  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

Awsome campus! Would love to go there. Offer exactly what I want.
Elizabeth from Bath, PA
A beautiful campus with all types of animals on campus and a student run farm. Great teachers and staff. Many clubs and activities to chose from.
Amber from Folcroft, PA
I am the happiest little zoo science student in the world here at Delaware Valley College. Our tight-knit community, fantastic learning environment, and people who have the same dreams as me have made the transition to college more manageable than I ever dreamed!
Celina from Hamden, CT
DVC is a wonderful school if you are an animal major and like a country environment close to a city. The people here really do care for each other and the hands-on experience is incredible. Everyone can find a program to join here without trying hard.
