Review of Manhattanville University

from Yonkers, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

There are a lot of compelling lectures given on campus. Professors are active and promote student activism and involvement in the community. I've learned so much this past fall semester and I've made interesting connections with like-minded colleagues.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's a really expensive school, however there are plenty of scholarship opportunities for lower-class students. I don't appreciate that the tuition rose because of increased funding for sports.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do as much extra-curricular activities as you can while you're still in high school. My extra-curricular activities helped me get accepted into Manhattanville. My SAT grades weren't as important as I thought they would be. This college prides itself on its diverse student body and giving lower-income students a chance to succeed intellectually.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
