Categories Comments Great for these types of students Mount Mary is great for people who love to give back to the community. Anybody with leadership skills should also consider going here because that is the quality that this college enforces into us.
Tips for prospective students Apply for scholarships early! Sometimes due dates can just slip away and you miss out on the chance to earn money for your education. Financial obligations shouldn't keep you from going to any college and so I want to advise you to look for scholarships early on.
Bang for the buck Mount Mary is a private college and because of that it is a costly college. However, I do not think the Instructors realize this. They do give us days off and days were they let us out early. I believe that if we are paying for these courses, we should be able to go to school everyday and learn something important.
Am enjoying being here Mount Mary is a very beautiful college. I really do enjoy being there because everyone is so helpful and caring. They do really make you feel comfortable and are happy you are there.
Am learning a lot I am really learning what it is to be a good person here. One required course students are to take is a class called Seminar to Social Justice. That class really opened my eyes to all the things that go on in our earth, that I never knew about like, sex trafficking, child labor, and things like poverty, and racism. Not only are we learning about these problems but we also learn what we as people can do to stop it.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students With a Mount Mary degree, people will recognize it. You will go places.
Tips for prospective students Tips I would give to prospective students are stay on top of everything. Do not fall behind, because the minute you fall behind, things get hard. Do not expect things to be easy either. Challenges come our way for a reason. With that, use any and all resources you can. As long as you have connections (which is networking), everything will be fine. And if you are ever in financial need, stay on top of scholarships; there is easy money out here. As for classes, always be on time, and pay attention! Don't expect others to keep reminding you of what to do.
Bang for the buck Mount Mary is an expensive college. As long as you have connections and help yourself, good things will ensue. You are in control of you.
Am enjoying being here i do enjoying being here at Mount Mary College because I broaden my horizons and learn about different people and cultures. It is a different world when in college. I plan to be here my whole four years, because I enjoy being a student.
Am learning a lot Since I have been here at Mount Mary College, I have learned a lot more than I have in High School and become a better person. By learning as much as I have already, I know that I will a woman who transform the world. I have volunteered at The Gathering, I currently work in the Admissions Office, and I so grateful of my learning experience here. I plan to continue to learn as much as I could because knowledge as power, as everyone was all told many times before. With what I learn, I plan to teach others so they could be educated on things they do not know. With learning and having much experience I know that I could go places in life, all I have to do is continue to take advantage of it.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Hard working, artistic, needs one on one teacher attention, needs tutoring or extra help
Tips for prospective students Academics are very big and because I had such good grades they were very interested so if you are thinking about attending, good grades are very beneficial to you in the category of scholarships and what not.
Will learn a lot Everyone I have met has been so warm and welcoming. I immidiately felt at home and not as if they wanted me to attend mearly to earn a paycheck. It's personaly, not at all like a factory where they just punch you out the door as soon as you are done. They are helpful, kind, accepting, personaly, and truly sincere about who I am as a person and what I need to earn a degree. This school is fantastic and I can't wait to start attending Mount Mary College. This place is truly exceptional!

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Apply for scholarships. Sign up as soon as you can for classes, so you can get the classes you want/need. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Bang for the buck The school is private so it is expensive, but I feel it is worth it. I think it is worth the money it because at Mount Mary you are have a name and are not just another number. The faculty at Mount Mary want you to succeed and willing to help you, so you do succeed.
Am enjoying being here Everyone here is friendly and willing to help. I live on campus and all the students in the residence hall is very nice and friendly. Also the residence hall council plans many events for you to do and get involved in. There are many organizations you can join. Also sporting events are fun to go to and the cost is free.
Am learning a lot I am learning a lot here at Mount Mary. The teachers are very willing to help you with your classwork. The class sizes are small which is extremely nice because the teachers learn your name and get to know you as a student instead of as a number like at larger colleges. Small class sizes also helps me learn because I get easily distracted, so less students equals less distractions.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students commuter
Tips for prospective students Make sure you are 900% sure that your ok with a school that is very small, commuter based, and calm. Most girls that do live here go home every weekend. The sports and organizations aren't very big. I came to this school thinking that this would be a perfect fit for me but I quickly realized that this school isn't for me.
Bang for the buck Again. classes are great and laid back but the whole atmosphere is just off.
Am enjoying being here The social life here is not the normal college experience at all. Myself along with a few other freshman plan on transferring soon. Not because of classes but because its so commuter based. Theres a few activities a week to do but the environment isn't very cohesive.
Am learning a lot I love classes here. My professors are always willing to work outside of class on something if your having trouble.

