Additionally, the College is ranked #2 on the Best College Theater list, which is based on student ratings of campus productions. The Department of Theatre & Dance presents five or more theatre productions and several dance concerts each year, ranging from experimental blackbox dramas to Broadway-style musicals. Shows by the Muhlenberg Theatre Association and more than 20 student-run performance ensembles — everything from a cappella to hip-hop to circus performance — add to the College’s vibrant performing arts scene.
The College is ranked #19 on the Best Campus Food list, which is also based on student ratings. Muhlenberg Dining has been consistently recognized for its quality, earning the top spot for college food in Pennsylvania from 2020 through 2023, according to Niche. Its latest addition is a Simple Servings allergen-friendly dining station, debuting this fall, which will avoid gluten and eight of the nine most common allergens that collectively represent approximately 90 percent of all food allergies.
Student feedback also helped place Muhlenberg on the Best Mid-Atlantic list. Muhlenberg’s inclusion on the Green Colleges list was determined by a combination of student feedback and institutional data regarding sustainability. Muhlenberg's newest academic building, the Fahy Commons for Public Engagement and Innovation, is among the most ambitious sustainable building projects of its kind. In addition to being LEED Platinum certified, Fahy Commons is the first Living Building Challenge CORE Ready Building in the world.
