Emily - 07/09/2019

My overall opinion of Ursuline College is pretty great. The campus is beautiful and pretty small so it doesn't take very long to get anywhere. The food is better than average with their selection and variety of meals. The facilities are stellar, particularly those in the athletic building. The housing is very nice and one can always put in a work order if something is broken or just not working. But I would have to say that I particularly love the staff, the classes, and the small class sizes. Having only a dozen or so students as the average class size is great, especially if one is having problems with the course. Especially within my major, I know that I can always approach my professors with any and all questions I may have and that they will answer to the best of their knowledge without judgement. This and the overall variety of class content makes me proud and grateful that I attend Ursuline College.

Faith - 04/23/2019

Honestly, Ursuline is extremely safe, small, and peaceful. The campus is absolutely beautiful-there's a fountain in a giant pond that the dorms and main buildings surround. Personally it's close to home but far away enough to feel like I'm at college. The food is pretty good considering we don't have culinary arts. There's a salad bar, smoothies and shakes on Friday's, a grill that is always open during kitchen hours, and a main course meal everyday. There are even weekend hours that the cafeteria is open. If you like to party, drink, or smoke I wouldn't recommend this college as we mainly focus on education and sports. The professors do a really great job replying quickly and even knowing you as a person rather than just a number. Classroom sizes are small and suitable for learning as well. As far as making friends goes, mostly every person I've met is friendly! Ursuline is mainly an all girls college but there are men who attend here. I said I'd never go to a Catholic all girls school but I stepped on campus and loved it. Who knows, you may fall in love too.

IT'S AWESOME!!! I love it. I went to visit it this weekend and I think its amazing. I will be planning to go to Ursuline College if I get enough money to pay for it. I like the all-girl advantage also. Less drama equals more opportunities to learn. I believe I've found the right college and am planning to apply.

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Ursuline College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Ursuline College is 89%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself not to put off going to college. That was the worst decision of my life. I ended up getting married at 19 and that was a big mistake. I was divorced by 23 with a beautiful daugher. I started going back to school at the age of 31, so I was not able to experience the wonderful world of campus life. If I could go back in time, I would definately let myself know that there is a huge world out there and that I need to put my future in my hands and go directly to college. Jobs are really limited when you do not posess a college degree. You are to smart to let life pass you by! Make the most of your potential!

  4. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    Honestly, I wish I had known how great their UCAP (Ursuline College Accelerated Program) program was. I spent a few years hopping from school to school trying to find something that felt right. When you are paying for your own education out of pocket you want to feel like you are actually learning something; not just regurgitating information for the sake of a piece of paper.

  7. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    It is amazing regarding what the question that you are asking is. It is also my motivation, for returning to nursing school, to obtain my Masters in Nursing and Education. I believe, and unfortunately have experienced, that there are nurses in the working world, who have returned to school and due to the lack of nurse educators, causing the class curriculums to be presented in online form, there is no one to weed out the nurses, who are only in nursing, for the money. The care they are giving is affecting our patient outcomes.
