“Eastern’s location is the perfect mix of a charming, small-town feel and easy access to the city and other nearby attractions,” said business major Oakley Prinzing. “The campus is surrounded by scenic suburbs, and with a quick train ride, you can be in Philly in no time. It’s great having the best of both worlds — peaceful spaces to study and relax, but also plenty of opportunities to explore and have fun off-campus.”
