Insights on Mulhenberg?

Mulhenberg has recently caught my attention but there isn't a whole lot of info from students available. I'd love to hear more about it regarding academics, social life, and student support. Any insights?

Muhlenberg College is a small liberal arts college found in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It's known for its programs in the liberal and performing arts, natural sciences, and social sciences. Its program for business, historically strong, is particularly popular.

Like many small colleges, Muhlenberg's intimate class size is one of its strengths. The student to faculty ratio is 10:1 thus ensuring that students can get individual attention and develop close working relationships with their professors. Such an environment is valuable for intensive inquiry and discussions, as well as fostering mentoring relationships.

On the point of social life, the activities can be as robust as you want it. There are over 100 organizations where you can get involved, from Athletics and Greek Life, to various clubs and student government. Some students say that the social scene can feel a bit small given the college's size, but many appreciate its close-knit nature.

Muhlenberg also makes strides in student support services. Its career center provides excellent resources for internships, career counseling, and job search assistance. Students seeking help in areas of academic concern will find resources like the Muhlenberg Advantage Program, which provides tutoring, academic coaching, and workshops to enhance student learning.

While Allentown might not be a bustling metropolis, there are still plenty of off-campus opportunities including eateries, cinemas, and more, and New York City and Philadelphia are not so far away when you fancy a quick city trip.

Of course, all these might vary from student to student, but it is always good to remember that Muhlenberg isn't large in size, and therefore the college culture is a tight-knit community. Those who thrive in such environments will find it flourishing. All in all, given Muhlenberg's size and offerings, the potential for a well-rounded and engaged college experience is quite high.
