Ursinus College is for students who are serious about there education but also wish to have the opportunity to have a terrific social experience.

    Ursinus is not only a great environment for learning, it's also a great environment for living. Being such a small school, the campus feels more like a neighborhood than a network of buildings. There is always something going on on campus, whether it be a free concert or comic show, to a special exhibition in our art museum, entertainment is easy to find. Also, the campus is about 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia, with public transportation available via SEPTA busses and trains. read full review
