Programs are good if you belong to a select few. Because of the other Lehigh Valley schools, those who want strength in a certain program will choose based on that. Moravian has education, nursing, and some sciences. Likewise, Muhlenberg has theater programs and Lehigh has engineering. This creates a notable lack of academic diversity. Professors are very helpful, but that only goes so far when the students are disinterested and gossipy throughout the class. The students are, as a whole, from within a half hour from the Moravian campus. The admissions office seems to have little effect if they even attempt outreach. Granted, the school has a few students from over thirty minutes away, but they are rare. With this locality, it is certainly a suitcase school as well as a commuter school. Only about 80% of all students live on campus, and since not many houses are available at college pricing off campus, those remaining students in the 20% are mostly commuters. I cannot stress the locality of this school enough.Students also have little regard for academics or personal appearance. The vast majority of students, no matter the day or time of day, wear athletic pants and a t-shirt with a hoodie. Not in the standard college student sweatpants and spirit sweatshirt on weekend mornings; this is ALL THE TIME, all weather, all occasions. Academically, most students are reluctant to be outgoing in class except to find a laugh from classmates. The students who do volunteer tend to get eye-rolls from many other students.Food plan is a failure and I believe it relates to the locality of the school. Weekends have the worst food. There is always a salad bar and pizza, but that gets boring very fast. Weekday food is generally good, especially lunch, however the cafeteria is closed between meals which makes it hard on some schedules. Breakfast is nothing. The most food services does is plug in a waffle iron. Otherwise it is just hoppers of cereal and yesterday's desserts.Housing does get much much better very quickly but first year housing on North Campus is hellish. It looks like prison: small rooms with cinderblock walls and warping, torn carpet or scratched tiles. The furniture is just about 20 years old so it has its fair share of ware. Buildings and grounds services seems helpless. They focus on the quad/athletic field and little else. Common furniture and rugs are stained and torn. TVs are broken occasionally beyond image recognition. The fitness center is missing weight pins and the seats on the stationary bikes are shredded. The worst part going to and from classes etc. daily is the unbelievable amount of mud pits where a sidewalk or fence could easily prevent the problem.Maybe this is a good school for the Lehigh Valley, middle class college student with average SAT scores in the 400's and more interest in sports than academics. If this isn't you, start looking somewhere else as soon as you can. |
