    At Molloy, you have to be try to not get involved in the campus life. There is always a ton of events going on and although it is a small school, the campus life is easily comparable to any larger school. I have been given opportunities here that I would never even dreamed possible in college.

    Campus Safety

    Public Safety consists of all retired Police officers, security officers, etc that have experience in the field.
    Greek Life

    No Greek life because we are mainly a commuter school, although we do have an Honor society for Nursing majors.
    Clubs and Activities

    Like I previously mentioned, there are 50+ clubs on campus and so many different ways that you can get involved.
    Great for these types of students

    EVERYONE !!!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Maroon Madness (first official practice day for the basketball team), Halloween Dance, Back to School BBQ, End of the Year BBQ, the list goes on and on.

    For me Molloy was the most affordable school. I did get a lot of money from scholarships. I found that because Molloy is so cheap, I am able to go on more study abroad trips.

    There are so many different opportunities and clubs to join on campus. In addition, STudent Affairs has an activity/ event almost every week. Such as, ice-skating, kayaking, etc.
    Food and Dining

    No college food is going to taste like mom's home cooked meals.
    Dorm Life

    Because it is mainly a commuter school, there aren't a lot of people who reside. With that said there is going to be people that you will meet and have an amazing bond with in the dorms/
    Academic Rigor

    Thee nursing program is hard, but that is because they are preparing you not only to pass the NCLEX, but also to save lives.
    Tips for prospective students

    Molloy has made me into the person I am today. Because of Molloy and all it has to offer, I was able to come out of my shell in college and was able to join numerous different clubs and make many new friends. Molloy is small enough where your teachers will know your name, but large enough that you can make friends from all different groups. Coming to Molloy was one of the best decisions I have ever made and the education and experience I am getting here as a nursing student will help me in my future.

    I am so happy with my decision of choosing to come to Molloy! Molloy has such a friendly atmosphere so it's very easy to make friends.

    Am learning a lot

    I have six great classes and professors and am learning a lot already. The honors and business honors programs especially seem in-depth and very educational. The professors in the business dept have first-hand experience on Wall Street as CEOs of top companies and firms and the connections they offer are so great for ifuture nternships and jobs.

    Great for these types of students

    It's great for any students who are willing to work hard and put in full effort. It's also good if you want to be involved in the community.
    Tips for prospective students

    I think you should definitely visit the campus and take a personal tour so you will know where your classes will be. I would also recommend you to go onto their website at molloy.edu and connect with other students who are going their.
    Bang for the buck

    I think this price is decent for a private school with such good reports.
    Will enjoy being here

    This college is close to my house and even though the campus is small i think I will find many new friends within the Honor's program and within the community.
    Will learn a lot

    I have heard so much of how this school has such good programs. I'm so excited because I'm going to be learning Speech pathology and i can't wait. I also see that this school has a nice student to teacher ratio which will help us, the students, to learn more.
