Came here to play sports and had a pretty good time. It has some pretty bad teachers but it also has some amazing ones so I definitely recommend this school especially if you're an athlete!

The campus is beautiful and safe. You can have a pet in the dorm. There are great teachers and coaches.
Veterinary nursing and medical nursing are very popular majors. Equine studies and education programs are awesome too, so it depends on what you are interested in. The school is 1 hour from Harrisburg and 1.5 hour from Washington DC.

Seems nice when you come and visit, but as soon as you start living here you feel like the campus is antisocial. If you life to socialize and become part of the college I would not recommend coming here.

This is a suitcase school. If you are social you won’t like it here. Questionable ethics in the vet program.

There isn't much to do socially. The barn is amazing, but other than that, there's not much

I'm only here because life happened and this was the only school where I could get my degree fulltime. Honestly, if I wasn't in my situation I wouldn't be here.
