This is an excellent choice for female students who enjoy having a close knit community. The class sizes are excellent. The faculty and staff are extremely caring.
Tips for prospective students
Be prepared to endure one of the greatest learning communities that you will ever step foot in!

The food is always fresh and there is always a excellent variety on a daily basis. Parkway Grill and two Starbucks have just been added!

There are many resources that are included with your tuition.

Everyone takes the school's mission statement to heart. When you become a student, it becomes a part of who you are.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Mount Mary University is a community that focuses on the whoel person. The one on one attention that is given to each student is unique and extremely helpful. Mount Mary's mission and values are carried out by the staff and professors on the campus.
Tips for prospective students
Take advantage of office hours and use your advisor as a resource. Use the library resources to your advantage. There is counseling and advising that is no extra charge to you.
Academic Rigor
Mount Mary's professors expect a lot, but once you see that you did all that work throughout the semester, you see how much you really have learned. The learning only starts inside the classroom.
Dorm Life
I do not live on campus, but it is a quiet campus. No parties here.
Food and Dining
The food is great at the beginning of the year and then starts to fall in quality as the semester goes on. But, there are multiple Starbucks around campus.
What to do for fun
Karaokee nights, random trips to waterparks, the Petit, Six Flags
Bang for the buck
If you use the resources you have to your full advantage, you will feel liek you got what you paid for.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
You will; find spots that are for relaxing and spots that are for socializing. The library's comfy chairs seem to always be fought over.
Great for these types of students
If you like small class sizes, one-on-one attention, help in the middle of the night, quiet places to relax and study, and the feeling of being in a big city but on a smaller campus.
Clubs and Activities
Honors Program, various Greek life Honors groups, Campus Ministry, NCAA Division III, etc,
Campus Safety
They are always walking and driving around. Great conversationalists too

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.
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.
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.
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.
Great for these types of students
With a Mount Mary degree, people will recognize it. You will go places.
