Close student-professor interactions, great sciences departments, terrible social scene and non-science resources.
Pros
Close interaction between students and professors. Fairly close to Philadelphia ( but you must have a car because public transportation is unrealistic) . Close to major Pfizer and GSK facilities. Excellent Career Services Department. Athletic Student Body and great athletic facilities. Students that universally value academic performance. Open-minded and politically diverse (majority is liberal) student body and faculty
Cons
Not much happening in Collegeville. Terrible Social Scene. Obvious divide between social (Greek and Athletic) and non-social students (be prepared to see the same faces every weekend). Very high tuition that appears to be mismanaged as the school never seems to have enough money for improvements (management frequently cites financial constraints as the reason for not improving the campus and relevant programs) No School Spirit and low athletic event attendance. Obvious divide between national (only 3 national organizations) and local Greek organizations Not much cultural or socioeconomic diversity.
