Freshman: As a high school senior, I did not know what to expect when visiting a college or university. But I will say, Cairn University has exceeded my expectations in an incredible way. Not only is the student body incredibly welcoming, accepting and kind, but the faculty is amazing too! In the few times that I have been on the campus, everyone has been so encouraging to me, not only as a prospective student, but as an individual. When visiting classes, the professors actually allowed me to participate! I feel that the way the faculty interacts with the students is what makes Cairn so successful. The students have the support they need to persevere in their work, no matter how rigorous the class.The school offers so many opportunities to participate in activities even outside class. A great way to make solid friendships and to be involved. I even read a report that Cairn is the 3rd safest school in the nation! I am really looking forward to doing my undergraduate work at Cairn.... Read 539 reviews

Alum: It is a wonderful and small campus, which is exactly what I needed. I had some of the most incredible professors, and learned so much about myself and my own beliefs and goals in life.

I was a Youth Ministries major and loved the program! It’s a very safe campus, and the only real complaint I have is how horrible the sports are. The rugby team was a blast, but I refused other sports because of poor quality. My freshman year was awesome, and I felt very accepted and included, which is rare for an autistic person....

Sophomore: My overall experience with the University of Valley Forge has been incredibly positive and rewarding. From the moment I enrolled at the university, I felt welcomed and supported by the faculty, staff, and my fellow students. Academically, the University of Valley Forge has exceeded my expectations. The professors are knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely care about their students' success. They have not only provided me with a strong foundation in my chosen field of study but have also challenged me to think critically and develop my problem-solving skills. The small class sizes have allowed for meaningful interactions with professors and classmates, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. The campus itself is beautiful and well-maintained.
