Student reviews

Professors

Freshman

Overall good education for small animal science majors - anything else may be less suitable for you. Not very commuter friendly, NEVER any parking, classes are hard to get into, but majority of the professors are willing to go above and beyond to help you learn.

The experience I had at Delaware Valley was a lot different than it was in high school. At my college tour, I was met with future teammates, and they were all good guys, and they were able to make me feel welcomed. Along with the staff, a lot of the staff seemed very genuine and welcoming. The campus was great along with the environment. It is a very calm and green filled environment which is what I love.
