Overall it's a decent college with decent programs. However, I must warn you not to let your guard down when you go. The faculty was great and the group of friends that I made were great but the overall quality of the students left much to be desired. I ended up having to work at the college cafeteria in order to pay for school and many of the peers that I served were downright rude and disrespectful just because I worked there. There were a large number of fakes there. Of course this can change year-to-year and there are some nicer students but also those who put up fake faces so just be careful in that regard.

The dorms are mediocre at best, they are old and in need of renovation. There is some speculation among us cynical seniors that the administration is becoming much to stingy and numbers-focused (worried about money and getting enrollment up) and they are starting to lose focus about what the college is for.

However, if you are willing to look past its flaws and if you don't let people get to you and you feel as if this is where you want to go, go for it. The majority of the professors are great and the programs are good.

VFCC is a joke of a school. Professors and students are leaving like crazy and it's no wonder why. A school this closed minded and ignorant cannot expect to survive in the world of modern higher education. Go to Evangel is you're stuck on A/G school, or go to Liberty if you want a solid, structured education, or go to Messiah if you want an academically challenging experience. Just don't go here. Unless, of course, you want to be babied and talked down to while insufficiently educated professors attempt to cover up for the fact that the school is losing ground quickly by discussing the power of the spirit like is it exclusive for the use of those in the Assemblies of God.

They don't offer a single legitimate math or science class, so if you want to be a well-rounded student, don't go here.

I would ONLY recommend VFCC if you're a dead-set A/G student who has a desire to regularly attend chapel without the burden of difficult classes.

VFCC has an incredible faculty who are highly qualified and could have jobs at more prestigious schools, but choose Valley Forge because it is more of a calling for them then merely a job. So they are very dedicated. They teach you more how to think than what to think, even though the information learned is extremely valuable. The student life, however, I do not appreciate as much. The rules seem to cater more to an older generation of traditionalist Christianity than the modern student and can be overly restricting on things that normally are no problem elsewhere. The campus is small, so it is easy to get to know most people there and it is a generally friendly atmospher, although nowhere is perfect. It is a great place to grow if you let it be, or it could be a great hindrance to growth if you allow it to be, just like most colleges.
