If you had to define the words Liberal Arts by showing a college, this would be it. There is the opportunity to do everything and anything here, and there is the opportunity to do it well. I would recommend it to people who are invested in their own education.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Bring Rain Boots
If you're planning on being a science major, start with chemistry and biology right away.
Get in contact with professors if you're interested! They can give you a better idea of what their department has.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Almost everyone is a double major, joint major, earning a minor, doing pre-med and something else, studying abroad, or graduating early. Everyone takes a lot of classes, and learning and homework take up an almost ridiculous amount of time. However, I have learned so much by being forced to know the material before class, and then broadening my understanding through discussion. Its a lot of work, and it is totally worth it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
We have a house system- Its kind of like Hogwarts. There are benefits to all the houses, and some unfortunate things as well. For example, Brooks house has very small dorm rooms. We also have the best events, and house community of the rest of the houses. New has a beautiful space, but they have to walk further to get to dining services. Its all give and take, but there really are no losers when it comes to housing.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We have the dining hall, which has Kosher food, pasta, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and a salad bar all the time. For breakfast, we have a grill which will make you any kind of pancake, french toast, or omelet you could think of. At night, in transitions to our mongolian barbecue. Theres also home style cooking and vegetarian and gluten free options. We also have a pizza place, 2 sandwich places, a mexican grill, and a cafe on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something going on. If you are a partier, welcome to college. If not, F&M Options has activities about every other weekend. There are also a ton of concerts, performances, and club activities that everyone is invited to. We are also very close to downtown Lancaster, which provides an urban night life for those who desire it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Have you looked at the list of clubs? Do you not see something you want to see? Start it up! We're starting a tap club and a parody newspaper this semester. With so many organizations, it is super easy to get involved and make friends.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our public safety officers are fantastic. They really care about us. They are always around looking to help people. Not to say if you're making bad decisions they won't bust you, but that is not their main priority. They just want to make sure we're safe.
