    Am learning a lot

    This school absolutely pushes you to your limits and beyond, but not in an entirely over-stressed manner. Students here have teachers who are both mentors and friends. The professors here make sure that students learn all the material that is needed to be learned. The books in the library offer more opportunities to learn and delve into intellectual pursuits outside of the classroom. With engaging classes, students learn from the professors, other students, and even themselves. Internships and opportunities for research, volunteering, community service, and more allow for an even greater spectrum of knowledge and wisdom and experience.
    Am enjoying being here

    The students here are very friendly and receptive to others. Most of the students here are of the same general socio-economic level, though. The culture club fosters relationships with those who are different from you and allows you to make new friends. The campus is the perfect size for making and keeping good friends. The shops and parks and sites around the campus and in the city make relaxing escapes possible in an affordable manner.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a bit pricey: $31, 250 per year, minus room and board. The bang for the buck though, is there. The learning is amazing and wide, the opportunities are endless, and the teachers and students are engaging, intelligent, personable individuals. Financial aid and scholarhsips and student loans are varied and many, though.
    The food in the Blue-and-Gray Cafe (Moravian's small cafe) doesn't have the best food, but the larger cafeteria does. There are many clubs and activities and sports to join. If you want, you could start your own club if Moravian doesn't have what you want.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you have a good, solid GPA and SAT scores: you can get alot of financial aid from these high scores. Being in the top 5% of your class and having around a 2100 or so on your SAT's can get you a full scholarship. Being in the top 25% of your class and having at least an 1850 on your SAT'S can get you a scholarhsip that pays for at least half of your tuition.
    Great for these types of students

    Hard-working
    Competitive, but not cut-throat competitive
    Intelligent
    Being willing to be pushed intellectually, socially, philosophically, and physically if you're into sports.
    Open to new ideas
    Engaging
    Enjoy small classes

    Bang for the buck

    The school is almost 40k a YEAR. You do no where near get what you pay at all. The school is all about appearance not actually quality.
    Tips for prospective students

    Moravian isn't diverse. So if you're looking for a school with different kinds of people, this is the wrong school. The school has it's own set of requirements you must meet in which you have to take one or more classes of essentially every major subject (ex. Spanish, Religion, Musi, Gym.. etc). So you're essentially paying money for classes that you don't even need for your major or even in general to take. Everyone at this school knows each other very well so keep that in mind. This school runs like a business, they will gladly take your money without giving you a proper education.
    Great for these types of students

    Only go to this school if it was your LAST RESORT, considering the school accepts almost everyone who applies. I know people there who didn't even a 2.0 gpa and still got in!

    A strong academic school with small class sizes and helpful professors. Students interested in the sciences and or education will find exceptional programs. Strong individual attention, but a lack of upper level classes due to school population.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to work hard in most classes. Moravian professors typically assign large workloads so a good work ethic and organization is required. Join clubs and other groups on campus as much as possible. It is important to be active on campus and to get to know new people, instructors and administrators.
    Dorm Life

    I am a commuter.
    Food and Dining

    The food is decent but is limited in choices, which can get very repetitive. The food in the market place is buffet style so you get a decent amount of food for the price but the food is of lower quality.
    What to do for fun

    Join clubs and sports teams. If you do not feel confident enough to join a sports team at Moravian there are plenty of intramural sports you may join. There are also clubs for almost any interest you may have and if not it is simple to create your own club. A new fitness center has been built with a plethora of new machines to meet any of your exercising needs.
    Bang for the buck

    Moravian is on the expensive side, which is not surprising for a private college; however, Moravian is generally very generous in awarding scholarships to deserving individuals. If you get a decent scholarship to this school it is definitely worth your money to attend this school especially if you wish to work in the Lehigh Valley. Moravian has high prestige among employers in the area.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are a number of odd bits of architecture scattered throughout the campus. They are often obscure and random, which brings me to question their purpose. I could think of many better ways to spend money to improve Moravian aesthetically.
    Great for these types of students

    Moravian is great for students who want to attend a school that are motivated and hard working. This school is an intellectual challenge and offers many new points of view that may be alien to students. If you attend Moravian you must have a strong desire to strive for academic excellence because of the large workloads and high expectations from professors.
    Campus Safety

    The campus is very safe at Moravian. There has been no major incidents that I have heard of since starting. Campus police is a small group of individuals, but there are is not any major crime in the area to deal with.

