Community is a good environment to go to school and focus on social and academic life

If you're looking for something lowkey and having everything you need in arms reach. Then look no further to here at Brandywine. My recruitment process was not your typical process because of COVID – I completed the entire process over Zoom and chose to attend Brandywine without visiting campus. The faculty and staff who helped me through the process definitely made the most of it given the circumstances. A year later, I can say choosing Brandywine was the best option for me. Everything you need to be successful is right here on campus within walking distance and I’m all about the convenience factor. I sleep there; I eat there; I work out right here and the library is over there.

Whether you want to move on to University Park with the 2+2 plan or stay at Brandywine, you can achieve whatever you want out of your education here. The availability to enroll in web based classes from another campus to find all of your course needs and to expand your options is fantastic. The staff genuinely care about you and if you’re willing to work you will be well on your way to a degree and an amazing alumni network.

You need to actively work to build community for yourself if you’re not staying on campus, it’s very easy to become just another face in the crowd if you allow. If you’re about the social aspect of college life this might not be the place for you. Prepare to walk if you commute, the parking can be pretty far from some buildings.
