<p>hello.</p>
<p>i posted about this but no one replied before.</p>
<p>what is the campus atmosphere really like there? i see some comments that say everyone is friendly blah blah blah and that most of the people there are snobby rich kids who look down upon everyone. i'm interested in this school but that's one of the only things stopping me. i don't like to deal with large amounts of people like that.</p>
<p>Hey I heard of it b4. Its up in the poconos. I don't know i think there well know in the sciences. Kinda of expensive. Thats about it.</p>
<p>1st piece of advice about anything online...weigh the information carefully.
Muhlenberg is a school located in a lovely part of Allentown, which is a blue collar sort of town. It has grown in very good ways over the years, offers competitive and strong education/ It is terrific in pre med and theater. As far as expensive... all colleges are costly, yet Muhlenberg is consistently referred to a a great"buy" in education. Most school it competes with range 40,000+.
They are generous with the merit aid if your SATs are high and EC wide... Many kids are from NJ and NY, therefore they are financially comfortable if not rich.
Most are friendly, yet like the status trappings.This is a great small school, that can offer you amazing opportunities.</p>
<p>I went to the party three weeks ago</p>
<p>Lots of white people, in a pretty ritzy part of Allentown in comparison to the rest of it</p>
<p>But I'm not white, and I think I fit right in, so that shouldn't hold you back (its upwards of 40000 a year price-wise, and its diversity is a contrsast to nearby Lehigh)</p>
<p>my daughter graduated from a suburban Philly hs, and was interested in Mule. she visited several times and got accepted RD and received tons of aid SAT's 1320, top 10%, tons of ecs. Several other kids from her hs got accepted and went there, but she decided to go out of state. Muhlenberg seemed like a great small college for the pre-professional student, kind of Penn-lite, but she felt it was too safe a choice and too close to home. the campus was very small and I think she felt M might be a little too boring. The other students who went there are doing well, but a little bored. I got the impression M basically produced.</p>
<p>I live 20 min away from it. I think it's supposed to be a good school academically. I don't know much about the school itself ...</p>
<p>how good would you say the program in international studies is? does it rank in worthwhile? i keep on hearing that liberal arts schools arent really the best place for it.</p>
