I am an Animation major just so you know!!

Things you NEED to know about PhilaU:

The main majors are Architecture, Fashion Design/FIM, and Integrative Design

This is a DESIGN school, NOT an ART school

The science programs at PhilaU are WEAK

This is NOT a party school

This is mainly a commuter school[Most students go home on the weekend, I'd say about 35-45%]

The campus is gorgeous

The city is accessible and really fun, make sure you explore!

PhilaU IS near the city, crimes are bound to happen.

Be city smart, please

PhilaU is a clean, well kept campus. VERY pretty in the spring and fall. But keep in mind the winter is early/long. The gorgeous campus you see on your tour is NOT year-round. (Although it is still pretty all year)

The food gets old but use your meal swipes!!

You don't get notifications about packages/mail. Check regularly

The Animation majors are not very passionate.. If you're coming here for Animation, look elsewhere. This school will not challenge your creative abilities.(At least not your first year)

I'd say the quality of education is average(depends on the teacher) but the price you're paying for it is more than what it is worth.
