I have already met with a few of the teachers (teachers from my major and those not from my major) all of which have been great to speak with. They seem so intelligent and willing to share their knowledge with everyone. They seem so close and friendly with the students, building great relationships, that it is impossible not to learn anything.
Will enjoy being here
Being a small school you get to know everyone. Plus it seems that the sky is the limit at DelVal. There are so many opportunities available to students. The surrounding community just adds to the charm and great opportunities of the school.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Generally private schools are more expensive than state schools. DelVal is no exception. My advice would be to work hard to find scholarships. The school has many for freshman and for upperclassman as well. Do you research so you don't miss out on any free money that may go unused. The price is high but the education will certainly be worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Well since I have yet to officially begin school at DelVal I can not give loads of tips. I can however say that the earlier you send in the $400 down payment in the spring that reserves your room, the better pick of housing you get. The $400 is just for freshman (I believe it goes down to $200 for each other year). But I sent in my money as soon as I was accepted to DelVal and I was almost assured the housing I requested.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
*Reminder it is an agricultural school. But I can say I have found that there are many students here for majors that hardly have anything or even nothing to do with agriculture. DelVal is wonderful for anything equine. It is a small school, but I find that more personal relationships can be formed.