Tips for prospective students Make sure that you stay on top of filling out your paperwork and everything that you need to do, then the process moves very quickly.
In three sentences This school is amazing because the staff is so helpful and friendly. The campus is beautiful and inviting. I begin this college in the fall and I am excited to be able to go to a really prestigous school with a great reputation.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security is always available. They will drive you to your car at night or even to the bus stop.
Great for these types of students Parents: childcare is available Interior design students: annual fashion show showcasing your work and peers (provides a networking opportunity) Bored students: any student can start up their own club or organization, rent out bikes, or take advantage of the dance studio.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The pool area is ancient.
Bang for the buck Not the coffee areas, if you live on campus though you will get free munch money to buy snacks or coffee from your id card.
What to do for fun Do you, experience new things. Participate in unpredictable activities and get up a small group of friends and do most of your hanging with them. That way you get a college experience and a support system that will potentially last a life time.
Food and Dining Food is great. Definitely an upgrade from previous years and has a board menu. There is a meal for everyone.
Dorm Life Campus life offers less stress from the outside world for sure, so consider it if possible. The worst thing to take away from campus life is experience; experience guides your future, so it really can't hurt. Mount Mary's campus life is like a club or student organization, it is devoted to making college life easier to handle.
Academic Rigor College runs a lot smoother when taken seriously. Your academic track will make or break what opportunities you are given and when they are given to you. Keep in mind that this is college not high school so determination and endurance is essential.
Tips for prospective students If you are thinking of attending Mount Mary College be sure to set your finances straight. Definitely take advantage of the tours and getting to know program leaders, as they can offer a lot of insight into how college is not an ordinary experience. Believe and yourself and don't give up, EVEN when teachers and family don't believe in you.
In three sentences Full of support when utilized. Absolutely life-giving and inspirational. Mount Mary College can improve on certain areas but not many; I love Mount Mary College!

Dorm Life Mount Mary's dorm life is small and simple. If you are looking for a large, crazy dorm experience, then dorm life at Mount Mary is not for you. If you are looking for a safe, private, and friendly enviroment, then Mount Mary dorms are for you.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is always campus security around. Either in the hallways, in the parking lots, residence, and in the dining room. They make you feel safe because the doors are secured and watched by them. They are only one call away when you need help or are endangered.
Clubs and Activities The clubs and activities held at the college are great. We also have sessions like for FAFSA or for resume building, workshops for everything. The clubs are so active and are always doing something and giving back to the community.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus A tradition we have at school is movie night. Every month a movie is picked and announce to be showing at school. The movie runs from 4-8pm with 2 showings involved. There is also bingo night/grocery bingo. SO if you win you get a gift card or groceries.
What to do for fun There plenty of activities that our PAC team plans and provides our campus with. These events includes dances, movie nights, bowling, water parks, special lunches, bingo nights, etc.
Food and Dining The food is quiet delicious. There is a salad bar, different foods served every day, they are considerate about the students who attend the college about types of food to make like vegan food. There is a section of desserts such as ice cream, cookies, brownies, etc. The dining room also have a variety of drinks you can choose from such as soda, water, milk, coffee, etc.
Dorm Life I don't personally live in the dorms myself but my friends do and they love it. They have their own personal space for the single rooms. The shared rooms with roommates aren't bad either because they are no known complaints.
Academic Rigor The academic achievements are tremendously great. The students are more focused on studies and less distracted by the environment we are in. Not necessarily because it's an all girl school but there are small classroom sizes so there are no distractions. The professors are caring and loving. They offer out of class time to help students become successful in whatever major they are in.
Tips for prospective students Mount Mary is one of the best decisions I've made in life. I love the environment, the teachers and students are friendly. There is always someone willing to help when you need it. We are all about leadership and social justice.
In three sentences Mount Mary is one of the best college choice I've made. I love it there due to the class size, the people, education, etc. Mount Mary offers over 40 clubs to join and the Student Success Center. They help us as students to grow, learn, and achieve our goals to become successful women in the near future.
