  There is so much wrong with this institution. The sociology professor "Dr." Dahringer is unqualified, meal hall is overpriced for what it is, residence is a scam that will charge you for every penny you're worth, the student body is arrogant and obnoxious, and lastly when I tried to get my transcript from the university after leaving they never got it to me. Whatever they tell you about the place is a lie and all that you see is an illusion. Its a money grabbing institution that does not care about their students rather the money in their pockets. My advice is to look elsewhere for an education and think twice about Acadia. The reason I am going out of my way to write this is because I was cut from the football team for whatever reason the coach had. Student athletes are treated as a product, not a person. I was cut in the middle of the summer, long after training camp was over. I had no chance to cancel my lease, collect my belongings, and most importantly transfer programs to another school. Bottom line is Acadia does not care about you. Do not go there.

  As a faculty member in the Dept. of Psychology, this is what I have to say to potential students (and, if relevant, their parents): If you are pursuing an education outside of STEM, don't come to Acadia or any other university unless you can be given evidence that you will be exposed to a range of perspectives and told to decide for yourself what is the best way for you to contribute to society. These days, universities (including Acadia) are committing themselves to social justice, which means that you'll be exposed to a limited range of perspectives; this in turn will limit what you can contribute to society.
