Attending
Valley Forge was one of the worst decisions of my
life. The faculty quality is horrible (consider the fact that
NON of the professors are published in any academic journals
or have books published). The faculty is really nice and
friendly, but if you want a proper education go somewhere
else. I attended for two years and then transferred
out. Best decision of my life. I now have a
B.A. from a real University. Do not go to this
college if you value academic rigor at all. The majority
of the professors assign joke homework that doesn't interact with
current scholarship. If you ever expect to go to graduate
school you will be grossly unprepared.
The readings we
did for most classes were fun, but in retrospect had
nothing to do with modern scholarship. Only when I left
the school did I realize how unprepared I was for
attending a real college. Don't expect to have any challenging
classes. The classes are all easy and require little effort
to pass. Paper writing is a joke, if you write
a paper that is semi-coherent you will probably get an
A in any class. I never had one professor help
me become a better academic writer.
Do not expect
to have a diversity of classes available to you. Don't
even expect you teacher to know what they are teaching
also. I took a Business math class while I was
there and (I swear I'm not lying) the teacher would
come to class and tell us “I really don't understand
this and I'm not sure why they gave me this
class”. They will often have teachers teach classes that they
aren't proficient in.
Valley Forge overworks their professors and doesn't
give them any time to publish (News Flash, teaching 5
classes a semester is NOT the norm for any professor).
The majority of the student body is about as bland
as could be. They are unoriginal and do not think
outside of the box. If you consider yourself anything but
mindless drone, do not go to this school.
This
is one of the most unhealthy colleges in existence. I
can't say this enough. DO NOT GO TO VFCC. If
you want a Christian education go to Liberty or Evangel.
You can find a better education at a community college.
Please stay away from this school, it's too expensive to
go and brings way to big a headache.
