Arcadia University Community and Connections

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY

Nestled in the picturesque town of Glenside, Pa., Arcadia enjoys a prime location that enriches the student experience. With Glenside Station just a mile from campus, students can easily stroll to catch a train to Philadelphia -- a dynamic classroom extension that's just a 25-minute ride away. Adding to the allure is Glenside's charming community. A short walk will reveal eclectic shops, restaurants, and theaters. The town comes to life each year with events like Fall Fest, Rock the Knight food truck festival, and the Glenside Arts Festival. Our strategic location not only fosters a laid-back and tight-knit community but also invites students to broaden their world and learn in the heart of Philadelphia.
