Review of Marymount University

from Washington, DC

Describe your college in three sentences.

It's a beautiful campus and the size is just perfect to feel big, but not intimidating. Every faculty member and student has been nothing less than fantastic and very outgoing. Before moving in, I already feel like I'm a part of the community.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I suggest going to see the campus on Senior Day; that's when I made up my mind to apply. The school's constantly evolving to form a better Marymount University.

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

I've only attended mock classes during orientation so far, but it was great and very interactive with the professor and my classmates. I made friends in class without breaking any rules because we were encouraged to talk with each other! And the course list is neverending so you can always be academicall challenged.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Due to renovations, I have yet to see the dorm that I'll be staying in, but the overnight orientation in a different dorm was nice. The building was located close to every other building on campus. It'd be near impossible to get lost.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Marymount University supplies students with amazing cooks and chefs in all of its dining halls. There are even different types of dining, from restaurant style with a menu and specials to buffet style.

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

There are many, many clubs for students to join and you can always find orgagnized activities around campus. However, if you feel like exploring, Marymount is only a short shuttle + Metro ride away to Washington D.C! The possibilities are endless and the shuttle runs every fifteen minutues.

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

I suppose it can be expensive, depending on one's point of view, but there are tons of scholarship opportunities, student employment, work study, and internship opportunities. If you work hard, you can make things work and Marymount is worth it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Marymount's great for all types of students. It's great to have a school diverse in types of students. If you procrastinate, you might meet someone who spends all their time in the library. The two of you could rub off on each other and create two students with perfectly balanced lives.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are tons of clubs! Check them out. As an incoming freshman, I have exploring left to do, but so far, I'm satisfied.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I haven't seen any here, and I'm okay with that. Marymount feels like a community for everyone to join without excluding anyone. There is a small prescence of Greek chapters, but no dorms for them.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I met an officer at orientation and he actually offered his personal contact information. Campus Safety truly cares about every student, on and off duty.
