While I am aware that this is a business. I am disappointed that this Catholic college does not do more to accommodate students or alumni. The issue at hand was that my transcript was not processed on time. My request was for an electronic submission due to delays was in result of the inconvenience of an CHC employee being on maternity leave. However, I was met with requirement of additional fees despite my financial hardship. This very is one of the various list of why I did return to CHC as a a graduate student. If this college cares about retention because it is clear students are just a number. Why not try to accommodate students on something as frivolous and sending an email verses postal mail that could potentially jeopardize said student's success. I see there is very Godliness on this campus and certain with the legacy of Chestnut Hill College. read more

I made over 30 phone calls asking for information about their programs because I wanted to attend CHC. Throughout the span of over a month, I called nearly everyday and was transferred to numerous departments; not one department answered their phone. I left messages and not one person returned my call. This is the most poorly run college in the Philadelphia area. They do not want people to attend here or otherwise they would be helpful by doing the minimum, which is returning a phone call. read more

I was a past student here. I made a lot of good friends. But the food here is just meh. Wish it could be better. Also at this college there is no drinking no alcohol allowed. read more

Don't go to this school!! Whatever they say or do dont do it. It literally should be a community college with the courses they offer and how they act. Nobody seems to communicate with each other in the offices and don't seem to want to help a student at all. Clearly all they care about is themselves and money. Let's not mention how political everything is within the school, even down to the teams. I wish I never went here to begin with because not only did I not learn anything new except digital media but I didn't enjoy living in dorms made 100 years ago. Please what ever you do, skip over this school! It isn't what it says it is and it's not made for you even with whatever courses they are offering! read more

Things must have changed since the last time CHC was reviewed in 2007. I go to graduate school here. I made my decision after a ton of research. CHC's program is accelerated and very suited to a working professional like myself. I absolutely love the instructors, curriculum and most of the students. After attending three other colleges in the area (and getting degrees from two of them) CHC is by far my favorite. Best decision I have ever made. read more

Chestnut Hill College - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm taking a swim class here. The pool has a lifeguard. There are locker rooms with showers. There are lots of swim props by the pool as well. The water temperature is a little on the cold side, but once you get going it's not bad. It goes to 8 feet and there is diving allowed. read more

Chestnut Hill College's Sugarloaf Conference Center is a serene, gorgeous, functional and affordable spot for a staff retreat, meeting or other event. Drew, Ursula and Gene made the arrangements easy, were attentive to detail and just made our 2 day retreat so easy. You can walk the beautiful grounds on breaks, and head to Germantown Avenue for dinner or a break. If you need a space and catering for a meeting or event, Sugarloaf is sweet! read more

Alumni of December 2013 here! I love the old charm that CHC brings. Class sizes are small and the professors are knowledgeable in their field. I loved making friends and the convenience of the accelerated courses. I received a discount on tuition for a high GPA and transferred all of my courses. read more

They lure people here from out of town who have never seen the place. Most people from philly don't even know the place exists. Oh yeah, it costs a grip too! read more

This is one of the worst colleges possible... firstly, the dorms are old and dusty and hot and musty. 99% of emails don't get answered. They over charge everything. I got a fine because I wasn't moved out by 6pm on move out day which was a Wednesday and I had to make 2 trips home. The food is terrible. Honestly if you're a student coming from high school steer clear of this catastrophe. Also you have to pay $150 for a parking pass . Yeah you have to pay $150 on top of the almost $50,000 tuition . It's money consuming and they don't care about the student even though they claim they do. read more
