I was at Swarthmore College for the first time recently for a wedding. (This is going to be written…read morestrictly about my experience on the campus, and not about the academic/daily aspects of the college.) The setting is just beautiful: from the moment we entered the local neighborhood and drove through the mansions in order to get to the campus gate, you could tell we were in a special place. The old brick buildings are set between a plethora of greenery - fields, towering trees, shrubbery and flowers. The ceremony was intended to be outdoors, but the rain location inside was a great substitute for the intimate joining of the couple. Lighting, music, etc. all worked really well. The reception was in an old cathedral-looking building (all religious symbolism has been removed). The food and service was amazing... all fall-themed for the season, and very hearty. All of the staff that I spoke to were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, my first experience at Swarthmore was enjoyable and memorable. :)

I believe this program is worth it . All of the students are service managers now with less then two years in the field because of our training. I remember going to Turks on graduation day 15 of us in cap and gowns for our party. Wow even the girls had the pasties resembling our graduation caps. What great memories!!!

Always a really uplifting experience to walk around this arboretum…read more Awesomely, you can download tours from their podcasting link (http://www.scottarboretum.org/special/podcasting.html), which makes it really enriching. The arboretum is all over campus, but my favorite part is Crum Woods, located at the back of campus, behind some dorms. I always approach it a certain way, and like to head through the outdoor amphitheater (where graduation is held) as the start of my trek, but the official Arboretum Office is located off Cedar Ln (which is off of College Ave). You can download a map of the woods trails online, and that also shows a portion of campus. If you find the amphitheater, keep going into the forest from there, and you'll pick up the trails of Crum Woods. Dogs are welcome on leash, and when picked up after. The woods trails wind up and down hills, through different patches of vegetation (woods, field, etc.), and you'll see the nearby Septa rail line (formerly the "R3") traversing the landscape. While the specimens on campus are beautifully groomed, much of the arboretum (though certainly well cared for and maintained), is not all manicured like Morris Arboretum, or Longwood, or Chanticleer. It is left more natural, which I find really pleasant, but for those affected, please note, this does make a good portion of the arboretum inaccessible for handicapped people. And, even for those who are able-bodied, I do recommend sneakers, for sure, and some comfortable walking clothes. Your body will thank you, especially on a hot day. I think a lot of people enjoy this place for different sentimental reasons. An ex-boyfriend of mine would go there every Thanksgiving with his family to take a walk after the big meal. I have family who are "Swattie" alums, who seem to just see it as part of campus; a trip down memory lane. Some people like to exercise there, etc. It's weird, the different people I have been there with, all have such different reasons to like the place. My special tie to this arboretum is my grandfather. My grandfather was extremely into horticulture in his retirement, creating his own local orchard, to develop new holly hybrids, which he got to name and all (sorry I don't know the correct horticultural terminology for producing a hybrid). He had a good relationship with local horticulturalists, and in the 70s the Scott people and he did some sample trading (as the family story goes, I believe my grandfather got a Magnolia cutting, and they got a Franklinium cutting), so there may be some of his trees in the arboretum today. So this place always reminds me of my grandfather, and the time I spent with him in his orchard. The Scott Arboretum is really special to me for this reason.

Even if you're not a gardener it's a beautiful place to just wander the 300 acres of trails and enjoy a beautiful day surrounded by nature. Did I mention it's free!

Prospective students should carefully research accreditation and program value before committing…read more On March 10, 2026 I did an impromptu at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology located Media, PA to inquire about the LPN program, Unfortunately, the interaction was unwelcoming and dismissive. The staff member who assisted me did not introduce herself, offer a professional greeting, or engage in a meaningful conversation about the program. When I asked questions, I was largely directed back to the packet instead of receiving clear explanations (after requesting for piece of paper to capture nuggets, before she handed over the packet). I was also surprised to learn that the program is not accredited, despite the significant tuition and additional costs for prerequisite courses ($5,000.00 2 classes). Overall, the experience left a poor first impression and did not reflect the level of professionalism prospective students expect when exploring educational opportunities.

A School with a not so good experience. I graduated from…read morethis Tech School back in 96. The first couple of years were decent and I was making good headway. Then Suddenly around 94/95 There was a first year Electronics Teacher ,who used to work at RCA, who was also male started sexually harassing me. I wasn't sure as to what to do, plus I was very insulted by what was happening to me by this person. All I wanted was to get my degree as fast as possible and get out of there. I was very pissed off with this teacher to say the least. I never forgave this Person for the insult they did to me;I should have said something to the main office but I didn't want to start any trouble. I regret not saying anything at the time when I had the chance. I never went to my graduation nor did I ever go back to finish my dual electronics degree. Good riddance.
