Review of Muhlenberg College

from Massapequa, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Muhlenberg has a small campus and student body, but it provides a caring and intimate environment for students. Students are encouraged to customize their experience by becoming involved in the many clubs and activities offered on campus.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Great if you are looking for a small school with personal attention and an intimate feel. Not a good fit if partying is your priority.

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

Muhlenberg has a great academic reputation. It is known for its strong liberal arts foundation and its pre-med sciences and theater arts programs. Professors are all caring and extremely smart. You definitely get more personal attention here than at a state school.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Avoid the all-girls freshman dorm! It is tough to be social if you live there. They started building some nice new suites during my senior year. They also offer college-owned off-campus apartments for juniors and seniors. These are a perk if you can get one through the lottery.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Wide variety of food with some fresh, local options. Good vegetarian selection as well. The campus dining program focuses on sustainability.

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

If you are social you will find things to do. Dorm parties for the underclassmen and a few local bars for the 21+ crowd. Decent selection of clubs, intramural sports, and other activities.
