<p>Kind of random but I need help finding the name of a specific university. All I know is that it is just outside or possibly on the outskirts of Philly and used to be a college but is now a university. Its also a small private university that offers a nursing program. Any idea which school it is?</p>
<p>Did you try googling? Offhand, I can name Holy Family, Neumann, Widener, Eastern, West Chester, Gwynedd-Mercy, Villanova, La Salle, St. Joseph’s. Others that have been universities for quite a while (and not small) are UPenn, Drexel, Temple, Thomas Jefferson.</p>
<p>Sounds like LaSalle. Used to be LaSalle College, now is LaSalle University. Nursing is one of its biggest majors. It’s in the Philadelphia area north of Rt 1.</p>
<p>nice town to choose to have this problem. Philly has more schools of higher ed than most any town in America. and that includes you, Beantowners, methinks. that’s a heck of a list, kidncatz. One more school to add: Immaculata University.</p>
<p>York perhaps? Well-known for nursing.</p>
<p>^Except that York is 1 3/4 to 2 hours from Philly and is currently a college (formerly a junior college).</p>
<p>Arcadia University in Glenside? (used to be Beaver College). I don’t know if has a nursing program but it has health sciences and a very respected Physician Assistant program.</p>
<p>geez, in the West, an hour-and-a-half drive IS “just outside the city”–but that’s not the way we easterners think. Had friends who used to drive 3.5 hours each way for a sunday visit to family. Of course, the scenery was better than what you’d find stuck in traffic on the NJTP.</p>
<p>hey I appreciate the responses so ive narrowed it down to Thomas Jefferson, La Salle, Immaculata University, St. Josephs.</p>
<p>All of these are small private universities just outside Philly that offer nursing programs and were once colleges. Any others to the list?</p>
<p>First place I thought of was Arcadia.</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson and La Salle are in the city.</p>
