What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would tell myself not to stress over the transition so much. College is very similar to high school in terms of the work load. Making friends in college is not very hard and the people are all working toward graduation, so they are all motivated. Instead of worrying about how difficult new classes will be, get excited about the opportunity to learn things which interest you. You and your friends will not grow apart--the internet will keep you togther. Although you do not want to call your parents all the time, make sure that you keep in touch with them. They will take it personally if you do not make time for them at least once in a while. Remember to call your grandparents and aunts, too. Keep your head up and you will adjust to dorm life very easily. Stay positive and think of college as a new beginning instead of an ending.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

What are the academics like at your school?
Albright College is a liberal arts school, meaning that there are a lot of general education courses that have absolutely nothing to do with one's major. I found that aspect appealing because I believe it helps to make a student more well-rounded. However, a language is required (unless you test out), which is a big turn off for many students. It is true that the professor is the deciding factor on whether or not a class will be enjoyable. Do your research with the upperclassmen when picking your classes and professors.
All of my professors have been very accessible and even put their phone numbers on their syllabus. The school has very high standards and Dean's List is a 3.75 at Albright.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
Greek life and sports rule the party scene. There are over 200 clubs to choose from and most do not require weekly meetings. Albright requires students to go to "experience events" in order for them to graduate, so those are usually pretty packed. I suggest showing up about half an hour in advance. I met all of my closest friends from living in the same dorm as them. People always have their doors open and are very friendly. There is a bowling alley a couple minutes off campus and the Pagoda is a pretty popular place to walk to.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
Choosing a college is a lot of work, and choosing the right college is very stressful. The first time I stepped onto Albright College's campus I knew it was where I was intended to be. My search was not stressful because I just followed my heart. I love the friendly, small campus atmosphere. The small campus community gives me a chance to be known for the little things that I do to help make a difference in my school. I knew that a big school was not for me because I wanted to have a lasting connection with my professors. Albright college allowed me to have the comfort of a home away from home feeling. I was very nervous to move from home, but once I was greeted by the friendly students all my fears disappeared. I appreciate how Albright has the friendliest staff and professors working their. They all want us to succeed and accomplish our dreams. All of my professors have an open door policy, and they stay late to help their students who are having a little trouble in class. There are so many opportunities for me at Albright that I get mad because I will never be able to take advantage of them all. I found a college that is more than just a place to better my education I found a place to make memories. I am proud to call Albright my family.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Most people always tell me how I attend a "very good school" when I tell them I go to Albright College. I would say there really is no stereotype for someone studying at Albright. It's a pretty small school, so it's very close-knit and everyone knows almost everyone face to face.
