    Am learning a lot

    The classes here are very engaging. Professors know how to make class interesting while you receive a great education. The professors here always have plenty of office hours in case you may need assistance in learning the course material. There are also plenty of available tutors. There is also a writing center where there are individuals ready to happily review an essay or paper of ours or help you get started.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is absolutely gorgeous. The faculty and students at Cedar crest are one of a kind. The faculty truly want to see you succeed an care about each individual student. The students here are very friendly and you make friends that will last forever.
    Bang for the buck

    This college is pretty pricey but the educational experience as well as research opportunities make this institution worth it. Though some may be deterred by the fact that Cedar Crest is women's college, it is not as bad as one would think. Also, the college offers lots of financial aid which significantly cuts down the cost making it easier to afford.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved with the college community. The campus is not huge and niether is the student body so get involved and meet new people. There is no need to be stuck in your dorm room 24/7 studying. Let loose and got to the functions the college offers. There are plenty of off campus trips funded by the school so take advantage of them.
    Great for these types of students

    This college is great for science majors. There are unlimited research opportunities available.

    Will learn a lot

    The curriculum at Cedar Crest is very open, and I am very excited to be able to take an array of courses that interest me, even if they are not associated with my major.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus at Cedar Crest is beautiful and the social life is anything you want it to be, from reserved to exciting.
    Bang for the buck

    Cost was a huge issue for my family. Cedar Crest wasn't the cheapest school around, by any means, but they were incredibly accommodating.

    I think this a great college. They are there to help you, if you swallow your pride and let them help. I was dragging my feet, and hurt me in the end. The professor know what they are teaching. Pay attention and you learn a lot. They bring their own experience, that helps you understand what is in your books and gets you ready for your future.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always ask for help and then you wont run into trouble. Don't let pride stand in your way of help. You will excel further by asking and don't be afraid to ask.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The only problem is they are not wheel chair friendly.

    Cedar Crest College inspires young women to excel in academic, extracurricular, and personal ventures. Any school can teach a woman to become a professional, but only Cedar Crest can teach women how to become a leader. I would recommend Cedar Crest wholeheartedly.
    Tips for prospective students

    What makes you unique?! Show our admissions office exactly who you are. You are more than just a test score and a GPA. Prove it to us!
    Academic Rigor

    The academic rigor of the school highly depends on the major that you pursue. The creative arts and social science majors are not that rigorous, but the science program is highly challenging.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life highly depends on the dorm in which you live. Steinbright Hall and Curtis Hall are quiet, studious environments, whereas Butz Hall and Moore Hall are more lively and animated, making it more difficult to study.
    Food and Dining

    The Dining Hall offers little variety.

    The Bistro offers good quality food, but the pricing is a bit extreme.
    What to do for fun

    There are many academic and fun clubs to participate in on campus.

    Additionally, there are numerous attractions nearby, such as Dorney Park. There are numerous opportunities for fun!
    Greek Life

    We offer one fraternity on campus: Alpha Phi Omega, a national community service fraternity.

    We do not have housing for the fraternity. Instead, all brothers from the fraternity are housed in different dorms.
    Campus Safety

    We have our own police squad, and they are always available, and extremely approachable.

    Tips for prospective students

    A good tip for Cedar Crest College is to get involved, the more involved a student is the more they feel at home here and it helps them grow as a person. I am currently the Vice president of the Conservation club, Treasurer of Student government, I am a varsity member of the Cross Country team, I am active in volunteering for the community, and I also work as an Ambassador in Admissions. Because I am so involved I have had an opportunity to meet new people, try new things and grow as a person, these experiences have helped me to grow as a person. Also I take full advantage of all the study abroad opportunities on campus, over this last winter break I went to Arizona to study the plant life there, this summer I am going to Guyana to explore the Rain forest and learn about the amazing habitats cultures there.
    Academic Rigor

    I am a Biodiversity and Conservation Biology major here at Cedar Crest, and I must say that being a science major here at times can be hard, but if you put in the work and use the tutors provided as well as talking to the professors students can exceed greatly. One thing that I know about being a Science major here is that when I leave here with my degree it will be well earned and I will be better prepared for my field, and well be able to stand out when applying to graduate schools.
    Dorm Life

    I love living on campus, it gives me an opportunity to be more connected on campus and I am making more memories with my friends then I ever would if i lived off of campus. Also living in the dorms has helped to break me out of my shell and meet new people that I would not have other wise met or become close with
    Food and Dining

    The food here is pretty decent for college food, and there are plenty of choises. and even when the dinning hall is closed it is easy to stop in the falcons nest to grab a quick dinner before and after class, especially when it comes to dinner time.
    What to do for fun

    I like to hang out with my friends and I am apart of many extra curricular activities on campus. My friends and I like to go off campus and volunteer on the weekends as well as have some late night trips to taco bell.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    At the end of each semester a tradition we have is, on the last day of classes we all get together as a campus and have what we call frolic. We collect in Samuels theater and put on skits and dances for the students to see. After frolic ends we all go upstairs to the dining hall for midnight breakfast, where the Dean of Students serves us breakfast and then we have a dance party in the dining hall. This is just a way for the students to unwind after a hard semester and get all the stress out before Finals start.
    Campus Safety

    Campus police is very active on campus, there is always an officer on call 24 hours a day, also they do rounds around the campus checking to make sure that all is well, the go through academic buildings as well as residents halls. Also there are emergency polls around campus that when one presses the button it connects you to campus police and they will come to where you are and escort you to where you need to go. I personally have never had to use these but they are good to have around in case students are walking late and want someone to walk with them. I have never felt unsafe at Cedar Crest.

    Am learning a lot

    I am definitely learning a lot. I must admit that a lot of the professor's show great interest in welling to help you with your school work. You must also show an interest too.
    Am enjoying being here

    iEven though Cedar Crest may be a bit of a small school with a lot of girls i am learning to cope with it. I love the friends am making and the education level
    Bang for the buck

    For the most part i believe so.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you get bored easily and you are looking to constantly have fun then this is not the school for you. Although there are activities to attend on campus, the weekends are always dead. I have friends near by so it makes it easy for me to travel and find things to do. Always come to school with an open mind and open heart. School especially college is not all about fun so in the long run you will appreciate attending a school like this.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who care heavily about there education.
    Students who live close to the location or an hour or two away.
    Students with a tolerance of 90% girls all of the time.
    Women who inspire to be much more in life

    Am learning a lot

    The class sizes are usually small about 15 students to a class or smaller. The professors are easy to talk to about homework, projects and upcoming tests. The classes are engaging and interesting. Some classes have an online portion which is very helpful. The online work helps to reinforce what you learned in class and helps you get in touch with your professor if you have questions.
    Am enjoying being here

    The students are very friendly and open. It was very easy to settle in as a freshman and feel at home. I am part of the Ballet company and have friends in the Modern, Jazz and Tap companies and all of us enjoy practicing and performing. The downside is that the dance department is loosing money so dance classes are being cut from the program quite rapidly.
    Bang for the buck

    This is a private college so yes it is very expensive, however the personal attention from professors and opportunities out weigh the costs. If you are looking for small class sizes and personal attention from professors this is a great college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Look extensively into the programs you are interested in majoring in for the next four years. CCC has a great nursing program along with other science programs. The business department is also great. The professors are easy to talk to and highly concerned with your progress in their classes. The professors will work with you if you are struggling or if you need some one to talk to.
    Great for these types of students

    Hard working, self motivated, students. CCC is a quiet campus, great for studying and for students who want to remain focused on school.
