Widener University Reviews
Academically a majority of students and myself do not find themselves fulfilled in what they are learning. I have had some excellent and kind professors, but the rest seem to not care much about student success even when they see full effort being put in.
The school has many helpful student resources that I have utilized. My academic advisor has helped me a lot in changing majors, and I have utilized the school's therapy program and it made my spring 2022 semester a little less stressful.
