Review of Ursinus College

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors are always there for students anytime the student needs help. It is important to the university that the students truly understand the material, instead of just squeezing by. All of the professors have a wide range of knowledge and allow that knowledge to rub off onto the students.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There are so many different things to do at Ursinus that I am never bored. Students have have the opportunity to attend parties or throw parties, watch movies in the many lounges, or attend the many different forms of entertainment that the school has provided. Entertainment ranges from magicians, to comedians, to speakers. The school hopes to not only educate students, but allow them to grow socially as well.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Though the school's price may seem very overwhelming at first glance, the Financial Aid department works hard with the students to lessen the burden of paying for school. Jobs are also very available on and off campus. The education provided with the lively social environment is truly worth the cost.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

In coming students should be sure to attend all events during Freshmen orientation. Be friendly and open to all student. You never who could become a great friend. Don't get stuck in your books throughout the school year. Be sure to have fun and take advantage of everything the school has to offer. While you might be homesick within the first few weeks, try not to go home unless it is necessary. Everyone makes lots of friends the first few weeks of school and you don't want to miss the opportunity.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who benefit from small classes and wish to build strong bonds with not only their professors but their advisers as well would love to attend this college. While the work load is a bit strenuous at times, students are never alone. Advisers, professors, librarians, and programs such as the Writing Center are always available for students when they need it. Ursinus College is for students who are serious about there education but also wish to have the opportunity to have a terrific social experience. Ursinus never forgets that the students are still young and enjoy having fun. Programs are in place to ensure that parties are safe, and for those who are still underage, that there is an alternative to drinking. If you like to have fun, but are serious about learning, this college is right for you!
