I fell in love with this college the first time I visited! I love that the school is small! Everyone was very helpful and friendly to me during my transition to college from high school! The school has a lot of wonderful performances and events throughout the year! And the campus looks beautiful in the spring!! The campus always looks at it's best!

I love Albright College! Over the past four years, I feel like I grew so much as a person. I have my wonderful professors to thank for that. I have much more confidence in myself. Albright feels like my second home. I feel comfortable here, and the campus is gorgeous especially in the spring. The career center is extraordinary!
Overall 4.1
It is a small campus! I love that it is small, but the school allows more and more students in each year. Too many students on a small campus is not always a good idea. The students and professors are very nice and feel like family to me!

avoid this school so you don't have to destroy your college life. they will give you a lot of money ( they gave me 100,000$ for 4 years) but this is their way of getting people.

Don’t come here.

This place is not for everyone that is for sure. If you do not play a sport or plan to be in greek life it is not worth going here. It is very cliquey between sports and greek life. Also, it is in a pretty awful location, there is absolutely nothing fun to do in Reading.

terrible campus and school all around

Legends is the only bright spot of Albright College

There are very few things this school actually has done well: Public safety is awesome, the choirs and music program are wonderful. Unfortunately, the students are very immature and "cliquey" and act like they are in high school. I think a lot of it comes from that whole "i'm cool bc I go to a rich kid school" It didnt take me long to want to leave

Albright College will put up plenty of colorful banners to make you think it is doing well, but the school is failing. In the past 4 years, I have seen multiple teachers quit. The Video Game Design teacher left this year with NO notice, so now my major is non-existent. I don't even know why I go here anymore? Please save yourself - don't come here.
Overall 1.6
Awful place. Administration is no help whatsoever, and public safety does not take students' concerns seriously at all. The people that attend are unmotivated and seemingly incapable of hard work. Fin-aid is a mess. The one saving grace is that the professors here are above average. Also, housing is a mess, communal bathrooms seldom get cleaned.
Overall 1.7
The food is THE worst! Everyone around here drags their feet. It's not worth it at all.
