You shouldn't come here if you are specifically looking for someone to marry or if you enjoy to have a few drinks now and then etc. This is a great school for people who's main focus is to live their lives for God. This has to be your main priority though, and if it is you'll love it here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tip for any prospective student is that even though it is a Christian college there are still people you need to be careful not to get involved with. Also don't over use your chapel skips!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The Academics here are good, and like any other college i'm sure if you procrastinate it's going to be too much for you to handle. Since there are about 1000 students on the entire campus the Professors have more time for the students and are always there to try and help them.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I think the dorm life is exceptional just for the fact that you have many different choices. This is the only school that i know of that has many single dorm rooms that even freshmen can get, each also have a bathroom that you only share with one person! They also have doubles and triples, student apartments with full kitchens and even married housing. If you are picky about the buildings being a little old there is even a premium housing option for girls that was built in the 2000's.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This is not one of Valley Forges strong qualities. Maybe i am just picky because i'm a vegetarian but most of the time i'd rather not eat than go to the cafeteria. They also force all students to have a meal plan which is very expensive so also not a plus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a taco bell, mcdonalds, wawa, giant, dollar tree, chinese buffet, pizza place, kmart all in the same plaza that is less than 2 miles away...walking distance if you are not lazy. There is also the king of prussia mall that's less than 10 miles away, and valley forge national park that is so beautiful on a nice spring day. On campus there really isn't that much to do, there's a pool table and air hockey table in a room with a television but most of the time there's going to be other people there. Things pretty much suck if you're a late nighter all the buildings close at 1am so you're forced to either go off campus, ditch your friends of the opposite gender and hang in a dorm or just be done for the night.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
One thing Valley Forge has going for it is it's ministry teams. There's hip hop and contemporary dance teams. There's a homeless ministry team, a nursing home ministry, a children's ministry team, an improv comedy team (that's really pretty funny), there is also a human video team and several others that i can't think of. So if you want to get involved you will not have a hard time finding it.
