Review of Manhattanville University

from NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Manhattanville College has a full rage of majors and minors with knowledgeable professors who have a passion for the subjects they teach. Since every professor is passionate their lessons don't bore me to death and I walk away from the semester feeling like I actually learned something. Not only are the classes educational but there is such diversity on campus that I learn so much about other countries and their cultures.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I went to college thinking no matter where I went I would be miserable because I am not a home away from home person but Manhattanville really surprised me. The campus has such a community feeling everyone is friendly and I instantly felt at home there. Every professor I've had has really made an effort to get to know me and I feel like they genuinely care about not just me but my education as a whole.

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

Manhattanville is expensive but they do make an effort to make it affordable for those who cannot pay the full price tag. There are a wide range of scholarship options as well as grants. With financial aid my bill is at the same price as a state school and Manhattanville has many work study options for student who are eligible.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply for as many scholarships as possible it is worth it. Also keep communication open with Student Accounts, the Financial Aid Office and the department of your prospective major. Some departments give scholarships towards freshman.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Manhattanville College is great for any student who loves a small school feel, a close proximity to the city, professors that actually know your name and a beautiful campus (there's a castle!).
