Current Resident: It is a nice town. It is the town my college is located in so it's a very convenient location for me. It does not have too many fun activities to do but there's a few nearby restaurants and attractions that are worth visiting. I am 45 minutes away from Hershey Park, 45 minutes away from Hagerstown MD Outlets, an hour away from Washington DC, 3 hours from New York City, 4 hours from numerous beaches. I guess it's not so bad living in a small town in Pennsylvania when you can travel quickly to many amazing places. I live near many farms and wooded area and I love living in the country. Something unique about the area of PA that I come from - there are many Amish and Mennonite folks that live on my street and own a lot of local farms. I live in a very diverse yet small area that is only growing.... Read 33 reviews

Parent: There are so many aspects of Bullis that we love and it is hard to fit them all in one review! We have 3 children at the school who are very different learners, different personalities and different interests. Yet each is thriving at Bullis and the teachers meet each of their needs. We love that school is joyful and fun. Our kids WANT to go to school and have fun learning. They get a great balance of academics, arts, athletics, STEM, etc. It is a nice community of parents and friends who watch out for each other and help each other. And there is a strong value to diversity in race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, style of learning, etc. It is a very special place!... Read 131 reviews

Current Resident: Greencastle PA is a small close knit community that prides itself on the education and fostering of youth. The biggest strength Greencastle posses is its sense of community and family. Many of the events that Greencastle holds are traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Greencastle is the definition of a family town. Many people who leave Greencastle to attend college often return to start their own families. It’s a place where no matter where you are you can always find somebody you know.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: Waynesboro is a cute small town with a lot of small businesses that support each other. We have a large high school that was newly renovated a few years back. We get some snow in this area during the winter but not a lot. I like Waynesboro because it is a close knit community. We have a community pool and activities in our town square. We also do a Christmas tree lighting every Christmas. We are growing though as well know chains make their way to Waynesboro. One thing I would like the change about Waynesboro is the fact that we don't have a local homeless shelter here. We don't have many homeless people in this area, but there is some and I would like to see a shelter be funded and made to even further help protect and support our community.... Read 33 reviews

Current Resident: I really love living in St. Thomas township. I have lived in multiple different homes in this area over the years and the environment was always very good. Most houses have decent space in between so you have some privacy, but can also be near your neighbors if that's what you prefer. The one thing I wish was different is the diversity. There isn't much diversity and is a predominantly republican area, but this is to be expected when living in a rural area. Overall, I really like living in St. Thomas and would recommend it to others.... Read 32 reviews

Nearby Resident: I live near Fannett Township, and am very connected there. My dad drives a bus for Fannett - Metal Highschool, and I have played several sports there as a registered homeschooler. Most of my friends live there, and they say that the nightlife is good. Now, like any other town, we have our crazies, but they are know locally, so no one is really concerned. Crime life is nonexistent, due to the fact that it is such a small community. We "valley-dwellers" joke about what we would do in a national crisis. The general understanding is that we would blow shut the interstate tunnels that come into the valley, and set guards at all of the mountain passes. We have an old tank for one of the World Wars in a cemetery, and that could be refurnished back to use. So all ya'll that would enter uninvited, beware!! LOL I have had two jobs in Fannett Township, one as a cashier, and one as a shepherd. So there is variety here.... Read 3 reviews

Current Resident: Mercersburg is a small town and no one really likes it. However, for me I call Mercersburg home. People don't like the run down buildings and the old streets, but that's what gives the town character. There isn't a lot to do, so you have to find people to have fun with. It's not about the things you do, but the people you do them with. Overall, I enjoy living in Merecersburg because it is my home.... Read 14 reviews

Alum: The best thing about Villa is the environment of its classrooms. Villa girls are encouraged to speak their minds and are expected to do so without fear of 'being wrong' or 'sounding stupid.' Villa girls become truly comfortable asking questions, sharing opinions, or even contesting the teacher; nor do they fear judgement from classmates when speaking their minds. Encouraging young women to feel comfortable in a classroom facilitates high performance in college and in the work force. Villa's dedication to encouraging young women to confidently articulate themselves in the classroom sets their graduates up for real success - I am truly grateful for this formative experience. The big drawbacks: some admin. individuals were difficult to deal with and enforced rules to a very intense degree - which fostered a culture more focused on fear of punishment than growth and self-discovery. The diversity at Villa needs to be improved - there was one person of color in my graduation class.... Read 87 reviews
