Student Life

College isn’t all lectures, labs and libraries.

At Ursinus, you’ll work hard in the classroom. But your education will also occur on fields, courts and stages, and in studios, residence-hall rooms and campus hangouts. You’ll want to carve out time for one (or three) of our more than 100 clubs and organizations, a theatrical performance or comedy show, or just some R&R in an Adirondack chair.

Uniquely Ursinus

The Bucket List

75+ things to do, see and experience, both on and off campus throughout your 4 years as an Ursinus Bear.
 

Ursinus Traditions

With 150 years of history, UC is home to a host of traditions. Here are a few that remain active.
 

6 Degrees of Ursinus

Check out some of our Hollywood and celebrity connections.
 

While there’s plenty to do on our beautiful 170-acre campus, if you need a little more action, Philadelphia, the nation’s 6th largest city, is only 25 miles away. Even closer, King of Prussia (11 miles) and Phoenixville (6 miles) offer countless dining, entertainment and shopping options.

In additon to our premier arts and athletic facilities, we are also one of the nation’s “Top Green” colleges, with an organic farm and access to a 60-mile wooded trail system right from campus. 

The Schellhase Commons student center opened in late spring 2020 and offers a multipurpose hub where students can grab swag in the bookstore and Starbucks coffee with friends.

Welcome home.

A friendly, vibrant campus.
We borrowed a few clips from our students’ phones for this video that highlights
everyday life on the Ursinus campus.
