KESNIELA

The College of Mt. St. Vincent is the last college I ever planned on going to. Originally, it was my safety school but looking back on my decision I sincerely have no regrets about attending the school. I love my advisor and I have liked all of my professors thus far. However, you will run into issues with the financial aid office in many occasions. But overall, the mount is a good college

I love the science department! everyone is so helpful and encouraging as well as the whole campus. We are a small school and everyone knows everyone, which means our students support one another and encourage each other to do the right thing and strive for success. A big plus is that our campus is absolutely beautiful!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    The advice that I would give to both parents and students about finding the right college and making the most of college experience would be one saying. "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket." I was 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sure that I wanted to attend a particular Division 1 University and I fell in love with the school. Unfortunately, due to an injury my senior year of high school, my D1 Baseball scholarships were retracted. I chose not to look at other universities before this point. After receiving notice that my scholarships were taken away, I had to scramble looking for D2 and D3 colleges where I could succede both athletically and academically. The coaches here, along with administration did everything they could to help me with my situation. Wrapping it all together - Keep an open mind to what college you are looking at. Do your research on various colleges. And go into everything knowing change is comming. Its a hard adjustment, but if your willing to strive for success- you will certainly find it.

  6. What's unique about your campus?

    One of the best things about the CMSV is the great location it’s at. As a resident it’s really easy to forget that you are in fact a train ride away from both home and a great city that has to offer a lot as I explained earlier. This is the best thing because you don’t get stuck into that crazy city life and actually do end up focusing more in your schoolwork. The perks of being near the city are that you have great opportunities to internships that may offer you a job after you graduate.
