who will you be after four years on this campus?

will you find your identity? or will you seek it out?

will you spend more time in nature or on your iPad?

will you graduate with memories of an internship or excitement for the job it got you?

will a minor in Political Science become a major career move?

will you talk about things or will you do things?

will one of these buildings sport your name in the future?

will your viewpoints expand as much as your music collection?


Not every college makes it a point to learn all of its

students’ first names. Not every college thinks you

should be able to call a professor’s cell phone. Not

every college encourages you to create a club based

on any hobby you have. Not every college gives you

an idyllic campus in the middle of one of the country’s

most vibrant cities. Not every college has professors

who will stay after class for 20 minutes to help students

better understand a lesson. Not every college has its

president’s dogs greet you in her office.

Truth be told, Chestnut Hill College doesn’t want to

be every other college. We’d rather be a school where

every student receives personal attention from faculty.

Where small classes lead to big breakthroughs in your

education. Where we don’t just build résumés, we build

a community.

When you walk through campus as a Chestnut Hill

College student, you’re not just another face in the

crowd. You might be the All-Conference point guard

and the editor of The Griffin. You might be training for

a marathon in between rehearsals for the upcoming

Association of the Performing Arts play. Or you might

be the VP of the Archery Club who also happens to

have the most Instagram followers on campus.

A student should get lost in a book, not a crowd.

At Chestnut Hill College, everyone has an identity. we’ll help you find yours.

Walking around the Chestnut Hill College campus, you

can’t help but feel the history—storied traditions that

still inform everything we do today. Classic architecture

transports you to another time, while hallways seem

to echo with past scholarly discussion. Every pillar and

promenade opens your eyes to what the Sisters of Saint

Joseph’s envisioned almost 90 years ago. Yet it is not

simply an architectural style; within these stone facades,

you’ll uncover a modern and relevant curriculum built on

a classical educational foundation. Over 85 years of tradition have built our philosophy of

holistic education. We’ll work side-by-side with you,

ensuring your education goes beyond the lecture hall,

off the reading list and out of the library. We emphasize

the growth of the whole person not only through a

liberal arts education but through an exciting social life,

a healthy spiritual life and a well-rounded active life.

When you leave Germantown Avenue at graduation,

we’ll have you prepared for not only professional

success, but ready to truly make a difference within

your community.

A laminated student iD card

won’t scratch the surface of your

true identity.

Somewhere between First Year orientation and the time

you flip your graduation cap up in the air, things will

change. You’ll make friends. Discover new interests.

Find new opinions. Engage in new debates. Sample new

cuisines. Learn more about yourself than at any other time

in your life.

At Chestnut Hill College, we encourage you on every

step of your journey from inquisitive First Year student to

confident senior. We don’t believe in pre-cast stereotypes

of who a college student is or should be, like “bro,”

“hipster” or “techie.”

Chestnut Hill students are the editor of The Aurelian

Yearbook and student ambassador for the Admissions

Office, like Cassandra Gutierrez (Class of 2015). They are

the member of multiple honor societies and a volunteer at

the Council for Exceptional Children, like Kate Macomber

(Class of 2014). They are the tennis stars, the Computer

Club members and the service volunteers—and more often

than not, they can’t be summed up in just one “the” label.

They are smart, confident, interesting, spiritual, worldly,

well-rounded and fun people. They come from cities all

around the world. They’re people you want by your side in

the Student Government Association and at movie night

in Fontbonne Hall. Chestnut Hill College has created an

environment that both teaches and fosters this kind of

versatile individuality, giving uniquely passionate students

both a home and a launching pad.

Everything at CHC ties back to our mission: to provide

students with a holistic education in an inclusive Catholic

community marked by academic excellence, shared

responsibility, personal and professional growth, service to

one another, to the global community, and concern for the earth.

We don’t believe in pre-cast stereotypes of who a college student is or should be, like

“bro,” “hipster” or “techie.”

A classroom at Chestnut Hill College isn’t simply a room

with four walls, some desks, a chalkboard and a lecturing

professor. It’s a place where lively discussion takes place.

Where a professor knows every person in the class and

adapts her lecture to suit individual learning styles. Where

knowledge is gained, friendships are formed and even

the occasional global issue is tackled. Yes, our classrooms

have four walls, but there is nothing confining about them.

