Cheyney is not the biggest campus or the newest but the professors and faculty here are so caring. The location is pretty good but SEPTA sucks so the buses don't run as often as I would like. The food is great 99% of the time it, the snack bar gets really old after aa while because its the same thng all the time. Cheyney is a great place!

No events especially on weekends. The staff takes over months to do tasks and the food/cafe closes at 7 pm and without a car their nowhere else to go due to location. Strong reputation however and good opportunities.
