<p>My daughter and I just came back from a visit to Phila U. Her mind was made up for FIT, but was concerned about missing out on the traditional college experience. Phila U seemed to be a more typical campus. She is an all around student who is very involved in high school (sports, student council, clubs, etc) and would like to continue that in college. She loves NYC and FIT, but now is seriously considering Phila U instead. flalaw, what does your daughter say about campus life? Is there alot to do on campus or do they go in the city more? I have heard that many students go home on weekends … has this been your daughter’s experience? Is it difficult for her to balance her athletic involvement with the academics? My daughter may be considering playing a sport, but not yet sure.
I was very impressed with what we saw during our visit … seems like a very interesting and vibrant place.</p>
