Set in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, this “small, close-knit college community” offers “an exceptional academic record” and “small-school atmosphere,” which “provides accessibility to professors and successful students, enabling a better learning experience.” This is “a campus filled with motivated students and professors who worked toward every student’s success.” “Academic integrity” is “high,” “yet fostering leadership, community and personal growth [is] also extremely prided.” The “greatest strengths” of Ursinus’s program “are probably the focus on community service, the strength of the academic programs, and programs such as CIE (common intellectual experience, an entire class [where the focus is on] the whole campus reading and discussing the same books or movies.” Ursinus is also known for its “strong biology and science program,” which “allow students to maintain strong connections in other fields, from art to education.” Classes “are small,” and professors “are accessible and have extensive knowledge in their fields.” The academic bar here is high. Professors expect “students to be engaged.” They “tend to be very attentive to your performance in class and are available to help if you need it.” While “[professors] expect a lot from you, and it is challenging,” the workload is “very doable because of the relationships with professors and students.” Overall, this small, rigorous program is “about creating free-thinking, intelligent, [and] contributing members of society” and “letting people be who they are without fear and while accomplishing learning beyond the classroom.”
Ursinus tend to balance their “very studious” academic aspirations “with an active and healthy extracurricular lifestyle.” They’re “outgoing to others [and] involved in campus and in the society.” “Many students are athletes,” and “About 20 percent of the campus is affiliated with a Greek organization.” In a sentence, “Ursinus students are overachievers.”While “the town [of Collegeville] is small, they are expanding and building upon it. Philadelphia is close as is King of Prussia, Phoenixville, Skippack, and Limerick so students have places to go off campus and have fun.” “Most students stay on weekends and either attend a campus event or hang out with friends.”
