At Ursinus, learning is infectious. Everyone is so knowledgeable, and so eager to teach and pass along information to others. Being a liberal arts school, you get to learn so many things that you might not be exposed to at traditional four year schools.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Ursinus is not only a great environment for learning, it's also a great environment for living. Being such a small school, the campus feels more like a neighborhood than a network of buildings. There is always something going on on campus, whether it be a free concert or comic show, to a special exhibition in our art museum, entertainment is easy to find. Also, the campus is about 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia, with public transportation available via SEPTA busses and trains.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Ursinus is definitely expensive- which is something that shouldn't be overlooked when choosing a school. However, Ursinus was recently ranked in the top 10 schools for graduate salary vs. price of degree by SmartMoney Magazine. Also, being a private school, they have a large endowment fund, and aid very well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply! My SAT scores slightly lower than the range of their averages, but I took a chance and I got accepted. They really look at a student from all angles, not just your GPA and class rank.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I chose Ursinus because I didn't want to feel like a number. Students who enjoy being in smaller classes, and communicating directly with professors and other students will thrive at Ursinus. It is really a community of intellectuals, so students who enjoy learning and experiencing new things should definitely consider applying.
