Most Popular Majors

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The student body is notorious for its overwhelming praise for Muhlenberg. Despite whatever complaints you may hear about the housing lottery or parking, the majority of students graduates with nothing short of adoration for their 'Berg experience. The professors make classes rewarding and challenging, and the overall community is supportive; these two things together help students find their ideal home-away-from-home. There are some students who dislike the school's small size, saying that with a limited party scene, the weekends become uneventful. Others say they believe the community is warm, close-knit, and active because of the small size. Students are as dedicated to their clubs as they are to friends and schoolwork, so there is always some student-run activity on campus. If you look in the right places, there is always something to do.

The majority of the student body does love Muhlenberg, but that does not mean the school is for everyone. Muhlenberg is a small campus and is not exactly in the most metropolitan location. Just remember that an eventful world exists outside of Muhlenberg—so explore it! On the flip side, do not forget that the same professors who welcome friendly conversation also expect students to engage whole-heartedly in challenging assignments. There will not always be time to come to the beck and call of every party and distraction. Thankfully, many of the students who come to Muhlenberg expect to be challenged. So, even when you feel drowned with work, your friends and peers will be trudging along with you.

School Overall

I think Muhlenberg is a great college for its academics and programs in the performance arts. I have made some amazing friends and my professors are very helpful and knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. Allentown is also a wonderful area that is both urban and suburban. However, I wish there were more things to do on campus and clubs were more proactive

Close-Knit Community

Overall, I am enjoying my time at Muhlenberg College tremendously. I feel like I'm actually learning in my classes instead of memorizing pointless information. It is a smaller school, so by then end of your freshman year you will know or recognize most of the people on campus. But it's worth it because there is tons to do on campus and you really feel like you have a whole new place to call home and a family to go with it.
