Moravian is a quaint school in the small city of Bethlehem. It is very quiet on campus despite its location and it is aesthetically pleasing. The professors are extremely nice and the class sizes are usually between 15-30 students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Definitely check out the shops and restaurants on Main street! There's a lot of things to do if you check around. There are tons of clubs and organizations to choose from and a lot of events on campus and downtown are free for students. Also, every student should definitely go to a concert on South Campus. The Music department is excellent!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I am a freshman right now so I am getting my gen eds out of the way. Honestly, if you study and keep on top of your work it isn't too hard. That's the main thing though. The transition from high school to college can be difficult so keep in mind that you are responsible for studying. You won't get worksheets and note packets like in high school. You need to do those types of things for yourself. If you do that you'll be fine.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I'm a commuter but I have a bunch of friends on campus so I sort of know what it is like to live on campus. Honestly, it depends. Most of the dorms are really old besides the HILL. I know that housing gets better once you become an upperclassman.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food on campus is really good but it can be a bit pricey. I haven't gotten sick of the food since I don't eat it every day because of being a commuter and all but I know my friends who live on campus have gotten bored with the selection.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's tons of clubs and organizations to choose from. I go to concerts on South campus and events in the Historic district for fun. The Celtic Festival was incredible! There's a lot of restaurants and little shops on Main street that are fun to go to as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I'd say it's worth the money since I really like it here. If you want a large campus and city life Moravian isn't for you. But if you want a small college where everyone basically knows who you are and to not be treated like a number in the classroom Moravian is perfect for you!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The mile walk from North campus to South Campus on the last day of Freshman orientation. There are also a couple of supposedly haunted buildings on campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Pretty much anyone really.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's tons of things to do from service organizations to horse back riding. Sure there isn't a stable on campus but you get to go to a nearby one to take riding lessons and compete. Soccer, baseball, field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse are a big deal here. Also, the organization Impact schedules a lot of trips to New York City, Philadelphia, etc. throughout the year.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a bunch of sororities and fraternities. I want to join Gamma Sig next year. It is a service sorority.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is excellent and the cops are really nice and helpful.
