Manhattanville College Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Raymond

At the end of the day, this is a liberal arts school - a student should attend here if the student would thrive in that kind of environment. You will have to take courses in other disciplines, and if you would not enjoy that, this really isn't for you. If you would enjoy some exploration and don't mind having to have a minor, this is a great fit. Additionally this is a school that is very diverse - so students that want exposure would also have a great time.

Anybody can really attend this school. I would recommend this to school to people who like being in small classes, and like a small campus. When you walk around campus you get a really friendly vibe so if you’re like friendly schools this is the school for you. If you are a person who likes to have one on one attention from your professors this is the school for you.

The kind of person that should attend manhattanville is everyone who is willing to grow inevery aspect. People here are from all over the place so you will learn from every person you encounter.

Michelle

The kind of person that is willing to do anything and everything to pursuit there career, who is able to give it there all. The reason of my response is because there is many oportunities in this school to shine and out due yourself. Many students do not take advantage of such privelage to have many opportunities to get scholarships by doing community services or participating in a organization. However, there is more to our school than good students, there are many attend this school for a sport such as soccer, hockey, basketball and others etc...

Christine

A person who is kind of low key but not really. If you want a big school, this isn't the place. This place is like its own little community...practically everybody knows everybody -- sometimes its beneficial, other times it isn't. If you like the club scene, but don't want to go to the city(only 30 mins away), then this isn't the place for u, but we do have good bars. If u like the sense of community then this is ur place.

Cara

A liberal person who is open to accepting others. The college is a liberal arts college and there are many different people who come from different backgrounds. If you do not judge others based on their race or sexual orientation, you would fit in. The school is serious when it comes to academics, but it is not very competitive. You must be dedicated to your education.

Stefano

People interested in education, psychology, and/or business should attend this school. People more interested in math and the sciences should look elsewhere if graduate school is a future goal, but the math professors here are quite helpful and know there subject well. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics departments are a bit more disorganized and less helpful. Students that like small colleges would feel very much at home here. The school has no fraternities or sororities, but there are plenty of activities for outgoing individuals including division 3 varsity sports and volunteer service. Also, the school likes ethnic diversity a lot.

Colin

The kind of person that should attend this school is a person that should be open to anything that might come there way. They should be able to listen and to take that information and use the knowledge that is given to them and make a future out of it. To use the information to make the world a better place, to teach if they want to teach and to produce new technology if they have the genius. But finally they should be patient and attentative.
