This institution is beautiful first of all. The students are very nice and open to new students. The class sizes are small, so it is easy to obtain that close relationship with your professors.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come visit the campus and take a tour. The students give the tours, so you can get a firsthand account on everything. Because if you are interested in going here, making a visit is the best thing you could do. Also, don't be afraid to email the Admissions office or Registrars and ask questions if you are not sure about something. They are all friendly and willing to answer anything.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This is my second institution and by far the education I have received here is the best. The professors are all top of the line. Because the class sizes are usually no bigger than 25,you can always find a few minutes after or before class to talk to your teacher. Also, you can be sure to build up a close relationship with professors because they want to know how you are doing not only in their class but your others classes. The course work is challenging, but in a good way. It challenges you not to only think about the course you are in, but to think outside of the box and into the future. Our 4 pillars are Community, Faith, Leadership, and Discovery. You can be sure that you will experience that here and then some.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are nice and comfortable. I personally live in one of the apartments here and they are amazing. Residence life has a unique system in matching you up to someone to be your room mate. So you don't have to worry about being roomed with someone you won�t like. 9 times out of 10, anyone who is a roommate I have seen them become best friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food here is pretty good. It�s not like in high school where there is only a line and you have 2 choices. Nor is it like some colleges that have fast food contracts serving their students because that can be unhealthy. At the Mount there us a section for almost anything. A full salad bar so you can make your own fresh salad. A sandwich and wraps area, made to order just the way you want it. A home food section, were they will have good meals like mash potatoes, chicken, etc. Pizza area, some nights they let you make your own pizza. The grill of course with burgers fries, the usual. And the desert section with all sorts of things going on from cakes and pies, to fresh baked cookies. Another thing to note is separate from the cafeteria is the cafe. It has a lot of the similar foods and they are open till 12 and sometimes 2am.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun, get involved! If you are the type to just sit in your room and maybe attend an event here or there you won�t have fun here. There are so many clubs and organizations here and someone is always throwing an event. So don't be afraid to get involved because you make friends that way. But we have an Outdoors activity office that always has something going on. They will do white water rafting, rock climbing, caving, camping, etc. I personally did the zip line and that was beyond fun.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Something maybe new to many students, is the fact that laundry is FREE! So don't worry about having to save up a bag of quarters.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I am sorry to say but because we are a Catholic institution there is no Greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is always around. This campus is very very very safe. I can express that enough. If anything is going on that might be dangerous on campus or in the surrounding communities campus safety will always send out an email letting students know. If the weather may be dangerous be sure to get a text, a phone call, you parents might get a phone call, and both of you will get an email. So you can always feel comfortable knowing that they will have you informed.
