Berrell

University Of Valley Forge has a great digital media and music program! It is a great opportunity to learn and get hands on experience, and not just in the class. They offer they opportunity to participate in chapel production. That is anything from running sound to manning a camera or operating lights or the presentations. There are dance groups, improv teams and many other ways to get involved in the community.

I think it is a great school its just not for everyone. It is a small school and a christian school so there are a lot of rules that others may not understand or agree or want to be part of. But the people are super sweet and caring and Chapel and classes are always amazing but the weekends there is nothing to do its very boring. Wish we had for events and things to do.

UVF is a place where you not only go to get education, but you become family. It is a small school that allows you to get to know one another, and interact with the professors. The professors care about you and a lot of times help you outside of the class room and also spend time with you as well. There are some things that need to be change and they are in the working progress of changing a lot of things at UVF. Overall I'd say that UVF is a place that if you like small settings and like to be close to people, UVF is the place to be.

The University of Valley Forge is a campus on the brink of achieving success. The root of its success will be the effort its students and staff put in. We are not the biggest, or the smartest, or the best at sports, but I do believe we have the best hearts. There are faults in our leadership and in our class room consistency. Our discipline programs on campus are ineffective and ignored. The athletic program is full of apathetic students using the school as a stepping stone. Despite all these downfalls, things are changing. You can see with every upcoming class these problems are dwindling. While things still need fixed, I am confidant things are turning up.
