Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Freshman

The couple of months that I have been a student at Moravian University, I’ve noticed a couple of things. Professors are super kind, and are willing to work with you as long as you put the time and effort into their class. The people there are super down to earth and are easy going. The classes that are provided make sure to go into every subject unto detail, and although I would wish it was a was a bit more culturally diverse, it’s honestly an amazing place with a bunch of talented and amazing people.

Student

Although I haven’t started attending there yet, It looks like a great college, and I’m excited to attend there in the upcoming school year!

Student

Quiet campus in a great town! Everything you could want and/or need is within close proximately. Whether it’s dining, shopping, or sports- it’s close by!

Freshman

I enjoyed the atmosphere around overall. Very lively students and helpful faculty. Makes it seem like a place truly fit for students who want to learn. I have only had a limited time still but am excited to continue my education in such a positive atmosphere.

Sophomore

So excited to go back In the fall. Had a great first year as a freshman. Professors and other staff were very helpful and made the change to college so comfortable

Freshman

I only went up for a visit it it felt like it come be home to me for longer. Growing up in the Lehigh Valley and it being close to home helps a lot in this next journey of life.

Freshman

I love the school spirit but would like more dorm options to undergraduates. Would like more food options like jersey mikes wtc.

Current Student

The food here is pretty good. There are four main cafes you can dine at, two on north campus and two on south campus. My favorite places are the Blue and Grey Cafe, on north campus, and Sandela's, on south campus. Both places have a little market inside, which is pretty cool.
