Coming from an internationally geared educational background, Monmouth could offer more; but that doesn't mean that what they do offer isn't enough. Let me put it simply: education is what you make it. Monmouth's relatively easy curriculum has forced me to strive for my own stars and aspire to be the best that I can be, even when that means blowing teachers away. In terms of cultural learning, too, Monmouth has much to offer (especially to those from out of state, like me).
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
ABSOLUTELY! It was a rough start at first, not gonna lie, but getting involved and getting to know people (and being comfortable with who you are as a person) is the way to go! Don't let yourself get bored, and you'll enjoy every second of your time at which ever school you choose.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Monmouth has a ton to offer in terms of socialization, but like I said before the education is lacking. Again, college is what YOU make it, so if you want more for your money, that's your responsibility. The resources are there-- they may just be hiding.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved. Stay busy and active, and know your limits. If you need to study more, study more. If you need to hang out with friends more, do so. Take care of yourself and learn about your resources. (And if you choose to attend Monmouth, don't hesitate to reach out to your peers (myself included) or your professors. They're there to help!)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students with adventurous spirits, a love for fun activities, including school-sponsored trips and on-campus events, students who prefer small class sizes (thanks but no thanks to the lecture halls), and are eager to put themselves out there.
