Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot There is so much to learn at Valley Forge. The professors help you not only in the courses, but when it comes to life experience. Most of them are a little older and can give great advice for both aspects of learning.
Am enjoying being here I love Valley Forge. It's become my new home, and my best friends are there. It's great being able to live with them, and we always find fun things to do in our free time to get away from the academics. It's also very close to Philadelphia and King of Prussia, so there are many places to get away to.
Bang for the buck It is a little expensive, but there is a plethora of financing options and scholarships that are available. And in the end, it all becomes worth the money put into it.
Tips for prospective students Take advantage of S.T.A.R.T. team activities, learning opportunities, and chances to have fun on campus. They are really useful, and very helpful to incoming students who are still learning the ropes of college life.
Great for these types of students It's a great place for students who want to grow more in their spiritual life, and feel that God has called them to this school. It's also great for those who just want a place to feel accepted into a society of great people.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am learning quite a bit but think there could be some more structure in the courses.
Am enjoying being here If you are in God's will and He wants you to be somewhere then you will enjoy where he puts you.
Bang for the buck I think that finances need to be looked at and reviewed.
Tips for prospective students Pray and let God lead you. Do not worry about finances and how things will work out. If this is God's will then it will work out.
Great for these types of students Valley Forge is a great community for anyone who is seeking God's will and wanting to learn more about the Bible and the Christian perspective.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Valley Forge Christian College is a college that you sure will be accepted and feel like it is your home. The college has awesome professors and they will never reject you. You make awesome friends!!
Tips for prospective students Just be yourself and you surely will like the college!
Academic Rigor The academic is nice. They teach you well.
Dorm Life You can either live in apartment, a single, or a double. Singles are nice because you are by your self and you don't have to depend on anyone else and you can have your time to study by yourself.
Food and Dining The food is alright. There is a lot of selection but sometimes really not that healthy.
What to do for fun Well what I do for fun. I hang out with my boyfriend go to his house for the weekends and basically just hang out at college campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They usually have movie night once a week and they also do plays. They also have a nice music department and concerts.
Great for these types of students To be honest this college is great for any student just be ready to be spiritually fed.
Clubs and Activities SGA, and there are many different little things that you can do with groups of people.
Campus Safety The campus safety is amazing. The security people are always on duty never is there anyone not on duty.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences 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.
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!
Academic Rigor 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.
Dorm Life 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.
Food and Dining 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 to do for fun 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.
Clubs and 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.

Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot I've been in a few of their classes while on Campus during a Breakaway event, and I found the subjects challenging and interesting. I even learned a couple of things just sitting there listening.
Will enjoy being here I loved the time I spent on campus. It has spacious grounds so you don't feel stifled or claustrophobic, and the population is small giving it a homey feel.
Bang for the buck While the cost does make my wallet quake a little, there are so many scholarships available that I feel confident that I can afford it with minimum debt. They really make an effort to help you get an education.
Tips for prospective students Visiting the campus more than once is important, and sitting in a couple of classes helps you get a good feel for the school. They have events to show you around their campus including Breakaways twice a year, College-for-a-Day that can be scheduled when convenient for you, and Open Houses.
