Let me just say this one more time, as far as the academics go, Ursinus is a pretty good school and maybe even better if your interests align with the main focus of your department, Bio majors interested in Ecology, for example. I don’t have many bad things to say about my education except a handful of downright poor instructors, but that is to be expected at most places anyway.

The security issues are real, but it all depends on what you value most. 70% of the time if you avoid risky activities, have no serious medical problems and stay out of bad situations it won’t matter. If you are in dire need of an ambulance and your condition isn’t readily apparent to untrained staff, or if there is an active shooter, you’re pretty much screwed. Knowing what I know now, if I had to do it all over again, and if money wasn’t an issue, I would have to think long and hard about coming to Ursinus, and I’m sure many other schools (if I knew the truth of what really goes on at them).

I would never tell anyone what decision they should make, and I won’t try to steer anyone away from Ursinus; it absolutely makes no difference to me in any way. I’m just here telling the informed truth to the best of my experience, a truth that maybe only 1% or less of the students here or anywhere really encounter on a regular basis.
