I have completed my first semester here at Delaware Valley College and have learned so much already. The core classes like English 1 and Chemistry 1 tuned up my skills from high school in each of those areas. My major-specific courses were very interesting and the teachers taught all of the material in a way that we students could absorb it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It is a blast living here. All of the faculty, staff, and students have been very welcoming. The dorms are huge and well-kept. Also, the food is amazing. Served in buffet style at the dining hall, there is always something good to eat, so you will never go hungry!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although many would say that the tuition fees are a little pricey, they are definitely worth it. Delaware Valley College is one of the most hands-on colleges in the country. 500 hours of internship in one's field of study are required. This gives students a taste of the career path they have chosen to see if it is indeed the correct path for them. The experience also helps tremendously when applying for graduate/medical/veterinary school or for a job.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The campus is very calm and laid back. We are passionate about our sports teams and many times you will see our side of the bleachers packed with students. You will meet so many people here and make a ton of new friends. There is always something fun to do whether it be touring down at the farms, going for a run around the campus, hanging out in the recreation rooms, or just hanging out with people.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any student who is passionate about any type of ag-related career would do great here. From horses and cattle to hogs, sheep, and chickens. Also, the Criminal Justice and Psychology programs have become more noted for their success in readying students for careers in those fields. Students from any background are welcomed with open arms as their is little if any prejudice on campus.
