    the Nazarene is a wonderful school, the professors really care about each student, they are always there to talk to. It doesn't matter if you're 24 or 50 you are a student and treated as equal, as just another person on campus. the kids are very welcoming and

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Mount Vernon really care for their students. If I don't understand something I know I can talk to them and get help. MVNU is a Christian liberal arts school so not only am I learning about my major but I am becoming more of a well rounded person. A lot of schools stuff 70 or 80 students in with one professor but not at Mount Vernon, I feel like I'm a student and not a number.

    Am enjoying being here

    For me it is almost financially impossible to return to Mount Vernon Nazarene University. However, I love this college. There is so much to do including Cosmo groups (community service), intramurals, there is great classes, and a wonderful christian atmosphere. I have a huge heart for MVNU and that is why I'm doing so much work to get scholarships!

    Bang for the buck

    When you pay tuition you expect to go to class and gain at degree. When you apply and go to Mount Vernon Nazarene University you are doing so much more than gaining a degree. At Mount Vernon you are gaining a wonderful life experience and you are making friends that become like family. Getting a degree may be an ultimate goal but it's important to enjoy the trip and at Mount Vernon you will.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your admission counselor they love to work with prospective students. Don't get your books in the Cougar Corner bookstore they are so much cheaper on amazon and ohiolink. Keep your dorm room door open for at least the first month because people will stop in and become friends with you. Go to Friday Night Live, play gotcha in jterm, play every intramural you can, and work hard in classes.

    Our Psychology department is amazing and I love our professors! So pysch majors. Also anyone who loves to get to know others and be in a great Christian Atmosphere!

    Am learning a lot

    Professors here don't just hold a degree for their area of focus, they hold a passion. Their enthusiasm for and thorough knowledge of their subject really shows, and helps me be more interested in what they have to say, even when it's about something like math.

    Am enjoying being here

    I had a pretty great high school experience, and was afraid that college would pale in comparison to the fun times I had back then. MVNU did not disappoint, though. I am always chomping at the bit to get back on campus after summer break. I always have a blast. The friends I have made here are ones I hope I'll never lose!

    Bang for the buck

    Although I had the opportunity to have a full ride to a state school, I still chose to attend MVNU, and there has not been one second that I have regretted that decision. The growth I've made both spiritually and academically, as well as the friends that I've met and the experiences I've had there, make MVNU worth every last penny to me.

    Tips for prospective students

    Freshman move in week is jam packed with events for the new students. You might think some of the events are dumb, or that you don't want to go, but don't just blow it off! That first week of school is a great time to meet a lot of new people, and doing that can help college feel more like home in just a matter of days. Some of those people might become your best friends! (And even if you really didn't want to be at whatever event is going on, you're probably not alone, so find some people to pass the time with!)

    Great for these types of students

    Any student who wants college to not just expand their mind, but to help them grow spiritually, and help give them a support group of Christian friends for when they venture into the world after college.

    Will learn a lot

    Their education program is excellent, but very rigorous. After meeting with my professors, I expect to learn a lot, but be challenged a lot as well.

    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful, and there are things to do around campus. There is a bike trail and a movie theater very near to campus, and cool activities such as Sunfest come to campus each year. It is definitely not a city environment, so if you are looking for lots of malls and clubs, this is not the school for you.

    Bang for the buck

    With all the benefits that I will gain from being at Mount Vernon, such as the small class sizes, Christian environment, and faculty that truly cares about the students, I think that it's truly worth the price of admission. Additionally, the financial aid office works hard to make sure you get the money you need.

    Great for these types of students

    MVNU is great for students who want to grow in their faith and continue in their Christian walk during college.

    In three sentences

    mvnu is a good school and i have been blessed to be a pseo (post-secondary education option) student here for the past 2 years. growing up in mt. vernon, mvnu has been a big part of the community and i have gotten to know many of the past students who loved going to mvnu. overall, i believe that the profesors and staff at mvnu really do care about each student and would truely enjoy seeing each one succeed.

    Tips for prospective students

    definately visit the campus, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    Academic Rigor

    most of the teachers truely want you to succeed and are more than willing to help out in any way they can.

    Great for these types of students

    mvnu's strong points are their education, athletic, and art programs/majors.

    Campus Safety

    you feel very safe on the mvnu campus.

    Am learning a lot

    While attending Mount Vernon Nazarene University, my expand of knowledge has grown immensely. The skills that I have learned are relatable and necessary for life. The Professors make this possible by providing written notes to the students which I find key to study and learn in my classes. The Professors are also very helpful; a student can ask many questions.

    Am enjoying being here

    I really like MVNU. MVNU offers great academics, fun activities, and environment. Although academics are usually a main factor in deciding where to attend college, entertainment and activities are also important. Mount Vernon Nazarene University provides fun-packed movie nights, sports activities, bomb fires and lots more! MVNU is also a place to grow spiritually with the LORD. A student can enjoy chapels, communion, and service in the community. Students can join Cosmo groups, which are a group of students who go into the community and help serve others. For example: the elderly, homeless, underprivileged, adults, and children.

    Bang for the buck

    I believe that students at MVNU receive beyond how much they pay to attend. Students are obtaining a high quality education, and still enjoy attending Mount Vernon. Although, the cost is not cheap, I believe students are completely satisfied in the end.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you have not already visited MVNU, I would recommend making a quick call or visit their website and schedule a visit. You could visit on a specified visit day, which are listed on MVNU's website, or you could take a personal visit. It is always wise to visit a University so that you can make the best decision for yourself; if the University provides what you are looking for.

    Great for these types of students

    Mount Vernon Nazarene University would be great for a student who wants to learn, have fun, and grow spiritually with the LORD!
