The classes that I've taken have been very interesting. The introduction level classes give a very good idea of the different subjects you can pursue and enjoy. The advanced classes as well seem to cover the subject thoroughly. Many of the teachers are wonderful and helpful. They're often around for you to ask questions. Most times, they reply to questions on weekends and allow time to help you and speak to you after class, before class, or during their office hours.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
This school is very nice! We have a fairly wide variety of food for the students to choose from and a meal plan to suit almost every students' need. There are a bunch of on- campus jobs for those who have been awarded Federal Work Study, as well as for those that have not. The party scene is around if you want to be a part of it but it's also easy to avoid if you'd rather not be. The people are very nice, for the most part, as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is very expensive. That's a fact. They do, however, try very hard to award scholarships and grant money to those who need it. I don't think that many people have their full need met, but they do their best to award money. Actually, recently they have increased the amount for each merit scholarship.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take advantage of the small class sizes. If you're having trouble, it's very helpful because the teacher most likely knows that you are having a hard time. Also, experiment with classes. If you think you want to major in Biology, but you're also interested in Psychology, take introduction to Biology and introduction to Psychology. Both introductory classes will count for something towards graduation in the end :)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who enjoy close communities (everyone seems to know everyone on the Manhattanville campus) and students who are alright managing their own time.
