Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My main tip to students is to get involved. I attended the first club fair and joined multiple clubs. I also got a work study position in the Student Activities Office. My involvement helped me to gain relationships with many faculty members and meet more students similar to me.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There are some difficult classes and some easier classes. If you do your homework, attend class and study you will have no problem passing the class. Professors can see if a student is really applying themselves or not and will help you out the best they can if they see a good attempt.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
THe freshman form building is anything special. The rooms are small and there isn't any air conditioning. If i could pick any dorm building I would go right back to the freshman dorm. Even though the rooms weren't that great, the building had a community feel, everyone would leave their doors open and everyone became very close.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
You will never leave the cafeteria hungry! They have a section of entrees, pizza, salad bar, stir fry station and a sub station. The food is delicious!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are always activities on campus hosted by the Student Activities Office. They also offer a ticketing program that you can buy movie tickets for $3, art museum tickets, and tickets for different places in the city. Philadelphia is just a train ride away and many students spend their weekends exploring all that the beautiful city has to offer.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Chestnut Hill is an expensive school but it's worth the money with all that it has to offer and how well the student and professor relationships are.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is always driving around or walking through campus. It's a small school so soon enough security gets to know each new class. This helps security keep hold of every situation and keep students safe and know when things are not right.
