Ursinus College has an excellent Pre-Medicine and Biology department, with extremely helpful advisors. Class sizes are very small, so there is plenty of one-on-one help from professors. Furthermore, most professors practically live on campus, so office hours are always available. If your schedule does not fit their office hours, they are always more than happy to schedule a meeting with you outside of their hours!
While students are pretty accepting of commuter students, the school doesn't even try to advertise that students can commute here. Commuters also don’t anything to help them meet people outside of classes. Many professors are understanding of bad weather but there are also many that still expect you to drive to campus and show up to class in unsafe driving conditions.
I also choose Ursinus because they advertise a great study abroad program, and the college is incredibly encouraging of study abroad. I learned that I would most likely have to pay room and board for the time that I was studying abroad. While they help students get scholarships if they need them, students won't know if they've received scholarships to study abroad until after they've submitted their applications for the program, which makes it difficult for low-income students to plan to be able to study abroad when they don't know if they'll get scholarships so that they can afford to.

At Ursinus College, I was able to make friends and connections very easily. The professors are personable and always know your name after just a few classes. The classes are small so it is easy to participate and ask questions. The coaches of all sports teams make sure that students are putting their academics first.
I am able to continue most of my extracurriculars from high school here and still have enough time to get all my homework done. The campus is beautiful and just down the street are restaurants and grocery stores. The Student Activities Office always has fun and cheap activities planned for students to mingle or to get off campus for a day trip on the weekends.
