Moravian is a quaint school in the small city of Bethlehem. It is very quiet on campus despite its location and it is aesthetically pleasing. The professors are extremely nice and the class sizes are usually between 15-30 students.
Paige from Saylorsburg, PA

moravian is for the serious student. don't let the sticker shock scare you off because if you're hs grades were good, the scholarships will make your tuition less than the most expensive state schools! even the toughest of classes are doable because the professors care about you and want you to succeed.