    moravian is a small school, that is very good in producing well-rounded students. it is very easy to get involved in the school, and to build up your resume. it is also very easy to build relationships with faculty and staff, which is a plus when it comes to resumes and if you ever need recommendations.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you like a small school.
    get involved in extracurriculars.
    work hard in classes, and get help when you need it.
    Academic Rigor

    classes vary in difficulty depending on major and teacher, but you can not slack off in any class because you will fall behind.
    Dorm Life

    your dorm-mates are your family, everyone becomes very tight knit. you will make a lot of life long friends, and there are always new people on the floor so you will have a chance to meet many others you may not see in classes.
    Food and Dining

    blue and grey is great, however you don't get much for one swipe so you almost always end up double swiping. the cafeteria is always changing, but sometimes the food gets dried out or is just tasteless by the time you eat. other than that it is great theres always something to try.
    What to do for fun

    there are intramural teams that you can play on as long as you have a team together. you can join a club team, a club, or start your own. you can play pick up games in the arc. there are also things to do in very close proximity to the school like eating or drinking at roosevelt's or getting ice cream at the cup. you can walk into town to shop or get a bite to eat. there is also a club on main street. moravian also has buses that run on fridays to the lehigh valley mall or the promenade shops that are possible because of impact, they also do concerts and comedy shows for the school and public to attend. oh yeah and we like to party on saturday nights.
    Bang for the buck

    even though moravian is expensive, it is also a private school so you are paying for a better education. moco will make you a well rounded student and you pay for ways to better the school. you also don't have to pay for things like sporting events, or gym memberships like at most state schools.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    we have a couple of buildings on campus that are haunted, yes students still live in these buildings.
    Great for these types of students

    people who want to go to school for their education first, sports second. artistic kids. nursing majors.
    Clubs and Activities

    so many to join, most of which give back to the community some way or another. other clubs are geared toward your majors and interests. and of course we have our athletics.
    Greek Life

    we do have greek life on campus
    Campus Safety

    campus safety is always around, however sometimes they will purposely try to get us in trouble for anything and it is kind of annoying.

    Am learning a lot

    Classes are challenging enough to keep you on your toes, and interesting enough to leave you wanting more.
    Am enjoying being here

    The people here are so friendly, the campus is gorgeous, and the classes are great. I still feel as if i'm on vacation in a colonial town.
    Bang for the buck

    Bernie-Willie freshman dorm leave something to be desired. tiny and really hot through most of september. Other than that, the school really tries to keep up with the desires of the students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring a window fan if you're in bernie-willie, the rooms are stuffy and not air-conditioned. Eat down on south campus as much as you can. the food up north gets boring really quickly, but good food is just a shuttle ride away.

    Also, everyone is really nice here. You can go up to a random person and start a conversation. Make friends!
    Great for these types of students

    Smart people with slight quirks fit in really well here, especially those who appreciate history. There's a huge variety of people here, anyone can find their place.

    Am learning a lot

    Moravian College pushes students to learn as much as possible in the short time they attend the school. It is not a place for underachievers. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities on top of challenging classes; it makes for a vigorous schedule that requires organization and an extreme thirst for learning and involvement.
    Am enjoying being here

    Because I am a very involved student, my schedule can be very stressful at times. However, my teachers and fellow students are always more than willing to help out, and they are very understanding of my course work load. My experience at Moravian so far has been a good one that's been full of opportunities for me.
    Bang for the buck

    Moravian is what you make of it, so get involved in extracurriculars and do as much as you can with your time there. The cost is a little steep, but Moravian's financial aid department is very good with helping out and offering grants to students in need.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be organized, be prepared to learn, and get involved! Don't let a heavy schedule intimidate you.
    Great for these types of students

    Moravian is perfect for students who are eager to learn, organized, and who love to be involved.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot at Moravian College. I love learning because the professors make class interesting and are able to have a relationship with students due to small class sizes. I continue to learn each day because you are pushed to your fullest potential and that is what I love the most. Professors do not give up on you at Moravian, so do not give up on them!
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love the Bethlehem area. Moravian College allows me to live in an area where I feel safe and able to have fun. The small campus size ensures that you know a lot of your classmates, of all ages. I enjoy the professors and the classes. The Deans make class selection easy and rewarding. I also enjoy going to a Liberal Arts school because you get a better education. You obtain wisdom for wisdom's sake not just knowledge for your major.
    Bang for the buck

    Moravian College make it affordable for you to attend college. You get a lot for your money. Liberal Arts educations are the best, in my opinion. Paying extra for a private school give you an education you cannot receive from a public or state school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always reach for your goals. Your advisers, deans, and professor help you achieve anything. Everything is possible if you just work hard. Moravian College is an excellent school for you to become someone and earn a degree. Here you will be able to conquer and achieve more than you thought possible. Sure it is a small school but it is a fantastic school. Making friends was so easy here so do not go to schools your friends are going to. Make new friends, they may end up being the greatest friends you ever had.
    Great for these types of students

    Moravian is a great place for students who love to challenge themselves. It is a great place to learn anything and everything not just knowledge for your major. Moravian College is for those who want to be the greatest they can be!

    Am learning a lot

    Moravian does teach you a lot.The professors are hands on and don't mind helping out at all. You can get started on learning about your major right away. Plus you take 4 classes instead of 5 classes while earning just the same amount of credits or more compared to other colleges. With the right amount of effort it is very easy to get A's or B's in the classes. Also, you learn a lot about college life. There are learning communities that can help anyone adapt to college.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a small campus, which makes it easy to get all the benefits Moravian has to offer. There is always something going on, something new to do.
    Bang for the buck

    You get what you pay for at Moravian. Everything that they have written about themselves is true.
    Tips for prospective students

    Have a planner that you can write all your assignments due dates.
    Be open to try new things.
