Review of Moravian University

from East Stoudsburg, PA

Describe your college in three sentences.

I believe Moravian College is a wonderful place to expand on my knowledge and receive an education. The atmosphere is welcoming and the you will have no problem finding someone who really cares. I am glad I chose to come here, because I believe I can receive a great opportunity to become successful.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would tell prospective students to stop stressing out. I was so afraid of coming to college. I did not know how I was going to do in my classes, and most importantly how I would completely pay off all of my costs, but the staff and faculty helped me all the way. My main tip is to make sure you keep in contact with your professors and advisors because they have helped me a lot since I have been attending Moravian College. Another tip is to make sure you get involved. Join clubs, sports, and as many organizations that interest you, and attend the events that go on around campus. Faculty loves to see their students participating, and you get rewarded for it at the end of the year.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I believe the academic rigor, here, is top notch. I feel challenged in all of my classes, but I understand what I am being taught. Also my quizzes and exams show how well I have been understanding material. I feel like education is one of the most important aspects to Moravian College; teachers and students.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorm life is very satisfying. The rooms are cozy, yet spacious. I feel that there is enough space for you to keep your personal life content. My dorm, specifically Jo Smith, is wonderful. I love having air conditioning and heat. I also enjoy the all girls factor of it as well.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food here is pretty good. There are four main cafes you can dine at, two on north campus and two on south campus. My favorite places are the Blue and Grey Cafe, on north campus, and Sandela's, on south campus. Both places have a little market inside, which is pretty cool. The Blue and Grey Cafe is where you will find a wide variety of pizza, The Grill, The Deli, and the Starbucks. Sandela's is where you would find the healthy but delicious meals that involve pizza, wraps, pan-inis, and more. The other two cafes are your usual dining halls. They tend to serve a lot of comfort foods. I love it.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are so many activities that are held on campus. Every week they show a movie, recently out of theaters, from Wednesday to Saturday, so your schedule will allow you to make it to at least one viewing. There are also shopping trips held every Friday, and the four venues rotate every week. Also many clubs hold activities on campus throughout the week. Lastly, the quality of just having your friends to hang out with is the greatest.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I definitely believe that Moravian College is a bang for the buck. I can see myself enjoying my college career here, and I would not trade it in for another. I believe the education, environment, and achievement is well acquired.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I am not too sure about traditions, but an unusual location would have to the president's house. I find it rather weird that the president lives so close to the students. Literally, his house is right next to one of the residential dorms on campus. I actually think it is kind of cool, because it shows that the president cares about the connection between the college, and the students.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Moravian College is great for athletes, musicians, future nurses, people that can easily get along with others, and people that keep to themselves. The great thing about Moravian is that you feel welcomed no matter what. One important note is that you have to be serious and dedicated about your work.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs you can join, and activities you can participate in. I am a freshman and I joined the step club and BSU. I have been a part of so many activities because of those clubs, and just because of my friends and me getting out there. The second week of college, they have a huge organization fair where you can join an endless amount of clubs. They also reward you with a prize, which is a pro. One thing I am always told is to get involved starting from freshman year, because you will regret it if you do not.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I am not too sure abut the Greek Life at Moravian, because I am a freshman, but you can definitely tell the sisterhood and brotherhood of the greek life. On the weekends they have mixers where a fraternity, and its sister sorority, have a get together and they just hang out and keep the greek life alive. You also see them a lot during homecoming, because sorority and fraternity, as well as clubs, build their own float.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I give Campus Safety a big thumbs up. They have such a welcoming personality, I have easily gotten to know my campus safety. They make sure they introduce themselves, and if they ever pass by you, they always make sure they greet you. It also seems like they are always working, especially on the weekends. They keep the campus safe and secure for the students.
