REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis is an excellent choice for female students who enjoy having a close knit community. The class sizes are excellent. The faculty and staff are extremely caring.
Tiffany from Milwaukee, WI
I am really learning what it is to be a good person here. One required course students are to take is a class called Seminar to Social Justice. That class really opened my eyes to all the things that go on in our earth, that I never knew about like, sex trafficking, child labor, and things like poverty, and racism. Not only are we learning about these problems but we also learn what we as people can do to stop it.

Danielle from Milwaukee, WI
Since I have been here at Mount Mary College, I have learned a lot more than I have in High School and become a better person. By learning as much as I have already, I know that I will a woman who transform the world. I have volunteered at The Gathering, I currently work in the Admissions Office, and I so grateful of my learning experience here. I plan to continue to learn as much as I could because knowledge as power, as everyone was all told many times before. With what I learn, I plan to teach others so they could be educated on things they do not know. With learning and having much experience I know that I could go places in life, all I have to do is continue to take advantage of it.
