YNK22 - I'm not a current student at DUCoM, but I've visited the campus, talked with admissions, and I know many students that are going to be there next year. Since there's two tracks, IFM and PIL, the student body is split (more going into IFM since PIL is capped somewhere around 70 students). The curriculums are structured differently so you probably won't get to know too many of the students from the other curriculum. In a sense, it's two smaller classes combined into one whole 1st-year class. You do have the option to try out PIL for a week at the start of the 1st year before you make a decision, and you can also switch at the end of the first year. I was told it's easier to go PIL --> IFM than IFM --> PIL because the latter requires some studying/practicing over the summer. One of my friends just completed MS2 in IFM and he swears by that curriculum (easier to skip class and watch lectures later), but the student that gave me the tour was in his second year in PIL and he seemed to love it as well. So, it's really personal preference on learning styles, and you'll be surrounded by students that chose the same track as you.
If anyone has questions on the location or living in the Philadelphia area, please feel free to ask! I grew up in the suburbs and currently live in the city so I can hopefully help!
Love PA and am very interested in this school.
