Review of Holy Family University

from Philadelphia, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

I have made friends from Canada, New York, Rhode Island and from my home State Pennsylvania. I love it I don't want to go home. When we close for Breaks. We have so much fun.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Going away to College seems scary but go to College with an open mind. Get Involved, attend Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer Games. We have so much attending Games. I have made friends because I got involved, Holy Family also cares about You. There is help for your classes if you need help. They always have things for you to do. It is a small school and that is what makes it so GREAT. Everyone knows each other and the Professors do care if You Don't attend Class. Being a small university I believe is the reason why everyone knows each other.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The marking is a lot harder than other universities. They have tough classes but there is help if you need it. I was on Second Track in High School and I was afraid to attend Holy Family because of their Grading System. But I am doing well I have a 3.3 GPA. At Holy Family you must take your finals even if you a 4.0 GPA, Where as the State Colleges in PA if you have a 3.5 or higher you do not have to take your Finals. I feel this is preparing me for the Real World by making me take my Finals no matter what my GPA is.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is AWESOME. They always have things for you to do. The Washers and Dryers are FREE. The Security is Strong you have Security Guards at the Front Door and MUST have your ID to get in the Dorms. I Feel Very SAFE. Being Safe is Very Important in any City.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

They have good food. The Dining Area is always Clean. They have different foods and you can request foods and they will listen to your requests.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The City of Philadelphia is full of a lot of things to do. If you attend the sporting events they are always fun. They have a lot of different activities for everyone. They have trips. And of course there are always different Parties going on with

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Holy Family is great for students who don't want to attend a Large University where there are sometimes 300 students in a class. HFU has smaller classes.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are a lot of Activities and Clubs at HFU. You just have to find the one that is right for you.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Safey is good. They always have Security Guards Visible. You can not get in to a Dorm Building if you do not have a pass. You must sign in at the desk with ID if you are a Visitor.
