Rating 3.69 out of 5 378 reviews
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. The facilities, including the library, laboratories, and classrooms, are equipped with modern technology and resources, enhancing the learning experience.

The professors seem to suffer at the ever changing requirements of the people above them. Don't try and work with anyone that isn't a professor, within a year or two they will be in a different position and you'll have to start over with someone else. Financial aid will immediately request funds due and will deny you access to your classes, but don't you dare try and call them because their secretary will do their best to pretend to help and not get you anywhere. Also, that whole office seems to take a three hour lunch between 11am and 2pm. Any classes with the president are just a repetition of his sermons in chapel. Don't bother contacting him either, one of his lackeys will reach out to you and act with his authority, but of course without any of the knowledge or understanding he might have. Unless you are rich or have connections, you will be forgotten and fall through the cracks. The professors are the only redeeming quality of this school.
Valley Forge is a great place for someone who wants to experience genuine relationships with people. There is a lot of diversity, so I feel at home with everyone who is here. All the professors take the time to know who you are, to know your story, and to know how to best help you in any situation.
