This school is just plain awful.
When I was in high school, I didn't really know where I wanted to go, or what I wanted to do. So, I let my parents (Moravian Alumni) do the picking for me. Worst mistake of my life.

The year I spent at Moravian was the worst education I've ever gotten, the people there are all rich, snot-nosed brats who paid their way in, the coursework was a joke, the professors are likely the parents of all the snot-nosed brats walking around, and the advising tried to push me to take classes I did not want to take, not because they were required classes, but because they wanted me to pursue interests I did not have. (I was undecided at the time)

I left that school immediately and actually started attending Northampton Community College. Oddly enough, NACC is 10x the school Moravian was, and it's only a 2-year community college. The situation is just laughable. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself from being treated like you're still in High School. Oh, and by the way, unless you're a commuter, you're going to be forced to live on-campus. (Which is not very nice looking, and the buildings are basically falling apart from the inside out)

Question
I was introduced to Moravian by a facultyBrightEnglish
I was introduced to Moravian by a faculty member from my high school that is an alumn, and was so excited to attend after all of the great things she said. I loved my highschool, which had about 2,000 kids, and thought I would feel the same way about Moravian and would benefit from it's education program.

I promise I'm not a freak that stays in my room all weekend and likes to attend the "stitch and bitch" knitting club. Although it's a D3 school that loses every game, sports are the only thing these kids understand. The school doesn't have much school spirit, which probably sounds like it contradicts my last sentence, but sports become a priority with friends/weekends. It's a suitcase school, so the only kids that stay on the weekends are those who are on a sports team, which makes it difficult for other students like me to have fun. People seem friendly the first week or two of school, but since everyone is on a sports team, no one is willing to make other friends. The parties were fun at first, but after the excitement of college wears off, it's the same thing in a small, sweaty living room of an on-campus house.

The other day there was a heavier girl who tripped over a tree stump. She remained on the ground, and my friend and I watched about a dozen people walk by without saying anything or asking if she was okay. Luckily, the tree was okay and the girl as well, but this incident is the epitome of the student body atmosphere: everyone minds their own business.

The kids I know that love it are all on a sports team. I know a handful of kids that couldn't stay another semester and more are planning to transfer after this spring semester ends (including myself). The academics are hardly challenging - my high school may have been harder - and the fact is that if you're not challenged, aren't on a sports team and therefore can't get involved because the school doesn't offer a lot, then you spend your time and money doing nothing.

The only thing I ever found interesting at a party was a 300-lb lesbian giving a "lap dance."If this turns you on, go here. I'm transferring. See ya

Question
Moravian College was a big part of theEducation
Moravian College was a big part of the reason I got my job as a high school teacher. The principal was extremely impressed when he saw that I graduated from Moravian. I graduated in 2009 when teaching jobs were very scarce, so I was very thankful that the Moravian name got me the "in" I needed. I don't know how well prepared other alumni feel, but I have always felt like I knew exactly what to do once I started teaching, and I have MC to thank for that. I didn't make many friends during my time there (I was a commuter), but, then again, I was only really interested in an education, not a booze fueled social life. I did feel, however, that many of the other students were stuck-up and stand-offish, but there were some who were extremely friendly and intelligent. The faculty was brilliant, particularly the English/Education professors, and they always had time to talk to me about anything I needed. Overall, it wasn't a socially saturated experience, but I am thankful for everything I got out of attending Moravian College.
