Muskingum University is the perfect home away from home. The campus is beautiful and the walks to campus are always very peaceful. I have absolutely loved being a muskie for the last two years and I can not wait for the day that I get to graduate from here and join the long magenta line of alumni. I have joined a sorority, a sports team, and I am in an honors society for sophomores. It is by far the best decision that I have ever made.

It is a great school to be able to make new friends and get one on one with professors. There is so many activities to stay in the loop around campus. I feel like I can always get my work done in the library or in my room. The student life is so nice i feel so much at home.

Muskingum University is a great campus. The campus has great views especially in the fall season. The teachers are amazing. In the education department the professor really want you to learn information that you can use when you go into the professional field.
