Student's Review

Review of Moravian University

from Allentown, PA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This school absolutely pushes you to your limits and beyond, but not in an entirely over-stressed manner. Students here have teachers who are both mentors and friends. The professors here make sure that students learn all the material that is needed to be learned. The books in the library offer more opportunities to learn and delve into intellectual pursuits outside of the classroom. With engaging classes, students learn from the professors, other students, and even themselves. Internships and opportunities for research, volunteering, community service, and more allow for an even greater spectrum of knowledge and wisdom and experience.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The students here are very friendly and receptive to others. Most of the students here are of the same general socio-economic level, though. The culture club fosters relationships with those who are different from you and allows you to make new friends. The campus is the perfect size for making and keeping good friends. The shops and parks and sites around the campus and in the city make relaxing escapes possible in an affordable manner.

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

The school is a bit pricey: $31, 250 per year, minus room and board. The bang for the buck though, is there. The learning is amazing and wide, the opportunities are endless, and the teachers and students are engaging, intelligent, personable individuals. Financial aid and scholarhsips and student loans are varied and many, though. The food in the Blue-and-Gray Cafe (Moravian's small cafe) doesn't have the best food, but the larger cafeteria does. There are many clubs and activities and sports to join. If you want, you could start your own club if Moravian doesn't have what you want.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you have a good, solid GPA and SAT scores: you can get alot of financial aid from these high scores. Being in the top 5% of your class and having around a 2100 or so on your SAT's can get you a full scholarship. Being in the top 25% of your class and having at least an 1850 on your SAT'S can get you a scholarhsip that pays for at least half of your tuition.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Hard-working Competitive, but not cut-throat competitive Intelligent Being willing to be pushed intellectually, socially, philosophically, and physically if you're into sports. Open to new ideas Engaging Enjoy small classes
