My daughter and I attended Accepted Students Day this past weekend. She wasn’t really sure what to expect since she had applied based on the reputation of the creative writing program but had not yet visited the school. She loved it! The university really did a nice job of hosting accepted students. Although Susquehanna may be perceived by some to be not as prestigious as other schools, all the people we met - students, administrators, faculty, other accepted students and their families - were friendly, welcoming, helpful and sincere. Not a lot of pretense here. Just lots of good, honest, down to earth people, which fits my daughter to a T. The campus itself is beautiful and well cared for. It was spotless. The folks at the university are to be commended. As for academics, the English Literature and Creative Writing programs are top-notch. Daughter was also happy to learn of the new photography major and teacher certification programs. And though she does not intend to major in music, she received a music performance scholarship which will allow her to continue private studies and perform in one of the ensembles. Susquehanna has it all for her. She will be attending accepted students day/open houses at other colleges to which she been accepted and will likely return to Susquehanna for an overnight visit. So while she has not yet committed to Susquehanna, she has already stated that it beats out some of her other top schools. Good luck students in making your decisions!
