Its a small college that allows you to actually get to know your professors and peers. You become a part of the Mount community that strives to meet the needs of the students. There is always someone there to help you out, either academic-wise, socially, and even economically.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't worry about your first day here; you if your are lost just ask around and people will direct you where you have to go. The teachers here are also very, very, awesome, and they really do care whether you pass their class. Don't buy the books if you can - rent them - it actually helps save money. Also if you didn't get into a class, and its closed, you can always go on the first day of class, and most of the professors let you join their class. Try to befriend upperclassmen. They will know what teacher are out to get you, and what classes are a piece of cake. Go on ratemyprofessor.com to see what reviews professors have gotten - it actually does help you in choosing your classes. Some classes, you wont really need a book, you will depend on the PowerPoint slides that the professor makes, so ask around and find out what the other students that have take that class say.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The GE's are really easy to pass. The professors expect you to do your readings, and stay on track of the syllabus. Stay on top of your readings, and GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY!!!! Attendance does count, and it goes as part of your grade. They try to help you understand, but if you are struggling, we have a learning center where you can get a tutor - GO! it really does make a difference getting help from someone. Overall, the classes are easy as long as you do your part study, do homework, etc.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a commuter so I'm not sure what they Dorm life is like, but fro what i have heard, everyone is nice, and people who live here have it easy, given that their classes are a couple of meters away. There are always some activities/ festivities for the residents . Rooms are fairly big, and the view from the rooms is incredible since Chalon is on a mountain - literally.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Their food is good. Not much of a variety, but it does taste good. They have the menu online showing what they are going to give for the week. a couple of things don't change, like the burgers, but beside that, everyday there is something different. And a fun thing is that they sometimes hold events like Chef wars where the chefs compete and make something. The students are the judges and they pick which dish is good. The also have a cafe, where they make smoothies, frappes, tea and hot drinks - not much of a variety, but its still good.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
They have a stop trans. Its like a shuttle that takes you to specific location, such as the mall, or the promenade in Santa Monica, or restaurants, and even stores. So you can leave campus, and breath a bit away from all the studying. Also Leadership and Student Programing and Commuter Services, ALWAYS has fun events where there is free food, and arts and crafts type of things. Those event are fun to go to.
