Review of Marymount California University

from CHula Vista, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

What amazed me most about my new college is the welcoming atmosphere. The staff and students were so nice and full of energy and the unity between everyone on campus is great. The size of the campus is small so that there is a small student to professor ratio I believe this will allow me to achieve more knowledge then in an average community college.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

choose a school that has small class sizes if you want more one on one help with your learning expereience. choose a school in good geographic location with favorable weather. choose a school that matches your career choice

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

classes are able to challage the students here and it makes it an interesting expereience. also the teachers are so well prepared and always there to help.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the food is really yummy the cost is reasonable there are delicious meals for 5-7 dollars. we get free inn n out burgers on certain days and free starbucks as well. i love the food there.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

we have a shuttle that takes us to the beach and to the movie theaters so transportation isnt an issue we also get 5 dollar disneyland tickets and also of discounts to aquariums and theme parks. we also have moonings where bands play at night during full moons in the court yard for the students
