Arcadia University Top Questions

If I had to choose, the worse thing about my school is that even though there are fun activities planned out during the week, a lot of people leave over the weekends. It seems that no one hangs out with their friends over the weekend, and the idea of Arcadia being a close knit community doesn't exist anymore.

Different activites are set up but they don't seem effective.

The cost and finanical stress this school causes me is insane. I am always struggling to figure out where the money is coming from each semester.

I am learning and growing in ways I am extremely proud of, but I am constantly worried if money is going to keep me from graduating.

If being liberal is being part of the majority on campus I wish that other students and professors would really consider that there must be some students who do not agree. I feel that it is fine for everyone to have their own opinions and beliefs, but it is not one's job to talk about it all the time and force what they think on others.
