Ursinus is a private liberal arts college located in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia. It's a tight-knit community of about 1,500 undergraduates who come here for a traditional four-year degree with an emphasis on close faculty relationships and hands-on learning. The suburban setting gives you access to the city without feeling like you're in the middle of urban chaos.
Tuition runs $59,196 per year, and with room and board, you're looking at roughly $77,582 total annually. The college has an endowment of about $29.7 million, which is modest compared to some peers but helps support financial aid. With 1,492 students enrolled, classes stay small enough that professors know your name.
Ursinus accepts about 87% of applicants, so if your grades and test scores are solid, you have a real shot. About 77% of students graduate within six years. This is a school that works best for students who want a supportive environment and aren't looking for cutthroat competition—you'll find engaged peers and professors who care about your development, not a pressure cooker.
