Ursinus is a great school filled with some of the nicest people I've ever met. The fact that it is a small school makes it easier for it to feel like home. The campus is beautiful and the people are inspiring.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Small class sizes give you better opportunities to connect with professors. Definitely get to know them! Also, get involved, you'll make some great friends!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Professors definitely push your limits a little bit but they're always there if you need help. Their expectations aren't completely ridiculous, especially not the first year.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
So much fun. Friends are always around.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Average. I wish it was open later. Meal credits at Lower Wismer should be worth more.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hang out with friends, walk to Wawa right down the street, the notorious 'Wismer Hang' where we stay in the dining hall for as long as possible. Ursinus is what you make of it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Ursinus seems expensive but they give out a lot of financial aid.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are so many unusual traditions and locations on campus. If you come for a tour I'm sure your tour guide will have a few stories. We have a fountain on campus that the seniors slide down naked the night before graduation.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hard working, fun-loving, determined.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Check the website! It's honestly ridiculous how many clubs and organizations there are on campus. Don't be afraid to get involved either. Everyone is very friendly. Fighting for Ophelia is the best ;)
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is definitely known on campus. They do a lot of fundraisers and activities within the community, but you do not have to join greek life to have fun.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I always feel safe on campus. Campus safety officers are always walking around. Pete is awesome.
