I am sorry that you had a poor tour guide on your visit. My daughter is a freshman this year and loves the school. We visited 17 schools and this was the number one choice by my husband and I. She wanted to go to Bard and didn’t really pay attnetion to detail on the first visit. When we narrowed the search down to the top 5 on the second visit she was impressed. So far we all find the students to be very friendly and have lots of school spirit. I was visitng on Sunday and a large number of students were wearing Muhlenberg clothing. This says a lot about how the kids feel about the school. Every contact we have had with any type of administation had been very pleasant and professional. Move in day was very orgnaized and there was plenty of staff there to help. They even gave us directions to local stores. The classes are challenging and they have plenty of evening sessions for help and review for tests. It is a Lutheren school and the Jewish population is at least 1/3 of the school. There is a Hillel program that runs a lot of social events and all the students are welcome. I am not under the impression that if you are not Jewish that it is a problem. My daughter is very happy there and that makes us happy. She is not coming home that often and that speaks for itself. I would strongly suggest you contact the admissions office and discuss your experience with them. I am sure they would want to know about it.
