The Forensic Science Program is second to none.BrightBiology
The Forensic Science Program is second to none. I am in the Honors Program at Cedar Crest, and I get to do research at the undergraduate level. The flexibility of the program is amazing, and I can't stress how easily one can double major. The flexibility and the ease of having a concentration in Forensic Science makes my life easier. Also, the graduates at Cedar Crest go on to do actual research at well respected universities like Harvard, Stanford and Cornell.If you want to focus on getting a good science education that will actually get you somewhere in the world of science, that doesn't focus on giant sororities and the like, Cedar Crest is the place for you. be warned, it is an all women's college.

Question
When I visited Cedar Crest,I wasn't really impressed.Bright
When I visited Cedar Crest,I wasn't really impressed. The campus wasn't all that and you would expect it to be much more outlandish for the amount of money you're paying them. Personally, I didn't see much diversity (culture wise) which was a turn off. The food is horrible, and there isn't much to choose from. The dorms are very small and there isn't much space. The surrounding city is bland and there isn't much to do. The campus is generally quiet.

I do like the flexibility they have with their degrees, and they have a sense of closeness and community with their professors. They promote student research as early as freshman year.Unfortunately, the 'closeness' and the promotion of undergraduate research could be found elsewhere, and the negatives outweigh the good. I wouldn't waste my time here if I were you, especially if you want a diverse campus experience.

Question
If you want a good education, do notQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
If you want a good education, do not go to this college. It is overpriced, the teachers are bias and push their opinion on the students, and the class times are inconvenient at best. They refuse to offer on campus classes, So I was forced to take hybrid and online courses to graduate, which made me ineligible for Pheaa grants. If you do get any scholarships, they try to steal your money by taking it for themselves! The campus is completely run down. The pipes crack in the walls which makes it impossible to focus, the place is filthy, and half the classrooms aren't even in use- I had two classes in a cramped conference room.
