Transfer Student
Immaculata University is a small private catholic school located in East Whiteland Township. I transferred here from TCNJ due to their excellent psychology program, as well as availability in music therapy as a major. The campus is small but comfortable and easy to navigate. The class sizes are decent, ranging from 8 students to almost 30. I enjoy this atmosphere very much because it feels more personalized to me and my education here. The professors make the effort to get to know you as a person and student, and take the time to help each student with their own needs. This school makes your education more personalized and provides a multitude of opportunities for students ranging from internship experience, research opportunities, making connections working your field, and gaining scholarships. I am really enjoying my time as a student here at Immaculata University and would recommend it to someone who prefers a more personalized and direct college experience.
