This Is Worth a Read (Everything)
Students are very involved in campus activities (Hillel, frisbee, Student Government, Class Activities council, Tourguides, Theatre, etc., clubs, and community service, and greek life (starts as a sophomore) are all available options on campus. I for instance, am secretary of Campus EMS.
The sports teams are quite a dissapointment, but the intense academic rigor certainly makes up for that.
Most students are extremely fun, loving, yet hard working, and affluent. Everyone is always smiling, eager to engage in social activities with their friends. I have yet to meet someone who is not friendly, helpful, or decietful. It is true that students carry alot of confidence and class in all of their, encounters, obligations, academics,and activities. The women at this girl are generally the type "Males pick from to bring home to mama."
There is something to be said for the way the this tight knit community cares for its stuents and their wellbeing. At other larger selective institutions that my friends attend, they were in awe when they saw the pamphlets for parents coping with separation anxiety after dropping their children off at the start of the semester. One once said, "What? They never do this at my school. You learn to either sink or swim. If you sink... well... atleast they have you're money." Ironically, their $50,000 tuition is higher than mine, yet mine is not far behind.. On the first day of my freshman seminar, we unexpectedly were invited to a barbecue on the presidents lawn. His cute dog prawled around on the lawn while he introduced himself and made an effort to speak to every single student. The students were able to enjoy the signature Muhlenberg Cookies with refreshing lemonade. Its unlike any other college experience, definitely in a good way.
The amenities (Especially the dining hall/ gym/Library/ lecture halls) are beautiful and state of the arc, each night at 6pm the duration of the bells are the longest. The chimes coupled with the sunset relinquishs the old charm and welcomes further future improvements.
There is alot of school spirit, but mostly people just like to be comfortable. Suprisingly enough, it is unusual to see someone that is not well kept or well dressed (definitely not a sweatpants school).
In terms of Student Admissions, this school is no "Safety." Since 2009, admissions have become even more selective. The education that is offered is top notch, as most people from all parts of the United States become well acqauinted with Muhlenberg, the publicity pushes it up in the rankings. Overall, if you are not a serious student GPA 3.75/ SAT atleast 600 on all sections/ alot of community involvement (Admission into Muhlenberg will certainly not be a gaurantee.)
