This place is a joke; I truly believe that Reddit offers a better education in any of the STEM subjects they -allegedly- offer. Their teaching program, which I understand is very popular, has produced some of the most lack-luster, sub-par, and under-performing educators and student teachers I have ever had to learn under or work with. I have nothing against Liberal Arts colleges; I think they are a wonderful thing when done correctly. I will not argue that their campus is nice, but there are even nicer collegiate campuses a stone's throw away that offer inifnitely more beneficial oppurtunities, internships, and majors. Furthermore, their admissions office is like a pesky drunk who does not possess the rudimentary mental capacity for comprehending basic phrases like 'no' and 'I'm not interested'; they hound potential applicants relentlessly. I know this is normal for some colleges, but all other incidents of this I have encountered have ended shortly after I spoke up about my discomfort. This has not been the case with this self-proclaimed 'institute of learning'. Truly one of the greatest wastes of time and money; federal prison would be a bettter way to spend one's time.

From the outside, you'd think this was just a building to come and ask questions about Temple University (main campus) but it's actually a full-service university (class rooms and all lol) . It's really spacious and very up to date with it's look. CASA students take classes here because they have way more than enough space. They offer flexible freshman and transfer programs - super convenient for anyone who has credits If you're ever in the area you should definitely check it out!

Their financial aid is good, if you are an incredibly high-achieving student who should be going just about anywhere else but their campus. SU uses the pretty idea of financial aid to lure you in. Coming here means wasting time and talent. I feel that Reddit- I hate Reddit- has educated individuals more effectively. Four years in federal prison would look nicer on a resume for anyone planning to enter a science or science-adjacent field of work. STEM is not the end of it. Susquehanna University is responsible for some of the most under-prepared, lack-luster, and apathetic educators I have ever learned under or worked with.

I attended Milton Hershey School from 1997 until 2010. I was five when I first arrived at the…read moreschool and eighteen when I left. It's far too complicated to thoroughly review the school, as I feel that it would require a more nuanced approach to truly summarize my experience. I will try my best to provide a high-level overview of the school, while maintaining some level of brevity. The school has undergone many changes since its inception, but there are some consistent elements that warrant being highlighted. The school has always covered the complete cost of food, clothing, housing, schooling, medical, and dental needs for every single child who is admitted. The campus is very large and well maintained. There are three schools on campus; elementary, middle, and high school. There are also health centers, environmental centers, clothing/facility centers, horticulture centers, learning resource centers, medical clinics, dental clinics, and fitness facilities, also all located on the campus. The students at the school reside in student homes that are overseen by houseparents. When I was at the school, there were about twelve students in each home. Each house is provided transportation in the form of a large van suitable for transporting every member of the household. Each home has a kitchen, dining room, recreational room, office, living room, computer room, houseparent apartment, bathrooms, mud room, basketball court, and parking garage. Students in their final year at the school participate in a program called Transitional Living. The objective of this program is to provide some exposure to a college-style version of living. Another intention of the program is to instill some independent living skills in the students and hopefully increase the likelihood of success post graduation. There are various career pathways that high school students can participate in, some of which include, automotive, health occupation, human services, information technology, carpentry, graphic design and business marketing. The career pathways are intended to provide occupational experience prior to college/tech school, which is also paid for by the school. The school changed my life in many ways, for better and worse. I like to weigh out this particular experience with heconsideration to the various opportunities that I was given while attending the school, and from that perspective, I can say that the experience was generally a positive one and likely did more good than harm.

Full disclosure: I am the parent of a newly-admitted DC Freshman. I also was accepted years ago at…read morethe Dickinson School of Law, which is un-related to DC but sits at the edge of its campus. As such, I've been to Carlisle a number of times over the past 30 years, both as a prospective law student and as the parent of a DC student. Here's my "review" of Dickinson College and the surrounding town/area... Beautiful campus, strong alumni network, including extremely successful alums like the CEO/President of LL Bean. Numerous awards for being a top-rated college as to sustainability. Responsive staff. Small student to teacher ratio. Encourages students to find their passion, so interesting combinations of double majors and majors/minor abound, and students don't declare their major until Jr year, I believe. Encourages study abroad and for a somewhat unique statistic I think, Dickinson states that 60% of its student athletes do so, with the coaches' encouragement! Dickinson is what it appears to be, "family" to its alumns and students. Extremely supportive all-around. Location is close to Harrisburg, the Commonwealth's capital, as well as an easy 1.75 hour ride to Phila area (85 miles in my case!) as a straight shot down the PA Turnpike! One comment stated this is a boring school with nothing to do. That's ridiculous. There are attractions within an easy drive, _lots_of activities on campus, and a growing diversity of students. And, to callously call the surrounding area as being full of "red-necks" is nonsense. As a former diversity trainer with a major Fortune50 company and within the USCG Aux, that statement really jolted me. The folks in Carlisle may be more rural in background than say someone from a city or a suburb near a city, but they are welcoming and friendly. Judging an entire community based on some interaction had with one or two (perhaps) is simply unfair to the community as a whole). Go Red Devils! PS To YELP: Why the heck would you NOT recommend the 3 "Not Recommended" 5-star reviews that were well-written, thoughtful and gave details upon which the reviews were based? And, from both students and parents! I don't get it! If they were included, DC would have a near 5-Star rating which is more in-line with what I've experienced via the many alumns I've met, both at DC functions AND by pure chance in the "big outside world" where they had no reason to be biased in their view...i.e. I met them via normal, everyday encounters via my job, etc!

Additional signs or more distinctive colors would be helpful for visitors.