In fact, we believe that a curriculum should go beyond

the classroom. Students should get out, get involved with

their communities and get wise to the world—and few

students represent that idea better than Kelly Dennis

(Class of 2015). With a combination of book smarts and

street smarts (and a bunch of other smarts we don’t have

time to cover), Kelly shows us that a holistic educational

approach truly means the growth of the whole person.

Kelly studies accounting, minors in Spanish, plays on the

tennis team, participates in campus ministry and even

started a club that helps sponsor education in Uganda.

This holistic approach inspires a passion for learning,

builds a collaborative learning community and creates not

just students of specific majors, but students of life.

We always keep our classes small and intimate, but we

also believe in offering a robust range of opportunities

to help support your learning. It begins with a faculty

that focuses on giving each student dedicated attention;

because there’s no one right way to teach a classroom of

twenty unique students. From there, each aspect of the

Chestnut Hill College experience is designed to help you

reach your academic potential.

Our campus boasts computer labs with the most updated

systems, a state-of-the-art TV studio and even a science

center. You can have the reference desk in our library look

at your paper before you hand it in, then sit down with

your professor afterward to discuss it. No matter your goals

or major, you’ll have every resource at your fingertips—it’s

just up to you to take advantage.

Talk to any student on campus and he

or she is probably involved in a club or six.

Getting involved truly is a way of life here. Joining an

organization isn’t a résumé booster; it’s an opportunity

to find people with similar interests, learn how to

organize and lead and occasionally have meetings with

free refreshments and a fortress of pizza boxes. What’s

There are plenty of existing organizations that you can

join. If you’re into green living, it could be the Earth Club,

or if you’re more into Red and Blue lines, you could

join the Student Government Association. And if your

hobby or interest doesn’t have a club, you can always

Getting out of the classroom and into the world is a

lesson that the Sisters of Saint Joseph’s have been

preaching since Chestnut Hill College was founded in

1924. The Sisters were never ones to shy away from

hard work and were known to roll up their sleeves and

help others. This ethos finds its way throughout the

school, as students constantly volunteer for causes near

and dear to their hearts.

Each year, retreats led by Campus Ministry attract those

who seek not just academic, but spiritual reflection and

growth. This group, which welcomes all faiths, also helps

guide students through their time on campus.

Having such a deeply rooted tradition of faith has

helped Chestnut Hill College thrive for over 85 years,

as we have adapted and embraced the challenges of

modern education. In fact, the campus you will enter as

a First Year student will be radically different than the

one you tearfully leave as a senior. Take for example the

land we purchased at nearby Sugarloaf, which nearly

doubled the size of campus. Truly, we are a college on

the rise.

One of the most important classroom lessons is knowing when to abandon the classroom altogether.

Having such a deeply rooted tradition of faith has helped Chestnut Hill College thrive for over 85 years, as we have adapted and embraced the challenges of modern education.

Opponents don’t always know what a Griffin is before a game.

Afterward, this is not a problem.

Stepping out of Fournier Hall, you glance down to the

bottom of the hill to see some furious competition. The

softball team turning a double play. The tennis squad

hitting cross-court winners. The soccer team dominat-

ing the goal. Everywhere you look, you know that the

Griffins are serious about their athletics.

With 14 Division II teams, Chestnut Hill College

competes with schools up and down the Eastern

seaboard, battling for conference, regional and national

championships. The basketball teams draw crowds in

Sorgenti Arena and our outdoor teams frustrate op-

ponents on a brand new, fully lit, artificial turf field. A

fitness center features modern equipment and facilities

designed to elevate any Griffin’s athletic ability. In

the last few years, the Chestnut Hill College Athletics

Program has cemented itself as a regional powerhouse

in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, producing

CACC Women’s Soccer Player of the Year Lauren Riff

and National Lacrosse Hall of Fame member and coach

of the men’s team, Brian Dougherty. We produce

student-athletes who are leaders on the field and in the

classroom. Let us know if you’d like to join the surge.With 14 Division II teams, Chestnut Hill College competes with schools up and down the Eastern seaboard, battling for conference, regional and national championships.

Our students are always studious, but when a game

is on they turn in their textbooks for face paint and a

Chestnut Hill College T-shirt to cheer on their fellow

Griffins. When the Griffins basketball squad steps on the

court, nearly the entire campus turns out to yell at the

top of their lungs. But it’s not simply basketball—all of

the sports teams draw their own faithful following

at the games, and the mighty Griffin mascot patrols the

sidelines. Which team will make you lose your voice?

