<p>Hi - have not visited yet - hoping to do so this fall when S2 is a junior. Attracted to Muhlenberg because of the small size, attractive campus, reputation for quality academics in a friendly environment, and Jewish-friendly environment. Son is a B+ student who would probably major in business. I could see him being very involved in Hillel and maybe intermural sports - but he has no interest in anything theatre related. Would Muhlenberg be a good fit for him? I am starting to be concerned that it might be too oriented towards theatre and performing arts.</p>
<p>RM: fwiw, the majority of the males we know at Muhlenberg are science and business majors…and a few athletes sprinkled in there…when you visit, this will be clarified for you…</p>
<p>I think that CC posters are focused on the theatre program because of the competitive nature of that particular major at all schools (and because of Muhlenberg’s rep in that area)…</p>
<p>If you need to talk to parents of boys, let me know…</p>
<p>Rockville- I was in the same boat as your son in the beginning of this year. When I looked at Muhlenberg, I had no idea it was such a theater oriented school. I have never really been involved in anything theater related, and because of this I thought that it would be hard to find things in common with a lot of the students. However, I really liked every other aspect about the school (small size, good student/professor relationships, welcoming environment, good psychology program, reputation, Jewish population, location (to home), etc) so I applied ED. I just attended the accepted students day on Saturday and I absolutely loved it! Everyone was really nice and at least from what I saw, the students tended to be pretty well rounded. I met basketball player who is majoring in theater, and a business major who is already starting a band with kids he met through facebook. Being there on Saturday really left no doubt in my mind that choosing Muhlenberg was the best choice I could have made. I visited around 10 schools (GW, UMaryland, Ursinus, Union, TCNJ, and more) and not one of stood out to me more than Muhlenberg. </p>
<p>Good luck to your son!!!</p>
<p>Thank you both so much - it stays on the list!</p>
