Arcadia University

Date: Jan 11 2010
Major: English (This Major's Salary over time)
Maybe I should be more specific. I am an English Literature major-but for some reason they did not put that on my account. Instead, I was given this uptight registration adviser that only took two of the classes that I needed to graduate, then gave me two completely different classes that was not going to my major at all. On top of that I was given a condescending professor who thought I was doing nothing but slacking when in actuality I was coming in and out of the hospital with a near-fatal illness and I was still doing the work. The staff here is completely unhelpful, the advice-assuming that you're able to even catch the professors and advisers-is completely useless, and the safety staff is a joke. I've been threatened, nearly raped and nearly killed on campus. I would've been a lot safer in the projects. And the classes I did pass were even worth the $42 thousand tuition-on one semester! The scholarship they gave me didn't even cover the room and board! No wonder this school isn't even in the List of Best Colleges in America. It's not even mentioned in any college catalog I've looked over. Matter of fact, I never even heard of it until I came to Philadelphia. Arcadia University is just another one of those private colleges that will allow people in for hopes of one day being recognized as one of the top ten best colleges in the state, but will drop off anyone that doesn't fit their "elite criteria" while refusing to give refunds in an attempt to both look good in their up-tight society and still keep their money. DO NOT COME TO ARCADIA! IT WILL ONLY DESTROY YOUR LIFE!
