The majority of students and professors are niceQuite BrightNursing
The majority of students and professors are nice and down-to-earth. As in every school, there are a handful of students who are snobby or crazy and a few professors who could be a little more considerate, but overall I love it. There is a stereotype that most of the students at Cedar Crest are lesbians (since it's an all-woman college), but that's not the impression I get after going there 3 years. Granted I don't live in the dorms, but if I had to guess the statistics would be more like 5-10%. I haven't seen any homophobia or difficulties between gay and non-gay people. It's a pretty open minded place with quite a few students from other cultures (Middle-Eastern, Japanese, and Hispanic are the most prominent). I'd recommend it to almost anyone, especially people going into the sciences. The Nursing, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Forensics, and Dance programs are very popular and good here.

CCC prepared me forPsychology
CCC prepared me for Graduate School and the professors in the Psy. Department went out of their way to help get me into a good graduate program at Hollins College. I have remained within the field of Psychology my entire career.

Question
This is a great science school.BrightCommunications
This is a great science school. Unfortunately I'm a communications major and journalism programs are hard come by at Cedar Crest. The communications department is not only loosing classes. The building where most of the com. offices are located, Hartzel Hall, is falling apart. The roof leaks and the walls are warping.

However, new science buildings are being built and there is a new pool.
I'll admit that I am a little bitter. When I was accepted, I was told that Cedar Crest had French and Photography...it doesn't. Don't take anything for granted. Check out the course book and make sure you visit!

THERE IS ALMOST NO NIGHT LIFE HERE! Unless you have a car you are in trouble. Most people call this a "Suitcase School" meaning, when the weekend comes, everyone goes home. No one wants to hang around because there is nothing to do.The teachers and faculty are great and extremely approachable. Most of the students are also extremely friendly but I would only recommend this school to someone who was planning to study something like nuclear medicine or Chemistry or Environmental studies.
