Here's a piece of advice, if you have a choice to go to another school, go there. AVOID Ursinus like the plague. If you want to spend 40+ thousand dollars a year to drink natty, go to Ursinus. If you want to get a late night hook up, go to Ursinus. If you want to live in a town that is an overpriced dump with a volunteer fire department with a loud air raid horn, go to Ursinus. If you want to go to a school with reject Harvard teachers who want to teach at Harvard, go to Ursinus. If you want teachers who have no understanding of the outside world, go to Ursinus. If you want to go to a school to watch field hockey, go to Ursinus. If you want to see scary Orville Redenbacher impersonators, go to Ursinus. If you want to go to a school with a bunch of people who don't take there education seriously and who are closed minded, go to Ursinus. If you want to get an education go somewhere else. And lastly if you don't believe my review go to REIMERT HALL on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday morning or any morning and look at the courtyard- don't worry you don't need a card or anything to see it.

Run. Please. If you have any hope of maintaining your sanity, do not come to Ursinus. I'm a Resident Advisor and I can say from person experience that this school is terrible. Yes, the professors are good. Everything else is terrible. High Sexual Assault rates, High alcohol abuse rates, High Drug Use, Low Student Moral. Only 1-2 60 year old+ Campus Safety officers watch over the entire student body. Tour guides and student "models" are provided with preppy clothing and paid to lie about their successes. There is nothing to do in the surrounding community. There is no easy access to Philadelphia. (It takes about 2-3 hours to get to Center City. You have to take 3 buses and a commuter train.) RUN. Please. DON'T COME HERE.

I had a great experience at Ursinus. I was a Psychology major. The Psychology professors were full of knowledge and almost always available. I had a lot of fun outside of the classroom as well as in the classroom. My overall experience was great.

A few negatives...
The surrounding "city" - Collegeville is extremely boring. Not many students take the trip to Philly (at least 45 minutes away). I was usually busy enough with academics and extracurriculars to care about that.

Some psychology classes were not as challenging as I would have liked. I got most of my challenging classes from supplemental classes such as Neuroscience courses.If you want a small, liberal arts school with friendly professors and students Ursinus is the right school.
