Hey friends, I'm considering applying to Pennsylvania Military College for my undergrad studies. I'd love to hear from anyone who's been there or knows someone who has. What's the campus vibe like? How about the academic rigor? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
I'm sorry for any confusion, but it seems there's been a mistake. Pennsylvania Military College ceased to exist in 1972 and was succeeded by Widener University. Although the military tradition of the university is kept alive through the Dauntless Battalion, an Army ROTC program.
The Dauntless Battalion serves as the university's signature leadership development program and is one of the oldest and most respected military programs in the Northeast. Members have several chances for professional development, leadership, and military discipline in addition to their academic studies. Despite the military aspect, the campus vibe at Widener is not significantly different from other schools. It's a very welcoming community with a wide range of clubs and activities.
As for academic rigor, Widener University is known to have a strong academic focus across its programs. The coursework is designed to be challenging but manageable with good time management. The support services are well-regarded, with resources such as tutoring, academic skills workshops, and personal advising regularly available to students.
That said, it would be very beneficial to reach out to Widener University directly to gather more up-to-date and specific information about campus life, academic rigor, and the Dauntless Battalion program to help in your decision-making process. I hope this information helps you in your college search!