There are also plenty of opportunities for students to

get into the games themselves. With Fairmount Park

surrounding the campus, there are chances to bike, hike,

fish and run. And when the weather is nice on campus,

you’ll always be able to find a game of tennis, basketball,

Ultimate Frisbee, softball or even Quidditch. Just be

sure to stock up on Gatorade.

Welcome to your new home. You’ll come to campus

to find a great space for you and your roommate to

discover your inner interior designer. Our four residence

halls, each with a distinct personality, offer single and

double rooms as well as suites. They have enough room

to fit all of your gear—the essentials of a hard-working

college student: futon, TV with surround sound, mini-

fridge, video game system and, of course, some books.

But it’s not just the space that makes the place—it’s the

people. You’ll be on a hall with a crew of students who

will quickly become your extended family. They’ll be the

friends you do everything with: Bikram yoga, nostalgic

games of kick the can, Restaurant Week, Sixers games,

epic video game marathons and anything else you can

When you walk across the idyllic campus of Chestnut Hill College, you’ll think to

yourself, “Now this is what a college is supposed to look like.” You’ll see students

shouldering backpacks crossing manicured quads between French Gothic and Italian

Romanesque buildings. Not sure what those terms mean? Well, we could tell you—

At 10 AM, you can be deep in Fairmount Park, enjoying

the solitude offered by a riverside run. Deer and assorted

wildlife are the only creatures in sight. By noon, you can

be in Fishtown, Philadelphia, scouring boutiques for

handmade couture and popping into cafes and hidden

gems for nourishment. It’s a great benefit of our location,

as we truly have the best of both worlds: a quaint, safe,

charming campus on the outskirts of one of America’s

largest cities and cultural epicenters.

Not surprisingly, Chestnut Hill College is in Chestnut

Hill. It’s a unique, historic section of Philadelphia

that seems almost too good to be true: cobblestone

streets, cafes and boutiques, neighbors greeting

neighbors and a whole lot of other activities that will

have you browsing your thesaurus for words that mean

“quaint.” And if that’s not enough, just a short drive or

bus ride away is the shopping paradise of the King of

Prussia Mall, the largest mall on the East Coast.

In 20-some-odd minutes, you can go from our serene campus to the metro-suburban

streets of Manayunk and Conshohocken to the bustling downtown of Philadelphia.

Sure, we all know about the history and the artery-attacking sandwiches, but

Philadelphia is a city that will take all four years of college (and then some) to discover.

There is no such thing as a typical week. You might discover a new unsigned band at

Johnny Brenda’s in Fishtown on a Tuesday. Hit a Phillies game on Wednesday. Hone

your bowling and Big Lebowski quotes at North Bowl lanes on Thursday. Gallery hop in

Old City on First Friday. Discover what bibimbap is at a Korean restaurant on Saturday.

Grab brunch and check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Sunday morning

(admission is free before noon). As a student in the Philadelphia area, you’ll be among

students from over 86 other colleges. So you’ll be in good company. It’s all included in

the Chestnut Hill College experience.

Fairmount Park and Chestnut Hill College are intertwined simply because you step off

one and go right into the other. That means unbelievable access to one of the world’s

largest urban parks, which is a sprawling outdoor maze of quiet streams, roaring rivers,

natural wildlife and one particularly rare species: outdoorus loverous, a person who can’t

get enough fresh air. Stroll the park in the fall when the leaves burst with thousands

of colors, engage in an epic snowball fight during the season’s first snowfall or simply

wander around aimlessly on the first beautiful spring day of the year. It’s a year-round

biology lab for our students.

pursue a post-graduate degree at some of the world’s

most prestigious programs at schools like Bryn Mawr,

Dartmouth, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Oxford.

Chestnut Hill College is the first step to becoming

the person you want to be. And it will provide you the

What advice would you offer a future Chestnut Hill

College student?

CHC has what so many larger schools lack: accessibility. You

have brilliant minds down the hall with open doors and chairs.

Embrace it. As a freshman I proposed the College start a

“Muggle” version of Quidditch, and two years later I was

talking about it on ESPN. The best part about the smallness of

CHC is that it can be as big as you want.

around campus and see what the Chestnut Hill College

experience is all about. Appointments are available

Monday through Friday and select Saturdays. We also

have several open houses throughout the year.
