I love Molloy College and what it has to offer to its students. The staff is completely invested in the students best interest. The professors make themselves available to students all the time and hold continuous office hours. I would recommend Molloy to anyone!

Caitlin

Molloy College is a very small, mostly commuter school. I am currently an athlete here so I fall into the community of other student athletes, which is a small percentage of students here. There are mostly theater and music majors that come here for the CAP21 program, so I feel as if I do not fit in most of the time. Being a small commuter school makes it so that Molloy does not really have a college campus atmosphere because I am one of few students that dorm. If you like being a big fish in a small pond, then Molloy might be the right fit for you.

Emily

As a high school senior in a very privileged school, I was always comparing myself to others. Our uniforms made us look equal, but we were all far from that. If I could say something to my past self it would be, look up. Look up to the ones that matter the most and not the ones that bring you down. Strive for something greater than reaching for something that's easy. Pass with flying colors instead of being one with the crowd. Emily, make yourself stand out because you are smart enough, brave enough and no matter what life may throw at you, never settle for anything less then you are. College is not just going back to school. It is about finding out who one truly is and what they can do. It will be challenging, there will be bumps in the road, but you will make it through. You will surpass all expectations everyone has for you, and impress everyone around you, including yourself. When life seems to be knocking you down, keep your head up and eyes on a very bright future.

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

    When I was a high school senior, I wasn't even sure I wanted to go to college. Five years later, after being out of school a year, I find myself feeling the exact same way. What am I doing? Is this what I want? Is it worth it? Will I be able to handle working, school, and everyday life? The truth is, I have no idea. All I know is I've done it before. However, knowing what I know now, five years after high school, here's a short list of things I wish I could have told my eighteen year old self: -Weekends start on Friday, not Tuesday. -Drama is everywhere. There is no magical date where one becomes an adult; people need time and experience to grow up. Have patience. -Doing the right thing is hard. Do it anyway. -Whatever you're worried about right now really won't matter in ten years. Really. -You're stronger than you think. It's funny, but all those things I wish I could have told myself years ago still apply today. Except for the one about weekends- I learned my lesson the hard way with that one.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school is the food services. Although they are kept clean and sanitary, I believe that more staff members should be hired which will eliminate long lines and allow us students to continue on with our day more quickly. Also, there is not much variety when it comes to our food choices. In my opinion, I think each on-campus food station should be expanded and given more food options.

  6. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    My school is a very quaint school that is very personal. All the staff and faculty are very kind and will help you with anything. My relationship with my professors is great! I feel like the professor's here really take the time to get to know the students and actually remember their names! (Really different from my previous SUNY school I attended and graduated from in Fall 2008) They are also really big on volunteering which I think is wonderful since giving back to the community is an obligation for all and is usually easily forgotten in other schools.
