Anaiah - 12/31/2023

Honestly, it’s not a bad college to attend. Like every freshemen, it is a hard adjustment but they give you the resources to get into a groove of things. The people here are really polite and inclusive. You won’t feel left out unless you separate yourself from others. Some professors are better than others but not all of them are bad.

Seda - 12/15/2020

Jefferson East Falls is a place that gives you a warm hug each time you step on campus. It's a small school, so you tend to build a second family pretty quickly. The class sizes are small, so you get to have a personal connection with your professors. The dorms aren't bad, and some of them are actually pretty nice. The campus is small, park-like, and beautiful. I always feel safe, even alone at night. Even though we are small, sports are still taken seriously, as well as academics. Overall, amazing school.

Julia

This is a review for the center city campus, not East Falls. I think this is a great school for those interested in the healthcare field and it is also a great school for commuters, especially since it is a few blocks away from Jefferson station, PATCO, and the broad street line. The tuition is a bit much however.

Ruchoma

This is a agreat sschool that has a number of health-related programs. This is not the place to go if you are looking for parties because most students are pretty career focused. This school utilizes a number of cutting-edge educational techniques and theories. They also have a cool interaction between humanities and healtcare programs.

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Thomas Jefferson University is %. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and tell myself about college I would say picking the college that I want to go to is the most important part of planning my future college life. I would tell myself to be prepared to grow up very fast because when I am in college I am by myself. The professors do not care if I do not make it to class it is my responsiblity to make it to class everyday. I would also tell myself that I need to start working on my organizational skills now instead of my freshman year in college. Organization is key to getting through college. Friends are non existent at least for my first year in college. I will be extremely busy with papers and academic activities that I will not have much of a social life. One last thing I would want to tell myslef is that it is going to be very hard and sometimes I might want to give up but I should continue to push myself because having my degree and working in a profession that I love is completely worth it in the end.

  12. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Someone that does not know what they want to do in life and what career path they want to follow. Students that are not serious about school would not be good for this program because it is set up so that if a student is to fail one course they will have to start the program over the following year from the beginning and their financial aid will not be reimbursed. This means that the student must stay focused and have a very positive attitude because obtaining a nursing degree is completely different than obtaining any other type of degree.
