Susquehanna University is an institution that “thrives on building strong leaders and independent thinkers.†The school’s small size means undergrads are joining a “close-knit community†replete with a “strong alumni network.†Perhaps more importantly, it’s evident that the school “is invested...in the success of their students.†While Susquehanna offers a variety of great majors, students are prone to highlight the “top-notch creative writing program,†“outstanding music education program,†and “strong†science departments. Undergrads also praise a more unique aspect of a Susquehanna education-mandatory study off campus in a culture different from one’s own (95 percent of students choose to go abroad). One senior elated about this requirement shares, “I believe that every young adult should have access to a cross-cultural experience and I value Susquehanna for making such an experience a priority for its students.†Thankfully, for the most part, undergrads enjoy their on-campus education as well. By and large, this can be attributed to “fantastic†professors who “take a personal interest in their students.†Indeed, the “friendly†teachers here really strive to make themselves “accessible.†And, as one impressed creative writing major adds, a handful “often invite [students] up to their houses for dinner and discussion.†However, one neuroscience major does caution that “you usually have to fight to get into a class with a ‘good’ professor and the registration process is always a hassle.â€
