Great for these types of students

Students whom love to travel--whether by train or by car. Center City is rather close. Students who love visiting museums, sight-seeing, and/or shopping. It's all here. The college is in a suburb, but the atmosphere is still fast-paced and populated.

Tips for prospective students

Freshmen can drive cars.

Bang for the buck

The academics are great, but the sports and activities aren't worth the tuiton. Room and board are also WAY overpriced.

Did enjoy being here

I loved the close proximity from my dorm to my classes. The campus is also scenic, and the buildings are beautiful. Sports and activities are weak, but my difficulty was that I was homesick.

Did learn a lot

Professors are GREAT. They really have the expertise in each of their fields. Especially in Honors courses, they treat you as an adult and respect your intelligence. Two of my favorite professors are from Rosemont College. Teaching doesn't just apply to classes; seminars and travelling outside of class may be required for intellectual enhancement.
