<p>I have visited this school. It seems like a really nice school. The campus is beautiful, great scenery. It's a small school, in the Philly suburbs. Seems safe in a nice area. Only 10 minutes from the city. Buses and trains are availabe. People and adminstration were friendly. The dorms were nice. Parking was availabe. It's Division 2 so they have some sports. I didn't get to see the cafe. But I heard the food was alright. It's geographically diverse. </p>
<p>As a design major, I checked out the studios. They were big and yes students were hard at work in them. (this was a friday afternoon by the way).
I think they have excellent programs in design and architecture. they have almost every design major. The also have sciences, health, business, and an engineering program. </p>
<p>They have some merit scholarships. </p>
<p>Cons - They have a freshmen return rate somewhere around 70%. Some people might not like the small size. Or if they want to change a major, they might have to transfer because the school does not have many majors. Also, i think that it might be a commuter school. when i visited, the campus was empty on that friday. i was told most people go home on the weekends, so i'm not sure how the campus life is. i have to check up on that. and the price. about 35k. other than that, it seems like a good school.</p>
<p>If it sounds nice to you, I think you should consider this school.
[Small school. Close access to city. But it suburban campus with plenty of trees. (great academics in the design esp.) Friendly. ]
It's like a hidden jewel. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.</p>
