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!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early for the more specific programs, and be patient while waiting for a decision. Getting yourself all worked up waiting doesn't make it any better.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at DelVal require you to think in a new light and adapt to the ever-changing world with speed and grace. This is the kind of school that is going to prepare you for the world whether you like it or not!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Yes, the dorms at DelVal are old fashioned but they are well maintained and the atmosphere in the halls is great. My dorm mates are my neighbors now, and they're the neighbors that you know by name and love.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Lots of students complain about the food at DelVal, but considering how hard the staff works to feed us all, I appreciate it. It's exciting to go in and say to hello to all the friendly staff, especially on days where they have made us something especially delicious!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Doylestown, PA is just a walk away, and in October they have many fun family events that DelVal students are welcome to. There is also a beautiful park a 10 minute walk from campus, complete with a marvelous wooden castle playground! Stop by the farmer's market for fresh ice cream and lunch, or just attend some of the fun-packed events sponsored by the Student Activities Council! If you're looking for more, take the train from our on-campus station to Philadelphia for the day!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is the place to be if you want to go into any agricultural or life science fields. And in two years, they are becoming a University. It'll be great to be viewed at a high standard, because that is what this school is all about!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
DelVal is built on 600 acres of farm. We have two cows with see through stomachs, and some students have to get up at dawn to milk the other cows. Take a walk to the beekeeping building to check out the hives or just stroll down to see the new calves. They're adorable!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are a quiet, outdoorsy person, this is the school for you. Quiet hours are enforced every single night, including weekends, and a short walk will have you in some very peaceful places.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a club for every major at DelVal, but you don't have to be in every major to join their club. Want something out of the ordinary? Join the beekeepers in the Apiary Club, or stop by to a Flower and Garden Club meeting! Every group is active and eager for more members!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Our Greek life is so expansive we have to have a council where they can all meet. Focused mostly on service, our brothers and sisters understand the importance of community and make it known to all. If you're not looking for men or women only, join our Co-Ed organization!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our personable security guards are always willing to help you with even the smallest problems. Need to know the train schedule? They've got it. Security is also efficient in its job-during the night they do regular patrols of buildings and the grounds, and respond to an emergency with cool and grace!
