Where Exactly is Arcadia University Located?

I'm considering applying to Arcadia University because I've heard great things about their study abroad programs. Can anyone tell me where it's located and what the campus vibe is like?

Arcadia University is located in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania (with a Glenside mailing address). Glenside is a suburban area that offers a mix of residential neighborhoods and local businesses. It's about 12 miles north of Philadelphia, providing students with easy access to the amenities of a major city while maintaining a quieter, more relaxed campus environment.

The campus boasts gorgeous buildings and well-maintained grounds, lending to a visually appealing environment. It's especially known for its centerpiece, the castle-like Grey Towers, which was inspired by Alnwick Castle in England and adds an element of old-world charm.

As for the campus vibe, many students have described the environment as welcoming and inclusive. There's an emphasis on study abroad opportunities, as you've heard, because of their global engagement program, which encourages students to think beyond their familiar surroundings. The size of the university allows for a close-knit, collaborative community where students can form strong relationships with both classmates and professors. The student population is culturally diverse, which contributes to its vibrant social scene. They also offer a wide variety of clubs, activities, and athletics that helps students find their niche on campus.
