when i went to visit the school it was very beautiful and honestly took my breath away. Its a small school which means not alot of students are going to the school. the classes are very small which is a plus for anyone like me who is looking for more of a personal education and not just in a lecture hall with 200+ students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
with me not actually being a student yet I wouldnt have much advice other than to make sure this is the school for you. dont just apply because the chances of you getting in are higher than most schools. this school is not going to be for everyone which means you should really do your research and be sure you wish to apply.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are very small meaning the student to teacher ratio is a lot smaller than any other school. with the classes being to small this gives you more of an opportunity to get that one on one time with your teacher.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
being an incoming student the idea of moving all my stuff from my room to a much smaller room that I would share with someone else is quite frightening. after seeing the dorms at chestnut they really aren't that bad after a little getting use to the idea it didn't seem like such a bad thing after all!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I have not had a chance to try any of the food at chestnut but as i viewed the dining hall it all looked very good
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Chestnut Hill is very expensive and im finding myself searching high and low for scholarship after scholarship trying to get that price down to a much smaller size. with that being said chestnut did give me a very generous scholarship and i didn't need to fill out anything extra! i got the scholarship with my acceptance letter.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
One thing i thought was pretty cool is that looking at the school online reminding me a lot of harry potter! my friends even joked with me about how i was going to chestnut to secretly train to become a wizard! i have seen that they have a whole week devoted to harry potter which is very fitting to this beautiful campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
this school is going to be great for students who are looking to stay committed to their religion while getting a great education at the same time. there are not many school who have a church they can attend with a mass for students. its also great for students who love small classes and friendly environments. with most school i visited it can be very intimidating to be walking around a huge campus and seeing all the students. not a chestnut it was small and everyone was very friendly.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
even though there is no Greek life chestnut makes up for that in the amount of clubs and activities they provide ranging in many different directions. what is also great is that if there isn't a club or activity you thing fits you, you can create your own!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
no Greek life
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
while i was at chestnut i always felt safe. there was never a time where i felt my safety was a concern which is very important to me since im going away to a college that is out of my state!
