Bryn Athyn is a small school, with a spiritual basis. The school is attempting to expand through athletics, but is still trying to retain their core values. The school is part of a very tight knit community
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come in with an open mind. You're going to learn a lot about a new religion, so it is important to have an open mind.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are condensed into trimesters, so there is a lot of information to take in during a short time. Teachers do a good job of balancing work out for you so that you're not overwhelmed. On average you can expect 2 hours of outside work per hour of class work.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The freshman dorms, are decently sized for dorm living. However, they don't have fantastic amenities. Once you get to sophomore year and up the dorms are awesome!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Typical Dining Hall food. The meal plan is good though because you can go up as many times as you like, and you can take as much as you like with you. The only down side is that the 3 meal times that are set are one hour each, and on weekends you have to use the High School Dining hall.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are sporting events almost every weekend. There is an outdoor volleyball court, and an completely redone social center, with enormous TV and surround sound, a pool table, and air hockey table. There is also a director of social life, so there are weekly events for students to attend, most are free of charge. Only trips cost money.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Great education for half the price of other schools in the area.
