What Students Are Saying

Iona is a good school for you if you like a small campus and want to be at a school where you will learn a lot for the amount of money you are paying.
Michelle from Saint James, NY
Pick the school that's right for you. It's a big decision, but have fun with it!
William from Yonkers, NY
Just keep your grades up and stay focused in your senior year. Also visit the college to make sure this is the school for you.
Zhane
Make sure you are okay with a small enviroment. Also be willing to learn and interact with other people in order to advance.
Victoria from Newburgh, NY
If you could, you should choose to dorm. Yeah, it may be expensive but it is something that all students should experience. The ability to dorm is a great way to meet many new students and create friendships. People can find other students who have the same major or have the same class and can help each other. It is definitely something to consider when choosing a college.

And also, don't be afraid to approach a teacher if you need help. You will not look like someone who is stupid because we all have that worry. We worry about what people would think when they ask for help. It is not something to worry about. Students need help all the time and approaching a teacher will greatly benefit. The teachers will help you until you get the material or direct you towards a tutor to help you aswell.
Brittany
Be sure to attend as a resident, as it would be an ideal way to fully experience the college as a whole.
Emanuel from Yonkers, NY
I advise prospective students to understand their financial aid packages and realize that Iona College is a private and expensive school!
Madalena from Yonkers, NY
Class attendance counts!
Get involved in as many clubs/organizations as you can.
Attend on campus events.
Ariana from Long Island City, NY
Get involved! Always try to join clubs and also participate in soup kitchens and mission trips. It will be the best experience that you ever had.
Elvia from Bronx, NY
You definitely want to try getting involved in as much clubs and activities that you possibly can. Be outgoing. Be yourself.
