DelVal is what you make of it. Get involved, work with your professors. You will succeed, they will guide you.

Honestly an amazing school. I would recommend people to go here.
Overall 4.5
YOu are immersed in a learning environment that makes you WANT to learn and enjoy your major. Give amazing hands-on experiences and helps you get as many opportunities as you need. The food on campus is honestly a hit or a miss and theres ALWAYS something to do on the weekends. clubs hold different social events on AND off campus.

Beautiful campus and student Life . You're not a number here. Your professors, staff and other students here here know you and your name. You won't get lost in the shuffle. A great hands on learning institute with excellent programs/curriculum. Does a great job at preparing you for your career and great career connections. I miss my days here

Love Del Val
Overall 4.2
This school slaps, literally could not have enjoyed four years of my life more. Just don't sit in your room all day, of course it won't be fun if that's how you live. Make friends, and get involved. I have never had a single problem with any professors, they have all been great to work with. Campus is a fun place to be, you just have to look

Delaware Valley is an amazing school if you go out and embrace it. If you stay in your dorm it will not be the school for you. Join a club or 4 and get involved with other people, because as much as it is an educational school you will remember your social life better than anything else while on this campus!

This school is very racist. The amount of things people do and say is crazy. Even faculty looks at you different if your skin is not white. As much as you try to fit in and try to get along with people they will always make you feel different. It is sad because it's not always the student, it can be professors and faculty.

Awful
Overall 1.5
Lots of people in my class are transferring, I plan to do so also. it is overpriced for what you get out of it and the social life sucks
Overall 1.6
Campus is not diverse and the school doesn't go above average to help you in any way.
Overall 1.6
This school has 0 social life. It is small so that is the only thing it has going for it in the classroom. Some professors are very nice and helpful, but many arnt. The dorms are awful and completely outdated. There are no dorms with kitchens, and they are all very small. The food is awful so expect to drive to eat off campus every day.
Overall 1.7
Nothing better than the fresh smell of cheap w**d on your way to class! The professors are not too great, the student TAs are more helpful than the professors if you're lucky enough to have one in your class. The downtown area (30 minute walk) has better food than whatever is being served in the dining hall.

Literally don’t go here. If you have no friends, you’ll be so bored. There’s nothing to do on campus because it’s so small. I have never regretted a decision more.
Overall 1.8
Terrible. Professors are unhelpful, food gives you food poisoning, expensive, smelly, no one seems to care for the students wellbeing. Animals are treated awfully, no AC in dorms. Wouldnt go back if my expensive tuition was paid in full.
Overall 1.9
Came to this school because of their E360 program but turns out you are required to pay extra for the program and are required to do it, when essentially you could just get yourself an internship without the extra tuition payment. Some of the faculty are high school teachers, very understaffed and the advisors are rude.
