The Epitome of the Small Town
Collegeville, so named for Ursinus College being there, is a comfortable, small town environment. With a farmer's market to the famed Collegeville Diner, the best place for a UC student to go for excitement is the Wawa located half a mile from campus. Sure, there's the dollar store and a CVS for convenience, but other than what's offered on campus, there isn't much going on in the town. The locals aren't a fan of the loud parties held at UC traditionally 3 nights a weekend, but there isn't much else to do, unless you have a car. With one, you're only a 45 minute drive away from Philly, a 30 minute drive to King of Prussia Mall, and a 15 minute drive to the Wegman's. There's a small children's park by Marzella's if you're that desperate for fun. Otherwise, stay on campus.

Not to Shabby for a School of 2,000
Our small school takes a lot of pride in sports. In fact, a lot of student athletes are also majoring in Exercise Sports and Science. A majority of students are involved in sports and those who are not definitely come out to support their friends who are. The facilities take up a majority of the campus and the coaches are as dedicated as they are genuine.

Friendly but Professional
Campus Safety is interested in only one thing: your safety. The wonderful people who work in the administration building are always friendly, unless you are giving them a hard time. ResLife takes the time to be personal with the residents before jumping to judgments and unwarranted conclusions. The school takes drug violations very seriously and drinking violations are less strict, but still very much enforced.
