back for another degree. It's a clean, simple campus with an easy layout. The professors are wonderfully qualified and all of the staff were so kind. With admissions, the process is always streamlined. They make every process from registration to financial aid very easy to understand. I would like for them to clean the bathrooms and lunchrooms more frequently, but all the college facilities from the library to the theatre are all well kept. The education is top notch at the cheapest prices! No one can beat $99.00 per credit for any educational institution. I've had a great experience from beginning to end at this college. I'm happy to be back again!... Read 569 reviews

Sophomore: The professors are great and really want to see their students succeed. My advisor now is awesome. However, I had a horrible experience with my first advisor that suggested I take remedial classes in math even though I scored very well on my Accuplacer test. Make sure you advocate for yourself and if you're not pleased with the way you're treated, make sure you make that known through the proper channels. The workers in the financial aid office are very well informed and the workers in the business office are very kind. The librarian is amazing and will help you in any way she can. There are resources to help you study and get extra help if needed. The campus is beautiful, and the staff is amazing.... Read 418 reviews

Graduate Student: Overall, I enjoyed my time at Bucks County Community College. I started as an engineering major, which ended up being a mistake. The prerequisites are very tedious and redundant and most of the STEM teachers are not good at their job. They were all great people but just did not know how to teach students. Once I changed my major to Film Production, I had a much better experience with much better teachers. I think the biggest thing I think should be done differently is allowing students more freedom in classes and how/when they take them. The best part was how friendly all of the staff were....

Sophomore: Many students appreciate the supportive and dedicated faculty at Delaware County Community College. They often highlight the personalized attention and guidance they receive, which contributes to their positive learning experience. The college's commitment to affordability and accessibility also resonates well with students. One area where some students would like to see improvement is the availability of resources and facilities. Expanding library resources, updating technology infrastructure, and creating more collaborative spaces could enhance the overall learning environment. Additionally, fostering a stronger sense of community and student engagement through clubs, events, and extracurricular activities could contribute to a more vibrant campus life. Overall, while Delaware County Community College has several positive aspects, focusing on infrastructure, community building, and career-oriented support can further enhance the student experience....

Sophomore: Arcadia provides pathways and networks for students to advance their career, alongside many opportunities to be flexible with career paths. There is also a nice campus life and student body, where events are semi frequent and being social is incentivized. Many members of the faculty care for the students and what they are going through, with that said there is some solidarity across campus--between student, teacher and such. Provided that the students know the teacher well enough, which is often the case due to the manner of the school. Though I feel there should be more amenities to student health, such as easier access to filtered water rather than tap.... Read 1,286 reviews

Senior: Reflecting on my college career, the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff sticks out to me. When picking a college, I knew I wanted a small, tight knit community that would allow me to grow. The small class sizes, an average of 14:1 student to teach ratio, allowed for me to get the one-on-one attention I needed. Every professor was invested in my journey to success. With that said, I feel the staff and faculties abilities are cut short due to lack of resources. For example, as a student interested in research, it was difficult for me to participate because of the lack of funding from the university. Apart from academic Neumann has a lively campus where you can mold your college experience. Being a small university, the student's have more opportunities to join existing clubs or create their own. I find the opportunity to easily create your own club, organization or team improves the students overall happiness. In addition, the campus provides ample employment opportunities to student...

Junior: I have never had an experience in a school like I have when I got to college. I debated on what college I would attend but when the decision day had finally come around I knew I made the right choice to attend chestnut hill college. it is one of the safest, cleanest, nicest environments with great educators and staff. I would not have attended another school because I fit right in at chestnut hill college. It did not take long to connect with people. The curriculum is not horrible and everything makes since why certain classes are put into the curriculum or into a schedule for students because its what the state and the school require. I also like their department for learning disabilities, they have been so helpful since before I started attending the college. they make the college experience go smoothly. as a test taker who has anxiety and has always struggled with learning disabilities they help make things less complicated....

Sophomore: Great atmosphere, and kind professors/staff who genuinely care about your career and future decisions. In my last two years of attending this college, it was a very pleasant experience! This college is also very affordable compared to various colleges and universities in the surrounding area. If you are looking for a solid education; Manor may be the place for you! This college is also a great environment for those interested in a smaller class setting without too many students in each specific class.... Read 159 reviews
