It is great design after collaborating with PhilaU. The syllabus is well structured and the professors are really knowledgeable and helpful.

This school rocks. I am only a sophomore and am already on the board for organizations. I never complain that I am bored because there is always something to do whether it is on campus or off. The city is just a train ride away and the town is just an Uber.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.3
The food is horrible. The teachers do not care about you and you're on your own. The financial aid appears as it is good before you begin, the office is very unorganized and takes months and months to get your refund. Many of my friends and I were overcharged by thousands of dollars and had to work with them for multiple weeks to fix their system.
Overall 1.4
To the public they make the school sound great until you attend it and see all the problems with it.
Overall 1.6
Terrible experience. I am attending Abington campus, and it has been the worse decision of my life! If you want to save your nerves and money, find a different school!
Overall 1.7
I cannot recommend strongly enough how fast you should run away from this school. I am about to graduate in less than a week. I despise this school. Mainly because I used to love this school so deeply, and then it slowly corroded away under new leadership.
Overall 1.9
So boring. Do not go here if you wanna be around snobby rich kids and weirdos. Im still here and can't stand it. Only here for the money.
