Rosemont College — Local services in Lower Merion Township

I'll preface my review by stating that every student needs to do their research and reflect on what they are looking for in a college. We have two college age daughters who attending two very different schools. I am very happy to say that our daughter who is attending Rosemont has found it to be the perfect fit for her and is thriving in the environment there.

As a small school, Rosemont has offered our daughter a more intimate and personal experience that one cannot get in a big school lecture hall. The instructors and staff are very approachable, helpful and invested in the success of their students. Everybody working there seems to know everyone else and if one person doesn't know the answer to what you are looking for then they will put you in touch with the person who does. The school also has a really positive culture among the students, staff, and teachers. People say "good morning" and hold doors open for you and make you feel welcomed.

If you're looking for division one sports, fraternity & sorority houses, a big party scene, or the other trappings of a large school then you won't find that at Rosemont. But it's perfect for the person who would feel lost in the crowd of a larger school. It's perfect for the person seeking a low student to teacher ratio, someone who might want to play sports but not at a D1 level, someone who would like to join some clubs & other activities and be a part of a wonderful community.

Stating the obvious, but if you're looking for a school then do your research. Visit the schools and then visit your short list a second time, maybe shadowing some classes. It's going to be a big investment of money and years of your life so be diligent and invest in some pre-work before...

ROSEMONT COLLEGE- a small catholic college near Philadelphia that is overshadowed by other institutions in the area. The Power of Small= a college with few students, few professors/staff, few majors/course offerings, few resources/funding, and few opportunities/activities. Due to the size of the school, the students are not fully expose to the life of college, and the intellectual mindset that comes along with it. The school is suffering from low funding so the infrastructure and buildings are not well maintain. The school is suffering from low student satisfaction, so alumni contributions and financial support are VERY low. Hint: most of the reviews are negative. Since this is a private college, low alumni financial support is driving down the school. Alumni don't support the school because most of them CAN'T FIND JOBS. DONORS WOULD NOT FULLY SUPPORT A COLLEGE THAT IS HEADING DOWN HILL TOWARD CLOSURE. It is not a great investment to attend this college or donate your money. Also, this school attracts a lot of low income students on loans, so the school is losing its appeal.

The reputation of Rosemont College have DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY over the last couple of years. It was better when it wasn't co-ed. My wife attended there for a short period before transferring to a better school.

The school is FAILING and the academics are not good at this school. The school is low quality and their graduates are NOT PREPARED TO ENTER THE REAL WORLD. I interviewed a couple of students from this school and NONE of them was ready for a career.

Many of my neighbors and close friends all agree, Rosemont College is NOT A GOOD COLLEGE. The school is disorganized and will shutdown in the next few years. Villanova University will...

Terrible school. Ive heard that it was a wonderful school years ago but now it is definitely failing. The transfer-out rate is crazy. Nothing is clean, the dorm halls are absolutely disgusting and no one will do anything to change it. The academic buildings are unclean and outdated as well. Even the cafeteria has mice crawling around eating food on the floor under your feet, no joke. The food is horrible, it sits out all day and hardly has any menu changes. No variety and makes you sick. Most of the teachers are not worth the money. They do care about students individually but are NOT good teachers. A complete joke academically, not challenging whatsoever and basically anyone could get a 4.0 there. No communication between departments so information gets misconstrued and the only way to get things done is to get one everyone about it. Theres absolutely nothing to do on campus. The RAs try their best but they dont have much to work with at all. The only thing to really do is attend sports games, even the clubs are lacking, only having about 20 or so clubs. Security needs some serious work. The only two positive things I can say about this school is that they do care about you individually and most of the staff does try to help in any way they can. Also, campus ministry is a great opporunity and gives the students something beneficial to do. AVOID...
