Manhattanville College is such an amazing college. This college is a second home. It's a wonderful place where individuals with new and exciting ideas and minds can flourish in many fields of academics, sports arts, and more. This college is a part of us, we are a family who sticks together and has each other’s backs. We are all there for each other whether it’s laughing, joking, playing, caring for one another, late night studying, or intellectual, friendly debates during spare time. We are a family. Manhattanville has many things to teach us and as a junior, I have a lot to learn. This college with its foundation and great professors prepares us for the real world. Manhattanville gives us just the right amount of courage and hope to succeed beyond the classrooms and make real change happen. We are given a look of what we can do despite societal expectations, and cultural norms. We can do such much if we apply ourselves, which we do. We come to this college as young men and women with ideas, dreams, and goals to accomplish, we leave here as men and women ready for real would. We still have a lot to learn and we will make mistakes, but we are ready. We are a little naive, but we are ready. Whatever life throws at us, we will just overcome it because we are Valiants. We are Valiant Knights with our mighty swords raised high, and our protective shields and armor.

This is my second college and my first semester at Manhattanville College and I love it. Students are very welcoming and very involved. Professors, advisors, and staff are all very helpful and go out of their way to assist you in any means possible. The campus is beautiful, the academics are great, and the overall college experience is rad!

Skyler

Manhattanville is a safe and fun environment where students are encouraged to obtain the highest level education their hearts desire. There are so many inviting clubs, and people of all grade levels. I highly recommend this college to nay and all students.

Hannah

Manhattanville College is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere is welcoming and the community is so diverse. This school has so many opportunities for students academically and career wise. All the departments work together to help students achieve their goals. The fact that my classes are small allows me to have the one on one time with a professor which helps me academically. I've come to realize that the professors here have a lot of experience in their field and also have connections where internships and networking are concerned. The Office of Residence Life work together to make residents feel comfortable and like they are home away from home. There is always something to do on campus and it's not hard to get involved at all.

  15. What are the academics like at your school?

    Academics are mad easy for the most part. You have to work to get all A's but even then it's doable. Professors are pretty good for the most part but a couple are apathetic and don't really teach. Students are not competitive with each other and quite frankly don't really seem to push themselves that much either. Some do but most don't. The education program is very strong, however, and is well-reputed within the surrounding area, so if you want to be a teacher here is a great place to go. The academic requirements are pretty chill-ax and you don't even have to take a foreign language, but apparently they've gotten stricter on that since I've left.

  17. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    Students at Mville are thought to be rich because when people look at the tuition here the atomatically think "those kids must be well off." However this is definitely not the case as the school gives out lots of financial aid to student, which cuts the cost of school in half or even less than that most of the time.

  18. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    Despite it's lack in selectivity and that some students aren't very bright, Manhattanville is still a good school and almost everyone who goes there is pretty friendly and laid back. It's very small so gossip goes around quickly and once people have found their group of friends they rarely reach out too much beyond that. It's cliquey for sure, but most are still cordial to all other's. Also a lot of weird kids who maybe would be bullied at other school's but here at Manhattanville everyone is nice so they're not made to feel left out, and have each other. Also decent amount of socioeconomic diversity, with about 1/3 being first-generation but the few rich kids who do attend aren't overly snobby or brag about their wealth. Many problems, one being the lack of money and funding for the school. It does not have a big endowment so they have cut back on some academic programs and the dorms are pretty crummy and there are only four of them. Also, Manhattanville doesn't have a strong sense of community within the school because it is close to White Plains and New York City so a lot of people go there on the weekends and some week nights, and about 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students commute. Also, going along with that, this is not a big party school as a lot of small groups of friends and all the sports teams just go into White Plains to hit up the bars there, and do not party too much on campus. So this is a huge plus if you're looking for a school that is not all about partying. School pride is so-so and the retention rate is not so hot. New President came in a couple years ago, and is supposed to be more academically-oriented and wants to increase selectivity. Biggest problem is there lack of money.
