Widener University

Very specific with work, if its not the exact definition she gives you its wrong

The worst and doesn't know how to teach. Exams are not like the homework she assigns. Pretty much an online class and you have to learn from MyMathLab...

Dr. Rose is so sweet! she genuinely cares about her students, not just inside the classroom but outside of it as well. her tests are 50 questions and ...

Take time to study notes after each class. Don't bother using his study guide, usually its not the same.

if you go and pay attention the essays on the test will be a lot easier. on the tests there are identifications of certain pictures (maybe about 8) bu...

This was the most difficult class-professor combination. I was excited to take this class until I was not taught much. I had to read for the exam but ...

University Reviews

I don't like it here.

The campus itself is pretty lacking. There's not much effort going into keeping the campus "pretty." Some people are more outgoing than others. The caf food is decent. Go to the POD if you don't like it. I wish there were more clubs. It's near Philly, which is great. So much to do in Philly. I should have went to another college.

Honestly this is the worst school ever. I transferred out of it after my freshman year and so glad I did. The graduation rate is seriously soooo low and half of my freshman class left for other universities. The teachers are nice and thats about it. the students suck, the food is terrible, Chester is scary. If you spend money going here you are dum

It's in Chester but it's not as bad as you may think it to be.

Not much to do around campus if you aren't in a club. And there isn't anything to do in Chester so you are confined to the campus.

The campus is in a TERRIBLE area. Other than traveling to Philly or King of Prussia, there is not much to do. The campus is really small and not much to do besides go to class. The advisors are not very helpful, I was given over 8 classes so I wouldn't lose my scholarship, and I was overwhelmed. The workload is ridiculous and the professors are bad

All of the campus safety are really nice. The food isn't great but isn't awful either. I'm really enjoying my first semester here.

Widener is an excellent school with an incredible amount of resources at the tips of your fingers. I've chosen this school because of its excellent reputation, astounding connections, and overall above expectation occurrences. The courses and (most) professors are great: Most are willing to help any student achieve the best grade they possibly can.

I love it here, it is a super safe campus and everyone is so welcoming and nice!

Looking back I would not chose this school again unless you're into the high school vibe, but worse. Just don't go here.

Wouldnt pick another school if I could

Overall decent school

There are armed robberies off campus occasionally by residents from the town and one in a Freshmen residence hall by someone who does not attend this school . Most of the Freshman halls have mice and roach infestations. However, the people that work here are amazing, minus some of the administration. There are professors that are hidden gems.

Food is TERRIBLE but the cafe employees are pretty cool. Freshman dorms generally suck but that's average for everywhere. There is absolutely nothing to do off campus, you have to drive at least 30 min. This place is never anyone's first choice. The President never talks to students aside from "appearances." This school regulates student activity.
