Prepped for a year to do well enough on the GRE, gain work experience, and crush my interview to gain admission into their physician assistant program...which I did. Even visited the campus before accepting their offer to get an impression of if it was right for me. Well, it was a classic bait and switch [in quality]. The castle ambiance is luring, but the administration and chairs are a soup-sandwich falling apart. Two professors were fine but the rest couldn't separate out their divorced unhappy lives from their duty to teach. Some had a strange understanding of pathophysiology that makes me chuckle 12 years later now that I know better. Plus, they tracked negative feedback on courses by seeing what time your evaluation populated off and when an unnamed new one populated on...so there was no true anonymity. Luckily my academic advisor went to bat for me when I was threatened with expulsion if I ever gave another negative review. It prepared me but I am sure another university would have done so just as well with kinder and more just intent as well as better organization.
They say school is diverse,or they are trying to make it that way.That is wonderful,unfortunately their is racism against white people that goes on,and school does nothing about it
Absolutely horrible program. I would not recommend choosing Arcadia for anything study abroad-related ever again. Did not accommodate my medical needs, could not get me in to any of the courses that I wanted to take, did not provide any sort of backdrop of support or advocacy when in a completely different country. 6 people are assigned to hundreds of students to attempt to get them in to the classes they like, and it rarely ever happens. Communication efforts appear to be very minuscule in response to unfortunate events or emergencies. Coordination between the program and the school is terrible. Essentially, you are just another cog in the machine in this program. I will never recommend Arcadia to my peers going forward.
Wow. Honestly don't understand how Arcadia is a University people even think twice about coming to. SO many complaints. This school is a complete joke. It's not worth your time. It's not worth your money. Probably one of my worst mistakes. The only good part about it is Preview and Study Abroad. But other than that this is not a campus you want to come to. Visit a few times and actually get an idea of what it's like before coming. You'll be thankful if you do.
This university is very safe and friendly environment. It feels like a home away from home and in the community aspect, you'll always have things to do, people to talk to and places to always find your favorite place to hang out at. Small population but very supportive faculty and students. 10/10
