[quote=Anonymous]I went there - gorgeous campus in a nice walkable college town in a convenient location for the NE since it is almost exactly half-way between DC & NY and has a NE Corridor train stop so logistically easy to get to and from for parents and for kids to go to Philly/NY.  The town used to have a lot of character with a cool main street but unfortunately the University took it over and now owns a lot of the commercial property.

When I went there it was fairly upper middle class and competitive but I grew up out west so it was very different from what I grew up with and I'd imagine anyone from around here would feel right at home.

There was decent size but unfortunately mostly segregated AA population but this was 25 years ago so hopefully that has changed.  I don't recall any asian or hispanic students.

It's a mid size school so Athletics are a part of the culture but not a big part like at most state universities.

Fair amount of partying but I didn't travel around much in college so not sure where it stands relative to other schools.

One quirky think I didn't know before I attended is that women greatly outnumber men - when I was there I think it was like 55-45 and I believe it is now even more disproportionate.  I'm a guy and you definitely noticed it.

I think the business, chemistry and nutrition departments are particularly well regarded and the school gained some notoriety a few years ago when it came out that David Plouffe and Chris Christie were students at essentially the same time.[/quote]
