Though small in overall size, Arcadia University was great about helping me expand my horizons. Their reknown study abroad program in particular made my four years there worth it, as I was given the extraordinary opportunity to study abroad for a year at Oxford University. That year was worth perhaps all my others combined, simply in how self-motivating and rigorous the coursework was. Arcadia tended to hold your hand a bit more, which I didn't really understand until returning after my time at Oxford,...

My experience at Arcadia was an interesting one. I started as a Biology major, and I switched to the department of sociology. Turning to the sociology department was the best decision. I realized that as a physician, I would cure the illness of the patient and send then back to the situation that made them sick in the first place. I want to address what is causing my clients not to live a fulling life. My experience suddenly impacted my education, and I was more invested. I knew I wanted to become... Read More a social worker. With the help of the Sociology Department and the Gateway to Sucess Program, I came to enjoy my time at this institution. Before then, I felt alienated as a student of color. The school has since hired a new president who is doing an excellent job in addressing some of the issues I face while attending.

Arcadia is a fantastic school: the culture of the school is welcoming and close-knit, the academics are great, the food is decent, and the study abroad options are beyond compare. The biology department is wonderful as well, the professors are all there for their students and not to solely do research. There is a very personal feel to the small class sizes (20-70 students, around 30 normally) and the professors have an open-door policy which make them readily accessible. The program also allows for... Read More personalized upper-level courses such as immunobiology, pathophysiology, ecology, histology and many more which is nice if you want to explore topics or focus on your passion. The biggest draw-back to the program for someone who is going into a medical field is that all of the required topics do not directly focus solely on human biology. So in order to get human biology specific courses you need to do so with the electives. The biology program also has ties with other universities around the world so you can take classes that go towards your degree while studying abroad. All in all Arcadia's biology program and campus in general comes highly recommended.

Arcadia is a good university if a student wants to travel abroad. The MBA program includes one trip per year. In my cohort I met some wonderful people. I started a business with my classmate, spoke in detail with the Director and several professors about the company and they have allowed us to take over 20 days off from class to travel and start up our company. The classroom instruction is helpful and many teachers encourage the student to learn the material before proper instructions are given....

As a psychology major, I was able to conduct four independent research projects over two years and an intensive literature review as apart of my senior thesis. As a graduate student, the research experience given to me by Arcadia has been invaluable. I never had a bad experience with any of the professors in the psychology department and found them all to be open and approachable. In addition to the positive experience I had in my department, I also had the incredible opportunity to study abroad...

In regards to my education, I was incredibly satisfied with my education at Arcadia. Small class sizes and professors who care make all the difference. I was so lucky to create strong relationships with my professors and it was all because Arcadia facilitated it. I had an advisor who always cared, a class of just three students, and many trained professors who were able to help me do whatever I wanted to do. Arcadia gave me many professional opportunities. I was able to enter the Keystone State Preservice... Read More Educator of the year competition which I won, thanks to recommendations from my professors.

I would not be the educator or person I am today if it was not for Arcadia.
