Arcadia University is a school that I can say in all honesty is a neutral university, meaning it is not awesome but not bad, either. This is because AU's aesthetics, i.e. campus, facilities, etc, are incredible whereas the education is not as rewarding. The two differences balance one another out and therefore produce an "eh" university. (If you are not up to snuff with millennial terms, "eh" is used in a sentence to describe something that is merely satisfactory. Ex. Hey Jude, how is AU? -Eh… the school and campus are beautiful but it's not academically challenging.") All in all, if you want an awesome atmosphere with a beautiful campus and want to focus in the fields AU excels at, such as Art and PT, then by all means this is the perfect place for you. If, however, you are thinking of going into a business career then you might consider putting AU a little lower on your list of schools to apply to. There is nothing absolutely negative about the school - in fact because the campus is so cared for most of my friends find it motivating to study on campus in the library instead of at home - but some of the ways in which things are taught and/or are required is a little frustrating at times.
